    I'd love to see you make a whole bunch of sides and starters. If they're as good as your 30-minute curries then we'll all love you even more! Also, it would be great to see you roast/caramelise the onions in the oven, then blitz, as a stage 1 alternative. On lower-power stoves it makes things a lot easier.

    Made this yesterday afternoon for my Sunday cook up with a couple pints. Made alongside the Bombay Spuds! I would say, there is a large quantity of spices as someone mentioned which made the overall dish quite poweful and slightly bitter. In addition to the yoghurt you added at the end, I added 1 heaped tbsp of mango chutney and the juice of half a lemon and it really cut through the spices and developed the flavour. Tasted it again this morning and it tastes even better. Oh forgot to mention I also used stewing beef / braising steak and it was fantastic. It meant I simmered on low for a couple hours stirring from time to time, and added the potatoes 30-40 mins before the end and more of the onion water to properly cook the potatoes. Fantastic recipe. The staff curry is a big hit and the blended onions are a great idea to replace the base gravy.

    Finally got round to making this, and followed instructions to the letter, with a couple of minor modifications.
    1) Used 800gm boneless skinless thighs from Tescos. (Figured it’s approximately the same weight in edible meat as bone-in)
    2) My experience with these is they are very fatty so I cut back to 100ml oil, and it still fried out no problem.
    3) Used 3/4 tbl chilli powder as a precaution and the heat level was perfect. I had some spare red chillies and threw those in with the green.
    4) Being Irish I added extra potatoes :)
    Overall it turned out fantastic. The wife loved it. It’s a very balanced curry, not dominant in any one particular flavour, just a really nice blend.
    The bonus is, it’s even better after a night in the fridge. So much so, I’d nearly suggest not eating it at all day 1 (although the temptation might be too great!)
    Thanks again for the wonderful recipe. Will make again.

    Making base gravy and storing it in the fridge has been a game changer for me. I use 1 onion, 1 red bell pepper, 1 c diced carrot, 1 diced roma tomato, 1 tsp chicken base, and water to cover. Boil 5 minutes, drain and reserve broth. Puree and store in the fridge until needed. Makes about 4 cups and 2 cups is 1 curry for 4. Having a base gravy cuts total cook time in half. Thank you!

    I made this last night. It's a banging curry, i had a load of ingredients i grew in the garden to make it with. If i was making it again i would definitely add less spices, tbsp garam masala, tbsp cumin, tbsp coriander powder, tbsp tandoori powder, plus the chilli powders, for 4 people makes the spicing too strong. And i suspected it would be and added a little bit less.

    You have planned very well with all the ingredients you need to cook a home curry . One of the important thing to notice about the home curry is the oil should be seperated from the spices when it is well cooked or when it is ready , i mean the oil should float over the spices . And when you cook meat curry you should fry the those meats into the spice mixture a bit longer so that the spices get into the meat . And then you put water for the end cooking .

    Yes. This curry looks amazing. Can’t wait to cook it.. I love the staff curry as I’ve mentioned. It’s one of my most cooked.
    So this one I think is going to be an every week one. Or perhaps one week chicken, one week lamb etc etc.
    I do prefer curries cooked from scratch rather than the BIR’s. Although I do love a curry from the takeaways. At least once a week. And cook one or two myself a week.
    I have shared your curries with work colleagues. They love them.
    You may remember I recently cooked your railway curry. Infant three times in two weeks.
    But this reminds me of the staff curry.
    So yes as you say. This dish and other staff curries are more traditional..
    My favourites.
    And you can quite simply make these hotter or
    Mir sauce etc etc.. sweeter::
    Simon and so on..
    Great video Al.
    I’m a bit busy next couple of days.. So it might even get to next week before I cook it..:
