We'd love to get the Harry Bikers' food tour of the British Isles on DVD, but as far as I can tell it hasn't been released yet.<br /><br />Starman, Evelyn, :-)Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-10461454784665992562013-09-29T22:22:55.196+02:002013-09-29T22:22:55.196+02:00Great stuff Ken, cant beat a curry on a Friday nig...Great stuff Ken, cant beat a curry on a Friday night! in the UK we often get tomato chunks in our curry and many of the sauces are made using tomato paste. A good tip for the sauce is to sweat the onions ginger and garlic then add the spices and chilli etc. and fry for a couple of mins or so before adding some tomato paste or a couple of toms. Next use a stick blender to turn it into a thick paste and set aside - make a batch and jar or freeze some. Then you can use it to flavour and thicken......<br />For the real way to do it see the Hairy Bikers curry book...<br /><br />Its always a pleasure cooking for you guys...you seem to appreciate it even when it doesn't quite turn out like the picture!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />Nick NickLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10597310462094749435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-36372413702513408082013-09-29T19:02:14.406+02:002013-09-29T19:02:14.406+02:00OK, drooling here in California....OK, drooling here in California....C in Californiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11797701714608179842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-75195983811649299192013-09-29T16:47:18.055+02:002013-09-29T16:47:18.055+02:00Yumm :) These descriptions are very enticing, and ...Yumm :) These descriptions are very enticing, and now I'm in the mood for a coconut milk based something.
