Making a curry for dinner tonight, to a recipe in a book that I’ve been meaning to try for a while.

Trouble is, I didn’t do the thing where you actually look at how long things are supposed to take.

1.5 hours for step one, then add other ingredients and simmer for an hour. Then blend up and simmer for another hour.

I started it at 7pm. Fuck that.

So we’ll see how it goes…

@DJDarren got one of those “intelligent” pressure cookers, and by god, it makes for remarkably fast curries that still taste fine.

Quietly confident. It smells great.

To be fair, the original recipe is for 8x a base broth, the idea being that you batch cook it and freeze the rest. I’m making 1x the broth, so it doesn’t need so long, right?

Right.

Yep, that recipe worked for me. Top stuff.

@DJDarren Is it the kind of base gravy that's basically a spiced onion/veg smoothie?

@heapy Yeah, essentially that.

Turned out really nice, so I’m happy with that.

@DJDarren Lovely stuff, enjoy!

I've got it down to half an hour now for making small amounts - 2 chopped onions, half a grated carrot and half a pepper into a frying pan and then fry on low until softened. Chuck the spices in with just enough oil to stop them burning for the last 10 mins and then blitz. Feels like cheating but works great when I'm short on time after work.
