Hi Food Tube, Kerryann here.
I love curry!
All different types of curry, but this time I'm going to show you how to make a fantastic
fish tikka curry from Jamie's book Save with Jamie.
It's affordable, it's delicious, everyone who eats it is going to love it and it's really,
really simple.
All of this serves four people and comes in including the fish at just under £2 per person.
You're not going to get that at your local curry house!
We've got four cod fillets, I use a lot of frozen fish at home.
It's really, really affordable and not only that you only take out of the freezer.
What you're going to use, what you're going to eat.
Now, we're going to get started on the sauce, squeeze the juice of half of a lemon into
the plate, we;re going to use a tablespoon of this ready made tikka paste and mix it
in with the lemon juice.
We're going to put in our fish, give it a good old rub around and then once we've covered
all the fish in this marinade we're just going to leave this all on one side while we prepare
everything else we just want it to soak up all them flavours.
I'm just going to wash my hands.
Now, we need some garlic a piece of ginger, a chilli an onion and some fresh coriander
stalks.
Now we're going to keep the leaves because we're going to use these later.
Then an onion we're going to slice this, it doesn't matter if it's not perfect or uniform
or anything like that.
Chop up your garlic, ginger and coriander stalks into tiny pieces, if you're not that
handy with a knife, try a grater.
I promise, i wont tell if you wont!
Coriander's a soft herb, the stalks are a bit more rough and ready a bit more, you know
ghetto.
SO they can withstand heat and the cooking a lot better than the leaves can and then
some chilli.
I love spicy food so I would probably use the whole thing seeds as well.
Which is what I'm going to do know.
If your kids don't like spicy food, just use half or don't put any in!
We';re going to put these in a pan with some olive oil we want to cook it down and make
it really soft. and get a base flavour.
We're going to get the rest of the tikka pasta, which is two more tablespoons left and put
that in there as well.
We're also going to put potatoes in there as well.
We want to cut these into two centimetre chunks.
These are going to start soaking up this flavour straight away.
So we're going to give this a nice stir, so this is the nice base of our curry.
All we need to do now is leave it on a low heat until it gets all soft and all sticky
and that usually takes about 15 minutes.
Right come and have a look, now don't worry about all these dark bits on the bottom because
this is all flavour.
When we put some liquid in there, it's going to suck up all of that off the bottom.
And make your sauce really, really lovely.
So, let's get on with the next stage.
We';ve got two nice ripe medium tomatoes, cut them into quarters and now we've got 300g
of frozen cauliflowers florets.
I like to use frozen because you can just buy a bag of it and only take out what you
need.
SO again, it's no waste saving money ,y two favourite things.
And we've also go 50g of red split lentils.
And what these are going to do as when they cook they are going to puff and split and
make your sauce nice and rich.
And then we need 600mls of boiling water which is just over a pint.
Now I don't usually measure the water but I'm doing it for your guys; because I love
ya!.
So we will give that a good stir, now right I know it looks a bit water and a bit thin
and a bit hmmm but trust me, when you come back to this it's going to be rich and thick
umptious.
Oh my god I've waited so long to use that word.
And delicious.
Leave it alone for 45 minutes and we'll be back.
Ahhh, I needed that coffee.
Right, now this has got about 15 more minutes left to go and we're going to fry off our
fish but first of all I'm going to put some rice on.
I've got one mug of basmati rice, put that in, with two mugs of boiling water and if
you want to cook more rice the principle's the same.
Twice the amount of water to rice.
You rice will be perfect every time.
A bit of salt, just a pinch.
We need ten cloves.
When it boils, turn it down really, really low cover it with a lid, leave it until the
rice has absorbed all the water and it's ncie and fluffy and loose.
Now we'er poignant to fry the fish, so we're going to need a nice, large non stick pan
because we're not going to use any oil.
We're going to dry fry the fish.
We're going to let that go and let it get really hot.
Now if you love curry a much as I do check out one of my other videos.
It's my recipe, my style chicken curry.
All you've got to do is click the bun.
And now the fish has thoroughly defrosted so we'll try and get as much of the drippy
drippys off.
And straight into the pan.
Right now I know you're going to be tempted to move it around and turn it over and that
stuff.
Leave it alone.
We want it to get really crispy and charred and all lovely on the outside and really soft
on the inside.
Just wash my hands.
In the meantime we've got our curry here, come in and have a look.
See the difference, it's rich, thick, it's gorgoues.
We've got four tablespoons of yoghurt here, I'm only goign to sue half.
And I'm going tos tir that in.
It'll take teh edge off make it a bit more creamier.
Put the lid on the rice.
Maybe two or three minutes on that, two or three minutes on the curry and we're ready
to go!
It's time for the best part, putting it together and putting it on a plate.
Get a fork for fluffy rice.
None of the grains are stuck together, winner, winner!
We've got our fish, crispy and gnarly.
Jamie uses that word all the time.
Get that on top of the rice we;re breaking it up just so it goes that bit further.
Lemon wedges and curry!
It's reduced and got thick and gorgeous.
We';re going to top this off with the last remained bit of the yoghurt.
Some fresh coriander.
SO there you go guys.
Fantastic fish tikka curry.
It's affordable, economical, and most importantly it is delicious.
You're family is going to love it.
