Oh cool would you mind posting recipe please?x

Hi the recipe is below but I never completely stick to a recipe so I've also included my alterations.

To the recipe I also add 1tsp paprika and I heap the ground coriander. I add a chicken stock cube to my hot water.

I don't grill the chicken and adjust the cooking time to ensure its cooked.

If I want a creamy curry (which I know dopiaza isn't) I add some fat free natural yogurt at the end.

I also don't faff blending the onion, garlic and ginger...I just fry them in fry light till the onion is reduced.

It's a bit of a case of trial and error as everyone likes different things.

Serves: 4
EE free, orig free and 6 on green (if using chicken as Hex)

Ingredients
1 large onion, chopped
1 level tsp ground ginger
3-4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 level tsp ground turmeric
1 level tsp ground cumin
1 level tsp ground coriander
¼ - ½ tsp chilli powder
1 x can tomatoes
4 skinned chicken breasts grilled and sliced
170ml/6 fl oz warm water
2 cinnamon sticks, broken up, or 1 tsp ground cinnamon
4 cardamom pods, split open
2 whole cloves
2 dried bay leaves
salt, to taste
1 large onion, sliced
2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander

method
1. Place the chopped onion, ginger and garlic in a blender, and blend until smooth. Add a little water if necessary.

2. Dry fry over a medium heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the turmeric, cumin, coriander and chilli powder. Cook for 4-5 minutes.

3. During this time add 1 tablespoon tomato juice from the canned tomatoes. When the juice has evaporated, add the chicken. Add the water, cinnamon, cardamom pods, cloves, bay leaves, salt and tomatoes.

4. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently, covered, until the sauce is thick.

5. Dry fry the sliced onion until soft and add to the chicken mixture. Remove from the heat, stir in the coriander leaves and serve.

Personally I didnt like the sainsbury ones but then I'm lucky our local butcher does unofficial free sausages that are fab!

Tea for me was cottage pie made with veal mince that was reduced in waitrose (get me!) perfect on a rainy day.

Wow that looks lovely.
 
Speaking of bangers. Watch channel four. I never buy cheap sausages. However I wonder the quality and welfare of the pork in ww etc. will look next time I can't get them from my local butcher.
 
I just made the creamy ham risotto from the SW website recipe, but used the remains of a smoked gammon joint, arborio rice and chicken stock instead of water with black pepper and mixed herbs and it was awesome! Even my fella and his mate enjoyed it! Definitely one I'll make again! X

My butcher makes mine from his own pork, mixed with herbs and they are god damn lush! We buy all our meat from the butcher - not only does the welfare concern us (oh was a pig unit manager for namy years and we've alwyas only eaten british pork as a basic standard) but any meat i have bought from the Supermarket is usually fatty, or just tastes not right. Plus i've found that butchers can be cheaper - we've recently moved and i must admit that the one in our local village is pretty much on par with supermarket prices - but the quality oh my days !! It would be worth any extra!
