Curry tip of the week 3
Do you like cooking curry with spinach but hate the chopping? Freeze a bag of baby spinach then while it is still in the bag simply scrunch it up and it will snap into tiny pieces. No chopping needed.

Curry tip of the week 2
To avoid it breaking up when stirring, use a firm fish when cooking a fish curry. Monkfish or cod works well. Even tuna.
Curry tip of the week 1
If you are marinating your chicken then first rub some lemon onto it and let it stand for a few minutes. This will degrease the meat and it will absorb the spices better.
