I followed the instructions, but used 1kg of lamb instead of beef.
Marinated overnight with 1 big onion, 6 squeezed cloves, lemon juice, tin of diced tomatoes, the supplied ground spice (30gms) and 2 tabs Vinegar.
The next day I [...]
Cook Basmati Rice in 8 minutes – put half a teaspoon of turmeric and some salt into a saucepan of water and bring to the boil. Add the rice to the boiling water and stir until it stops sticking to the bottom. Start a timer at the first signs of returning to the boil and simmer [...]
ShareI cook my Pappadums in the Microwave . I used to cook them in oil as per the instructions but it uses a lot of oil, which can’t be healthy and there is the added danger of a kitchen fire, especially if you are cooking with an open gas flame.
Cooking Pappadums in the Microwave is an acceptable [...]
This is an excellent curry kit, with fresh ground spices in one sachet and dried herbs and spices in another. I added some yoghurt to the standard recipe, and after eating this meal twice, a week apart, I rate it very highly.
I used 12 ’Chicken Lovely Legs’ from the Woolworths deli - they are much better value than standard [...]

Marinades remains not only Cairns or Qld’s, but Australia’s finest Indian restaurant. It is wonderful to know that each time we go back, the standard of food and service will be superb. My wife and I have both lived in India, [...]

My recent experience using a curry kit where I mentioned that I’m always searching for that ’secret ingredient’, brought unexpected results. Zana from SpiceZ commented on my review and offered me a sample of her SpiceZ Sri Lankan Curry Kit, promising “You will discover the secret ingredient in our product.”
Result -This is the best Lamb Curry I have [...]
My search for Curry Nirvana (http://shed.robhealey.com.au/cooking/curry-nirvana) continues. Yesterday I tried using the ingredients from a Curry Z kit.
Result- disappointing. The kit was at it’s use-by date and not fresh.
After this kit I tried a SpiceZ kit which I now rate as the best I’ve ever tasted – I wrote about that kit at http://shed.robhealey.com.au/cooking/spicez-lamb-curry/
I’ll leave this [...]
Why are curries so addictive?
For me it is the aroma of spices filling up the house, the flavour, the chilli bite, the battle with sweating forehead – it’s a full eating experience.
I enjoy all versions of curry, but Indian Curry is my favourite – nice and hot!
In about 1970 I was introduced to Indian Curries in the [...]

I’ve made it over 50 times and it is always [...]
