Beef Madras and Naan Bread. Delicious Curry Cooked on a Campfire. Making Naan Bread. Making Ghee.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- In this video, I head out to the woods with my faithful companion Maggie, to do a bit of cooking. On the menu this week is curry - a belting beef Madras with Naan bread.
After setting up a tarp to protect us from the rain (that never materialised) and collecting firewood, I start preparing this mornings feast. First job is making the Naan Dough, then making ghee, an important ingredient needed for today. With these made, it’s time to focus on the main event - my favourite curry, a Madras.
I can genuinely say that this was the best curry Ive ever made and beats many I have had from restaurants over the years - heat from the chilli, sweetness from the onion and tomato and a delicious sourness from the ginger and lime - add to that a deep and rich flavour from the spices and the silkiness from the ghee - a delightful curry, accompanied by lightly charred naan bread to mop us the gravy.
If, like me, you love a zingy curry, this give this a go!
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching!

A man after my own heart! I love cooking and cannot imagine not doing so camping! I went camping every Fall here in Maine with my old German friend, Hans. He loved cutting firewood. I loved cooking. We had a canoe, beer, wine, my shotgun and my South African iron pot. We'd spend ten days out in the woods camping with my tent, and Hans' old Landcruiser.
Going to Be a good one Maggie a dog in the Woods , with her bloke Simon 😂
Maggie needs to have her own UA-cam Channel
Ahh...but then she will be demanding voting rights and her own postal codes! And an on site groomer!
I’ve only recently learnt the joys of wild camping and seeing a video like this warms me and makes me a little emotional, the simplest things can be the best and seeing how happy you and your dog are enjoying the simple things in life makes me feel a restlessness that will only be settled once I too am sat out in the woods, messing around like we’re meant to.
No you've got it all wrong. You need a Ferrari and A few Rolex watches to be happy in life.
*Tom Flegg* Hope you are still messing around and having fun brother. ✌️
This video is the epitome of enjoyment, if this don't want you to grab your gear, hike a few miles, then sit out in the rain all night listening to the camp fire crackle, then I'm afraid, you're a lost soul!
Get out, have fun 👍
@@irvsstella I’ve been working for a year in a kitchen as I save for my drivers, while the confining factors and money have been limiting, I’ve learnt a lot and met some nice people but my true goal, of going somewhere truly wild is on the horizon, however I will not neglect the opportunity to be in the local woods again.
One judgement of a bloke is how well he cares for his dog in the woods.....gold star Simon.
Thats a beautiful dog. Isn't it proof that a man and his dog are a sight to behold?
I'm no chef, but I get so much satisfaction when I prepare from scratch.
I too, share with my dog Tiffy.....it's like returning the love and friendship she gives me.
All the best mate
😎☯️🌱
There's just nothing better than that first dip of the naan in the sauce.
Is that a metaphor? 🤔😉
@@derekmcmanus8615
Well, this is usually followed up by the question "What's a metaphor?"
@ least one possible answer ->
"I don't know, what's metaphor you?"
The first dip is the deepest
Awww, beautiful Maggie. Fly high beautiful girl. xxxx
A man and his best friend in the woods, can only be made better with good food
Love the Channel Simon and nice to see Maggie . Rarely can I add as there is so much to learn from you, and in such a calm, pleasant and inclusive way …. But I f you use some salt with the garlic and ginger and smoosh the ginger, salt and garlic in a flat surface with your knife (the blade edge) it makes a paste really easily. I think your production quality is superb too, really convivial watching but imparting so much information with nice intros and cuts and visuals and sound track . Glad you have another post out !
Yes. All that he said.
Thank you Edgar! Great tip for the garlic smooshing too 👍👍👍
I think Edgar has fully hit the mark in how he describes your video.
On suggestion/question I have is:- why not use your grater to create the garlic and ginger paste?
Why does Maggie keep bring that Simon bloke with her? I guess someone has to cook the food and carry the gear!
Hahaha 👍👍👍
Top one.
Remember when Mags had to be leashed or wander off? She’s a good girl now.
And put up the tarp!
After you’ve flattened the raw naan put some chopped up coriander and garlic on the board, press the raw nann on to it and cook as normal.
Also make sure that the oil seeps out of the curry. As a food, especially curry loving, Bell prospector, and old sailing boat owner I think your movies and the outdoor life you promote is ace. Thank you for doing what you do. Fair winds and cold beers 🍻💨 Mitch
Absolutely lovely video and I adore seeing Maggie and you together. You can always tell how great a person is by the way they treat their sweet animal family
looked bloody amazing, i need some more woodland curry soon too! :D
I am your big fan sir. Please make some curry video on your channel.
Mags is such a good dog, she's so excited to be out and around that she's shaking with excitement.
Liked, subbed and comment because beef madras and camping are what's best in life ha.
Nothing else like this kind of food makes my heart sing louder I'm sure a little campfire smoke adds to the depth of flavour
I am going through very hard time these days because of my past mistakes.
Simon, you inspire me to find joys of living in a very simple way.
Thank you for bringing me bit of peace everytime you do these videos.
I keep coming back to this video. Simon and Andy from Kent Survival are my favourites but this is the thing I have made over a fire the most. Lovely.
❤️ ❤️ The beef madras with a garlic naan is something I will never forget until I die. I am a South African and lived in UK all over for 3 years in the 90s. ❤️ I could kill for a London curry right now LOL Or better yet a curry from Bradford *drool*
Come back bru
Bless Ya 👍🏻 stay safe.
You’ll just have to come back for a curry fuelled holiday! 😁
And there`s me thinking I`d kill for a bunny chow!
Thank you for showing the cleanup afterwards! It was nice to see such care given. Also, a while back you shared your spice setup - I picked up a rifle magazine pouch and those little plastic test tube vials - I love it! Thanks for the tip!
That sounds cool, I wish I saw that video.
As an Indian my self I give it to you mate!! That looked amazing very good
My eldest is a fine cook and a Happy explorer of ethnic foods. I will get these recipes to him!
I had a white dog (A Maltese) for 22 years. I thought only white coats showed all the debris! Poor Maggie looked like she had been dragged through the shrubs by her tail! So good to visit the woods today with you two. Blessings on you and your family and friends and any livestock you might have wandering around the house and yard!🕊🌱
Haha - I dread to think what Maggie would end up looking like after a few hours in the woods if she had a white coat! 😳
Thanks Mary!
Thanks for sharing this experience Simon. Love from the US!
I served your curry recipe this weekend while car camping. My friends were very impressed and we all thought it was delicious! Thank you for the inspiration and awesome recipe!
Great video Simon. Delighted to see Maggie doing so well. Things were a bit dicey with her; happy to see she's recovered, and is doing so well. Stay well & safe.. Cheers.
Simon, great video. As others have said, I love watching you cook. Looks delicious. I was so happy to Maggie - such a beautiful dog. You are one of my favorite channels. Thank you for sharing this with us. Such a joy to watch. Looking forward to your next video.
There is no finer thing to make you relax and self well-being than a dog for company in the outdoors and cooking over the fire a meal you really like 😋👌😜
I can't help but want to give Maggie a big cuddle every time I see her. I'm so pleased she is able to be out and about enjoying the woods with you. I can almost smell that curry, it looks so good. Another great video. Thankyou.
HEY MAGS!!! oh AND you too Simon 🤣😁😂 great to see you out in the 'wilds' and cooking again 👍🏆👍🌳🌳🌳🔥🥘
😁👍
You’re becoming one of my favorite Channel’s! Can you do an instructional on different ways to setup tarps in the future possibly?
Thank you! I’ll be doing a tarp video in the next few weeks 👍👍
👋👋👋Simon, Great to see Maggie too 💙 Awesome as always !!! you have that peaceful energy that radiates through the videos, all that you do and go through to bring us on the Adventure with you and Maggie is priceless !!!!! keep it going man🙌💙

Yum! Lovely peaceful vid...Maggie sweet!
I love watching you cook. And, that meal looked delicious. So happy to see Maggie.
Glad to see you back in the woods cooking Simon. That looked amazing. Just might have to cook that for Dinner tonight.
Love that you didn’t cut any corners - I admit I laughed when you toasted the spices, just like at home. Great job. Thanks!
Apart from the limes, bloody good show!
Could almost smell the curry! Good to see Maggie in the leaves too. 😀
That was a lovely instrumental at the end

Latif Inspired in the Woods, great vid, thank you for Curry and Bread Recipe
Another great vid, thanks. And lovely to see Maggie out again. I like to reserve a little minced garlic to add to the gee for the naan. That all looked delicious.
Can’t beat garlic naan 😋👍
Watching this AGAIN. Learning and enjoying. Been throwing FIT for weeks now... my table like yours..I had shipped to florida USA..a year ago..has gone among the missing. I love my little table. STILL LOOKING FOR IT. I've never had curry...I will try this soon..looks absolutely delicious
Outdoor homemade deliciousness!! 😁👍

"Mr. Holmes, they were the footprints of a gigantic hound!" No worries Watson, I'll get the ruby murray started.. Great video as always, thanks
Hahaha 😁
Can't get enough of watching this...one day I will try curry. It looks amazing
Love your hanging utensil holder, very organised and handy. Good to see you and Maggie out and about. Thanks for sharing 😊
Just found your channel, all my kinda stuff 👍spot on! I'm watching this in the morning and now I want a beef curry for breakfast!! 😄😄
Great job Simon. Enjoyed watching your video. Surprised to see you didn't make yourself a nice cup of tea!
I could just imagine the smell of that beef madras wafting through the woods and being beckoned over to try some......Although, I don't think I'd be in a hurry to give it away to a passing stranger. Thanks for sharing the video with us though Simon. It looked so relaxing there sat on a log in a beautiful English woodland. I heard a pheasant in the background a few times and it reminded me of a pheasant madras I made a few years ago. It turned out lovely!!
Cooking show in a camp setting
Nice
Excellent stuff Simon 👍🏻 great to see Maggie out with you again and that curry looked so delicious 🤤 nice t-shirt as well 🙌🏻
Looked grand Simon! I prefer normally a Vindaloo, but sure that’s a good thing to eat whilst in the woods! Lol!👍😎
I like Tarka dahl! It's a little Otter, old ones are the best
love the pup!
Been watching Andy and you on his channel and the antics lol....came and subscribed, had to
that looks like a beef stew looks yummy!!!
Another great video Simon, love the content and how easy everything is made to look. Keep the great content coming 👍
Always good to see Maggie out and about 😃, that curry looked amazing 🤤🤤🤤
A great demonstration of what can be done over a fire thanks for your time and effort.
Hi Simon my name is Mark LaTorre I live in Birmingham Alabama in the US I watch you all the time almost every day whenever you come out with a new video. I generally watch it on a large 55 inch screen and there’s not a way to make comments but I really do enjoy your especially like the ones changing your Land Rover and build it up to make a really nice camping system out of it you’re a great guy and I really do appreciate your videos and keep up the good work my friend touch base with me anytime. My son and I went through boy Scouts of America for many years he ended up becoming an Eagle Scout and we’ve been out in the woods camping everywhere for the last 20 years so we identify readily with the things you run into and find it very entertaining.
Sunday Morning Curry Club yes!!! Zingy is the only way to go.
Thanks for this and the recipe Simon.
Salivating as ever watching these vids!
Thank you for explaining what fatwood is, I've been wanting to know for ages as I've never heard of it before 🤔👍
Looked bloomin marvellous!
You can't beat a curry, nicely made Simon.
Excellent video!👍🏼, Simon. Maggie cracks me up
That looks beyond delicious! And every bit of it from scratch! Impressive. Food always tastes better prepared and cooked outside.... it doesn't come any better!
That curry looked delicious. I must try and find some places to wild camp and give these recipes a go!
Good to see you again! You too Simon LoL!
Fantastic find on UA-cam recommendations! Wonderful channel & extra happy to find all your Norfolk trails & Broads videos as we have moved to Norfolk (Brundtland, River Yare) from Wales 2 and a half years ago! Absolutely love it here & your videos make it even more special to explore & experience! Thank you so much 🐕⭐️
That looked so nice.cheers for the video.well cool.
Mmmmmm - watching this just having consumed a bowl of butter chicken curry and rice. Now to learn how to make naan bread.
That looked so good I could practically smell it, I love curries not to hot though, eating outdoors well it seems like everything tastes much better. I find your videos really beneficial to me because of the health issues I have I can't get out to do the things I love so you are carrying out doing what I crave for in you're video's which does help me with my mental health because I feel that I'm with you, all my feelings come flooding back to me while I'm watching you, the smell of your cooking the smell of the woodlands and everything else that goes with it, thank you so much for sharing you passion with us. I'll see you soon, Stuart.
Breakfast looked magnificent, Simon! I’m happy to see dear Mags out and about with you, too. A lovely cook in the woods! 💚
Hope your finger mends quickly!!
Very enjoyable video. Thanks Simon!
Brilliant Simon. I'm lovin your style of cooking mate.
Cheers Simon. Beef madras is my favourite too. Now my daughter wants to try it, so thanks. Love the Kent Survival t-shirt.
Man I wish you could do an extensive canoe trip to either the American Northwest or British Columbia!! I say these destinations as to me the rest of the Canadian trips seem overdone on UA-cam. Just my humble opinion but the Northwest and B.C. Are amazingly beautiful and not overused. Cheers Mate!
I know your famous now, so don't read our comments. But as an ex UK army Man I like your teaching technique. CLEM confidence, leadership, enthusiasm, manner. Well done.
Tried your recipe at home. Perfect Southern Hemispheres winter food 👍 tops mate thanks for the video.
😁👍👍👍👍nice one glad to see Maggie 🤪
Wow, that looked so tasty Simon. I was scrolling through my fav people wondering why no new videos had appeared over the weekend and then this video popped up. Cheers Pal !
Love that Maggie! What an awesome companion bud 😀. I could smell that curry all the way over here 👍👍.
Lovely. It has been a crazy summer. Haven't seen one of your videos in 6 months. Missed you, and Maggie! Inspired, calmed and happy.
Great vid, good to see Maggs as well, food looked delicious, trick I learned for Garlic is a pinch of salt on the clove then use the flat of a knife to smoosh it about, the salt works like a grinding agent and quickly breaks it down into a paste.
Great tip! 👍👍👍
