Curry tip 20
Keema curry is often over-looked. I was once asked, by a waiter, why I was ordering a Keema, as they are for old men with no teeth. Yet, I reckon they deserve a better press. Top yours off with a couple of quail’s eggs halved or a nice big duck’s egg quartered.

Curry tip 17
If you’re cooking up a batch of curry to freeze or making a curry that you’ll reheat to eat later, always remember to under cook the dish(es) by a few minutes. The final bit of the cooking will be completed when you have defrosted and/or reheated the curry. This is especially true if cooking chicken which can go dry very easily.
