Indian curry Recipes

[finitey]

Hi guys,
Just wondering if anyone has successfully used the thermie for cooking authentic Indian curries that do NOT contain coconut milk, cream or the likes. I have the Fast and Easy Indian Cooking book and am trying both the butter chicken (tikka paste made) and chickpea curry however was disappointed to see that the bulk of the tomato based curries are cooked on the stovetop or oven. I am wanted to start converting some great Indian recipes but struggling to find recipes I can base them on. Or is it just that the thermie unfortunately does have some limitations. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be fantastic!

sorry finitey, I find I'm not overly happy with the result when I cook meat in the TMX so stick with doing all the prep work in the TMX but then cooking on the stovetop or pressure cooker. The only meat dishe I routinely cook is the thai red curry with chicken.

Finitey, like Wonder I do not make many meat dishes in the TM.  I mainly make Northern Indian dishes and they do not contain coconut.  I love the Tikka paste but then grill the chicken like is done in India and sorry but Butter Chicken is supposed to be made from left over Tandoori chicken and I can't get my head around doing it any other way.

I have made the Boona Gosht (pg 81) a few times and my husband felt it was fine.  Perhaps you could use the Cashew Chicken (pg 78) as a guide for cooking times for a chicken curry but I think I would use chicken thighs not breast or even legs as I love meat on the bone for curries.

Good luck and keep us posted.

I only do a butter chicken in the TM, and red meat curries I cook on the stove as I feel they need the "long and slow" treatment.

I have also found that I use yoghurt instead of cream in dishes and sometimes I make cashew cream (equal amounts cashews and water, blend on speed 10 for a minute or so until it is thick, smooth and creamy)

Oh... finitey, I've just re-read your post. Please ignore my reply - I didn't help you at all. Sorry!

But if you do convert any recipes - we'd love to see them posted in here  please

Hi, I made a really yummy 'creamy beef curry'. But we used Greek yoghurt instead of cream.
 I class it as my most authentic curry to date as I realised half way through that I'd run out of curry powder and had to quickly toast and grind up some from scratch. It was delicious! Having friends round next weekend and will definitely be making that for them
