Tasty recipe, love it! Just a quick note on tinned tomatoes - because San Marzano tomatoes are under a European protected designation of origin, aka D.O.P., any tinned product containing these tomatoes are under strict guidelines and regulations so typically will only ever have 2 ingredients: Whole Peeled San Marzano Tomatoes, San Marzano Tomato Juice. This means there's no Acidity Regulator or any other junk in there! The reason companies use Acidity Regulators in tinned tomatoes is because they make their products with a variety of different tomatoes that are sold to them cheaply in bulk because they aren't suitable for sale fresh to supermarkets, so they need to balance out the different acidity levels across all the different tomatoes they are putting in the tin. Because San Marzano tomatoes are sold under D.O.P., they can only put one type of tomato in the tin (San Marzano obviously), and each tomato has to be of a certain quality standard for it to be put in the tin. This obviously makes the San Marzano tomatoes more expensive than regular supermarket tinned tomatoes, but understanding all of this has allowed me to always have access to good quality tomatoes for all my soups, stews, and curries no matter the seasonality, quality, or price of good fresh tomatoes in my country. Seems stupid to write this all out on a KZfaq comment, but this "hack" has benefitted me greatly over the years and thought someone out there might also benefit if they ever read this. Much love and happy cooking!

I made this last night and it was really delicious. I loved the simplicity and easy to follow steps and the results were amazing. I’ve been cooking for over fifty years and sometimes I find when making a curry it can be time consuming and every spice needs to be dry fried and then blitzed to a powder etc. I was delighted at how much easier and faster you made this with unfailing results. Thanks for the tips at the end, very helpful addition. Your microphone cracks me up as does your sense of humour. Now that I’ve found your channel I can look forward to making more curries without the worries. Many thanks 🙏

Advise for viewers would be that ALWAYS cook meat with bone, especially if it's chicken. The flavour comes from the bone. The breast on its own is just a piece of rubber, might as well not make a curry at all (personal opinion).
@UPGHD22 күн бұрын
Defo. Plus just only breasts is too expensive compared to one medium sized chicken.
@adivarso81755 күн бұрын
Wrong. If you know how to seal the chicken at the beginning using high temp it will never be like rubber...it remains moist. It's a total myth perpetuated by people who cannot cook and have no idea about timing. Ever tried grilled chicken breast? Amazing how it's moist inside ...right? Because the heat seals the outside almost immediately.

Tried this recipe this week. Best curry I’ve had all year. Reminded me of the authentic curry you get in northern India. First time I made it, used the vine tomatoes, second time, used tinned tomatoes. I’d say using the tinned tomatoes is probably more akin to the type of flavour were used to in the uk. I’m confident enough to be able to adjust spices to taste now for friends. Thankful of your videos , suggestion why don’t you set a buy me a coffee account, I’m sure people would be happy enough to donate some well earned cash for your recipes and time and effort, Keep up the good work!!!

Made this today. Since tomatoes not as juicy, added Onions and a bit of a hack … added tomato Ketchup to get the acidity right while cooking. Worked well for me. I also cooked the Tomato and sauté the onions separately and then made it into a paste in a blender and added it while cooking. I did let it slow cook for a slightly longer time. Chicken was quite juicy and the whole dish tasted nice. Thank you brother for sharing this amazing and simple recipe. God bless!

I like onions too but this recipe really doesn't need them. However, if you want, you can fry up some roughly chopped onion in butter/ghee to add at the end. Don't fry it too long, so it still has a bit of crunch & texture. Or you can make a surprisingly nice onion relish by just soaking sliced red onion in lemon juice & a touch of fresh mint for a few hours. This relish is superb with chilli con carne too btw.

I’ve been using the same curry recipe my mate Harshad gave me nearly 30 years ago when this popped up on KZfaq so thought I’d give it a go. Bought loads of new ingredients, followed along with the video and it came out perfect first time! Absolutely delicious, very fresh and full of flavour. I’ve made it again since and it’s definitely the most authentic I’ve ever made. Better and cheaper than my favourite takeaway as well. 2 quick questions: 1. How would you rate this heat wise? Close to a Madras? 2. What chefs pan are you using in the video? I really fancy getting one and trying my way round your other recipes! Great video, very well presented and easy to follow.

I've seen a few complaints about the difficulties of getting good tomatoes in the UK in the comments. A good workaround for this is to buy the best quality tinned tomatoes you can and use them instead. Add them and bring to a simmer and then follow on from when the tomatoes were cooked in the video. If you are worried about the liquid they come in then separate them from the tomato juice however I feel you could add it all and get almost identical results, maybe add some water (use the Tin so you can to add the rest of the tomato juice still in there to the dish too). Tinned tomatoes, when you buy good quality ones, should just be cooked tomatoes in a juice made of blended cooked tomatoes anyway. The good quality ones are usually much better quality than the ones you can buy fresh in the UK and they're always in season. Don't be scared because they're in a tin. 😂
