Been making Curry for a long time, sometimes leftover meat, sometimes fresh. If leftover, brown it, if fresh, cook and brown - either case in a little oil. Remove meat from the pan, add large onion chopped. Cook till translucent, add a TBS of Curry powder. Stir till everything is curry colored and fragrant. Add a heaping TBS of flour and stir, then two cups of chicken broth - you may need more liquid. Now the old, easy / expensive version takes a whole jar of Major Gray's Chutney. I use half a jar of peach jam and a handful of Raisins. Comes out about the same. When the sauce has thickened, add the meat. Simmer till sauce is thick and meat tender. Serve on rice, with Naan and tropical fruit. If you are in the urban areas, fresh fruit - out here Dole Topical. I add the juice from the fruit to the curry along the way. As to the Curry Powder, I've tried a lot but keep coming back to Madras Curry Powder. You probably won't find it in in your store, but can get it on line. How much curry powder is a matter of taste - you can also add a pinch of saffron.
Looks like a wonderful dish plated

Thanks - ex the plating, goop in a pot or pan. Pretty good, though. Been using the recipe for years.

The Wife has been wanting me to do a bit of Curry cookin' lately. I just showed her this set of pics.... she got REAL excited when the can of Curry powder showed up!! "That's exactly the
SAME Curry powder that we use!! What's the holdup here??"...she exclaimed.
No excuse now.
Excellent series and writeup here, quixdraw! Thanks a lot.....

Thanks! Glad you / she liked it! You can use just about any kind of meat that isn't highly spiced - leftover Roast Beef used to be the British standard. I've used leg of Lamb (not if seasoned with rosemary), Chicken, Pork, etc. There are even seafood curries. Great little book, Curries by Susanna Tee. Might be worth getting a bottle of Major Gray's to establish an initial flavor profile for a simple curry.
Nice shots quixdraw. Nobody in the house would eat Curry except me so I will never make it but it sure sounds and looks good
Good photos and a recipe worth trying, QD.

Thanks! Not a bad recipe, easy. Got to please the customers!
Great shot. I am not a big fan of curry but looks delicious.

Thanks! Every so often a nice change of flavor, and easy. Often I'll finish it for a long time on a freestanding induction burner, you don't have to watch the liquid as carefully and it is more tender.

Thank you very much! This is my only Indian Dish. Not a cuisine that appeals to me much, can't say why.
