Here's the recipe for the awesome, tasty, blows your head clean off ILikeJam curry sauce.
Should be enough to put 4 idiots into respiratory arrest.
You'll need:
- 80g ginger
- 6 green chillies
- 3 bird-eye chillies
- 4 fat cloves of garlic
- A tin of peeled plum tomatoes
- A fat onion
- 4 tbsp ground nut oil
- 2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp chilli powder
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 tsp turmeric
- 2 tsp garam masala
- 1 1/2 tbsp tomato puree
Shove the ginger, all the chillies (seeds included - no messing about) and garlic in a blender and blend to a paste. Transfer that dangerous shit into a bowl before it dissolves the blender blades.
Drain the tinned tomatoes and stick them in the blender. Give the button a few hits - you want a bit of texture left. Put the resulting slop in the bowl with the previously blended stuff.
Chop your onion.
Grab a pot and throw in the chopped onion and oil. Fry those tasty bits of onion fairly slowly 'til they're soft. Chuck the cumin in and stir, then give it a bit more frying time.
Add the chillies/tomato/etc to the onion and stir until it's venting noxious fumes. Keep stirring and add the salt, chilli powder, cayenne, turmeric and garam masala, then the tomato puree.
Stir some more.
Turn the heat down and keep the concoction simmering until you get bored or the anti-terror squad come round looking for a chemical weapons factory - the longer it simmers the better it gets. Add water if/when it dries out.
Turn the heat off and let that nonsense chill out for a while. Once it's safe(r) to handle, spoon it into freezer bags and freeze it. You can use it straight away if you want, but it's maybe 20% more panic-inducing after it's been frozen. So do that.
To unleash the fear, defrost the sauce and chuck in some chunks of chicken breast. Simmer for 15 minutes or so. If you're feeling particularly hardcore, finely slice another couple of bird-eye chillies and throw those bad boys in there.
Serve with rice and a well rehearsed safety briefing.
