Now, my last blog post covered off supermarket ready meals but, for some (most of my readers in fact!), nothing is quite as good as home made. However, many of us are still pushed for time and often lack the patience to cook a curry so I’ve rummaged through my recipe book and have chosen a handful of recipes for you try for yourself – all of which are delicious, quick and shouldn’t cost the earth.
First-off is Cobra’s very own Chicken Naag, created by Anjum Anand – not only is it very tasty but it is very quick and easy to make.
Secondly, dear old Jamie Oliver does produce some cracking, easy to make recipes that are certainly worth a try. I’m a huge fan of his Quick Salmon Tikka with Cucumber Yoghurt – it only takes about 20 minutes, is reasonably healthy and damn tasty!
Another favourite of mine is Kedgeree, a dish most commonly associated with Colonial India which doesn’t take long to cook and is a great way to use up left over Rice.
Finally, Sainsbury’s do a cracking Prawn and Tomato Curry that is tasty, quick and only costs a fiver! Who can argue with that!
Do you have any quick recipes you can recommend – please post them below and we’ll have a go!
Great blog – it is always useful to have suggestions for quick, tasty curry options.
I have discovered Chiman’s Authentic Indian Spice Blends. These are available in my local Indian shop in Easton, Bristol but you can also buy them direct online.
There are over thirty different ready prepared spice blends which are prepared by hand on a farm in North Devon to traditional family recipes. The list reads like your local take-away menu with all your favourite, meat, fish, vegetarian and side dishes all with easy to follow recipes on the pack. Most of them are just £1.40 although they also have a range of organic spice mixes which I must try soon.
They are great for a quick cook authentic meal with the satisfaction that it is home-made. I am planning on cooking my wife a romantic Indian meal this Valentine’s night so I don’t have to put up with all of the other ‘once a year romantics’ in a restaurant.
