Authentic Curry Recipes

Question by Mitsuye Kitayori: Question about Indian Takeaway’s “traditional chicken curry”?
Hiya.. I am a really picky eater and I’d eat typical British food forever if I had the chance… but my friends keep trying to make me order stuff that is not on the ‘english dish’ menu at the takeaways we go to..
So we’re having an Indian tonight and last time I had a chicken tikkah masala but it wasn’t spicy at all and a bit ‘creamy’ for me.. and I don’t like the sound of anything else.. the tikkah was very adventurous for me lol.. Anywho I do like chicken curry from the chinese takeaway but this is an Indian so I guess it’s different. I also like the chicken currys you get from the supermarket.. you know the microwaveable stuff that you really shouldn’t eat… so should I get the chicken curry or just have chips and english style chicken lol usual lol ?
Lol.. ok thats not what I asked Mark. I had the tikkah masala last time but this time I want to try what is listed on the menu as ‘Traditional Chicken Curry’ the tikkah is completely another thing on the menu

Answer by Mark
“Chicken Tikka Masala” is NOT an Indian dish, it was invented by Pakistanis at an Indian restaurant (allegedly in Glasgow). It is a British or Scottish dish. I kid you not!

Fry the chicken first and leave to the side. Then fry onions than mushrooms. Put the cooked chicken in at the end.. At least that is how I do it. Good Luck.
P.s I would sneak in some garlic and chili aswell.

This is to be served cold, so no recipes for things that will taste bad when cooled. Thank you

Preferably one you have used and enjoyed yourself at home!
