I’ve included recipe for red wine vinegar which is so much cheaper than to buy.
Just scroll to bottom of page here https://winningrecipesblog.wordpress.com/...
Optional additions which you may include are: 11 ml coriander - 3 cardamom
pods - 33 ml fennel which you may roast and add just before serving otherwise
fennel overcooked looses it’s lovely flavor. I never added it but I was tempted
but declined as it would’ve become a similar curry to the one I already have
(Tony's). The following day the curry tasted even more delish. I found that by
adding tomatoes and potatoes to this type of curry were very necessary as
personally I don’t like a dry curry.

Method:
1. Roast all the dry spices. To ensure none of the dry spices are under roasted, roast
them individually, because each of them has their own burning point. Roasting is
going to give you that robust flavor for the curry. Over a low flame add the dried
chillies, moving around whilst shaking the pan so that the heat gets distributed
evenly.
Spices are done roasting when you can smell it and you want to take it off immediately because it continues cooking in it's own heat. Cool and add it to coffee grinder.
Add poppy seeds, shaking pan around to make sure each grain gets a nice toasty
brown and just when it browns, add to grinder.
Add cumin seeds to pan, shaking to spread evenly over the pan so
each grain gets heated. As soon as you can smell the flavor it is done. Add toasted cumin to grinder.
each grain gets heated. As soon as you can smell the flavor it is done. Add toasted cumin to grinder.
Heat peppercorns and cloves next as
they both cook at the same rate and you will notice the surface of the peppercorns will
be a little bit shiny and cloves a slight bit browner and will smell lovely. Add to
grinder. Switch off the heat and now quickly add the turmeric to the hot pan because
turmeric needs about a minute, otherwise it burns quickly. Add to grinder. Grind the
roasted dry spices coarsely. Coarsely will just add a little more texture to your chicken.
Now your wet Masala is done and we will now rub it into our chicken with the dry
mixture. Before rubbing into chicken, slash the chicken diagonally for the marinade to penetrate and coat your palms with oil to prevent the chilies from burning your hands.
To your chicken in a bowl, add all of your dry Masala followed by all of your wet
Masala and give it all a good mix working it in with your hands. Cover and leave
chicken to marinate for an hour. You may do this overnight for better flavour but
1 hour for chicken is usually enough to do the trick. When you make it with mutton or
duck you have to leave it overnight to marinate.
Prepare the marinade:
To a food processor in the following order, add your tamarind followed by the vinegar,
the garlic and ginger topped by your fresh red chilies. Blitz all until a smooth paste.
Preparing your curry:
Heat a deep saucepan on a medium flame. Add 60ml vegetable oil to pan. As soon
as oil is heated, add the black mustard seeds to the oil and stir well. Cover the pan with
lid to allow the seeds to pop. As soon as you hear that popping sound you will know
that it's done. Carefully open the lid and add the cinnamon sticks, giving it a quick stir,
add the finely chopped onions and stir well. Cover with lid and allow to gently saute
until onions become translucent. As soon as onions are done, add in the chicken pieces
one by one to the cooked onions. Wash out food processor and marination bowl with
given amounts of water in recipe and add this to your pot. Give pot a quick stir just to
make sure your Masala marinade is evenly spread. Cover the pan with the lid and turn
the flame up slightly and let the chicken cook for about 15 - 20 minutes. Add the salt
and jaggery (a little sugar) together with the curry leaves and give it a quick stir. So
that the seasoning get a chance to spread evenly throughout. Cover pan with lid and let
the chicken cook over a low flame for another 5 - 7 minutes. Serve hot with pav bread
and or steamed rice.
