in need of curry recipe page

[PandaRose]

I want to make my first curry ever!! I have some curry paste, coconut cream and milk (I know both probably aren't necessary), an assortment of spices and vegetables, and some cubed meat. Will somebody please share a recipe with me?? Thank you in advance.

By the way, I don't have a food processor. Is one necessary?

Basic Curry Recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2-4 tablespoons curry paste (to taste)
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 can full fat coconut milk
1 bag frozen chopped spinach (optional, but it is just OH SO GOOD in curry)
1-2 cups water (depending on how thick you want the sauce)


Melt the coconut oil over med-low heat. Add in the chopped onion and saute until just clear, about 5 minutes. Add in everything else and turn to low. Simmer about 10 minutes. Add in pre-cooked meat and simmer to heated through.


This should do 1-2 pounds of sliced chicken, shrimp or sliced steak. Cook the meat (protein) separately then add into simmering sauce. You can thicken the sauce with 1-2t of guar or xanthan gum before adding in the protein.

This is awesome spooned over riced, cooked cauliflower.

OH and..... you can replace the coconut milk with a small can of diced tomatoes. That gives you a totally new curry flavor.

Okay - this makes me wish I had either coconut milk or frozen spinach in my pantry/freezer right now - and yeah, curried spinach is so yummy... I'm going into my pantry to figure out similar flavor experience for the frozen veggies I do have and a couple of eggs...

I did a lamb curry and posted about it on my blog: primalpat.com

It was honestly FOODGASMIC!

used to make with chickpeas all the time, now make it with chicken or lamb -
curry paste is 1 part ground coriander, 2 parts ground cumin, 1 part ground cayenne, 1 part ground turmeric, 1 part fresh ginger. plus one diced onion and one diced garlic bulb. fry the onion in butter (duh!), add as much curry paste as you fancy and stir it around a bit, then add your cubed meat of choice and fry a little while longer. add some quartered mushrooms (about the same amount by volume as the meat), one tin of chopped tomatoes, and a little stock to bring the liquid level to just surrounding the mushrooms and meat (not all the way to covering it). put the lid on and let it stew for about 20 minutes, then take the lid off and let it simmer and thicken for another 10-15 minutes. add a handful of fresh chopped cilantro (fresh coriander to brits/aussies) and adjust curry seasonings, salt & pepper to taste. if it's a bit thin, thicken with some ground almonds. devour.

^adjustable as per spices (hotter = more chilli powder or fresh chillies or whatever lifts your luggage) and if you want it to be fattier - and let's face it, we're primal so why not, you could add some double cream or coconut cream at the end. also, sometimes i pre-fry the mushrooms till they shrink and release their liquid and discard it - just cos it tends to turn the curry a bit gray. but sometimes i'm too lazy and i don't bother.

I dump a can of coconut milk into a pot and scoop out a few spoonfuls of Thai Kitchen green curry (or empty a packet of some other curry paste) into it. That's it for the sauce.

Add chopped of veggies of whatever kind is in the fridge.

Add either frozen seafood (shrimp, scallops, squid) or perhaps leftover roast beef or chunks of chicken or heck, even a can of tuna will do.

Top with cilantro.

Serve it over either rice or chunks of sweet potato or chunks of cooked real African yams.

Red curry works, too, but I like the green better.
