Al's Kitchen - Curry Recipies

Tried a new curry option from Tesco today and it was better than expected 👀 and not too much faffing 🤔

Supermarket spices have come on a lot in recent years. They used to come out of the jar stale and tasteless but they're a lot better now. And there's more range. I still struggle to find curry leaves, lemongrass or cardamom in Tesco etc that actually taste of anything. I use Grape Tree quite a lot for spices now. Seem to be fresher and ounce for ounce they're cheaper than the supermarkets.

I'm not well up on Indian curries. I tend to go more in a Thai direction. Do like a chicken dahl though. A doddle to make and ideal for my work food flask.
 
Ready ground spices lose a lot of there flavour soon as they are opened. The little supermarket jars are also expensive
I buy whole spices and use a coffee grinder bought from Lidl.
Its the only advantage of living near to Asian populations the availability of spices
