DIY Curry

The Holy Grail, for me, is to cook my own curry that comes even somewhere close to a good one in an Indian Restaurant.

Of course every ones got a favourite curry house, but in Belfast my favourite is definitely The Jharna

So, you keep trying in the hope it happens.

Anyway, went to St Georges Market; they have a market every Saturday with loads of food stalls, takeaway stalls, tat, rubbish and other bric-a-brac.

Anyway, by accident chatted to a guy running an indian ingredients stall and bought some of this:

Pickle

More Pickle

So, i tried some - OMG - how hot?! Excellent.

The guy also sold some ready mixed spices and chucked them in for cheap.

So, i bought some lamb, marinated it overnight in the pickle.

Next day:

• Sauteed onion and Scotch Bonnet chilli


• Added lamb and browned


• Added spice mix


• Added tomato and some water


• Leave to simmer for a couple of hours.

Flippin' gorgeous.
