Fabulous example of the grape variety, honeyed lime notes dominate. A pure and delicate bouquet of ripe citrus-lime and blossom aromas. Beautifully balanced with intense flavours, lovely juicy length and a zesty lime finish. Great on it's own or with light fresh food. Buy this wine if you like: Expressive white wines with distinctive character.

Description

Official, UK's most popular dish!

Method

  1. 1

    1. Heat the oil in a large karahi. Stir-fry the garlic and the paste for 30 seconds, then add the onion gravy and stir-fry for 2 more minutes.
    2. Add the tomatoes, garam masala and coriander and optional peppers and chillies. Stir-fry for 5 minutes or so, until the oil separates.
    3. Then add the cooked chicken and any spare cooked marinade. Simmer for a further 2 or 3 minutes, adding a little water if it needs it. Salt to taste.
    4. Add the butter and cream and simmer for a few moments more.

Chef's Tips

If you feel it needs it, add one or more of the optional flavourers (the vinegar/lemon juice, the coconut milk and/or cream, brinjal or mango chutney) to taste and serve.
It can be garnished with fresh coriander leaves, toasted almonds and a curl of cream.

Is there a measurement converter on this site somewhere? I'm having a heck of a time converting these measurements to things that actually mean something to me as an American. The dishes look like they will be delightful but I get tired of trying to figure out the math.

Just checked North of England's recipes and can only find one recipe and its not mine! So a little confused.

Good question, not sure why this is under 'North of England dishes'. I shall see if this can be changed. I certainly did not add it to this section! Whilst the story might lean towards the recipe originating from Glasgow, there is still no evidence of this and thus, no one has been able to take this title as yet.

Hi
Could you explain why this dish is in the North of England dishes, if as you say in your story its orgin is Glasgow?
