 Indian Roast Beef & Vegetable Curry
It is just over a year since I started sending out weekly recipes and to celebrate I have made a recipe adapted from one by Atul Kochher one of only two Indian Chefs in the world to be awarded a coveted Michelin Star. I decided to serve with Atul Kochhars Indian Roast Beef a South Indian vegetable curry which I made in the top pot. If however you do not have a top pot then you can increase the size of beef and increase the beef stock a little. The beef is left to thermally cook for as long as possible to make it so it melts in the mouth. This recipe is certainly worth trying and don't be put off by the amount of garlic and chili as both these mellow during the long, long cook.

Kerala Fish Curry

A Typical Kerala Fish Curry

 A Typical Kerala Fish Curry
Kerala's long coastline with numerous rivers and backwaters has contributed to many sea and river food dishes to be found in this region of India. This curry is typical of the type you will find in Kerala being served in both small and large restaurants. Due to the weather the selection of spices available in South India are vast and I have included some of the more popular ones in this dish. The beautiful yellow colour is created using turmeric which has been used in India for thousands of years and is a major part of certain types of traditional Indian medicine. Coconut milk which forms the base of the dish is widely used in Kerala for thickening and flavour and comes from the coconuts which grow in abundance. Just like any other recipe, each chef will have their own variation and this is mine for Kerala Fish Curry.

Recipe Notes

NOTE: If you need to leave it longer than this, do everything except adding the fish which you can add about 30 minutes before serving by bringing the curry sauce back to the boil, adding the fish and then putting the inner pot back into the outer container to finish cooking. Serve with rice either cooked in a separate saucepan or in the top pot. If cooking in the Mr D's Top Pot follow the following instructions.
