Try using this as a deliciously rich curry base for leftovers. It will be great for turkey or a selection of vegetables.![]()
Note if the turkey or vegetables are cooked, please pop them into the sauce to warm through once the sauce is cooked and BEFORE the finishers go in.![]()
![]()
If the main ingredients are raw, pop them into the cooked sauce, again before the finishers and allow to simmer until cooked through.![]()
![]()
For the Curry sauce![]()
2 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp of oil![]()
1 inch ginger, peeled and finely grated![]()
2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely grated ![]()
2 tablespoons of cashews or almonds ![]()
250ml passata ![]()

chilli flakes, garam masala, sugar and salt.![]()
![]()
To Finish: 50ml double cream, fresh coriander, fresh lemon or lime, and another big knob of butter (it is Christmas)![]()

Make your Curry Sauce![]()
Start by soaking the nuts in a little boiling water to soften them and then either grind them using a pestle and mortar or a food processor.![]()
![]()
Gently fry grated ginger and garlic in a pan on a low heat with oil and butter for 5 minutes, add the curry masala spices with the nut paste and cook on a medium heat, keep stirring until oil bubbles float to the top. It should take about five minutes.![]()
![]()
Pour the passata into the sauce, bring to the boil, simmer until you have a golden, glossy sauce for about 10 minutes.![]()
If the pan dries at any time, please add 2 tablespoons of water so the spices don’t burn.![]()

Add the Main curry ingredients into the sauce and seal them into the sauce until oil bubbles appear, simmer until the base is cooked or warmed through.![]()
