Dean said he started eating Pot Noodles - and Pot Rice - about 30 years ago, when he first started working, and would have one or two a week. He really got seriously hooked when he started taking them out on his regular metal detecting tips, and his pals started calling him 'Mr Noodle' or 'Noodle King'. If you don't like coconut milk, you can use yogurt instead. Follow the directions for a coconut milk alternative in the recipe card below. Coconut Milk: This recipe is inspired by a southern Indian style of korma, called Kurma. Adding coconut milk makes it dairy-free too . Make sure to use full-fat coconut milk, not cream of coconut. You will only need about half the can, so store the remainder in an airtight container in the fridge and save for another use. Alternatively, ½ cup of plain full-fat or greek yogurt can be used. He stores his clobber in his office at home, to the dismay of his wife Louise Pugh, 49. “She thinks I’m nuts!” he said. Deep bowls of noodles are a saviour when we need a hit of comfort and are strapped on time. These noodles combine soy, butter, and mushrooms for a slurpy bowl of goodness. Any leftovers can be eaten cold or reheated the next day.

Curry is any dish that uses water as a base. I talk more about it in my Curry Recipe post if you want a better explanation. Will This Recipe Taste Like What I Get in My Local Indian Restaurant? Tomato Puree: I prefer to use fresh Roma tomato and simply puree it in my food processor. If tomatoes are not in season, or they just don't look good at the store that day, you can substitute 1 Tablespoon tomato paste instead. Into a 6-inch pan, add 1 cup rinsed and drained rice, 1 cup water, 1 tablespoon ghee, and 1 teaspoon salt.As is typical for most popular Indian curries, regional and personal influences are huge, which is why you see so many variations of Korma. In the north, commonly a nut paste or yogurt is used in the curry, and southern inspired recipes use coconut milk or cream. Depends on where the cook is from, whether they're trying to skimp on ingredients, whether, whether, whether.

Vegetable Korma: I'd actually cook the sauce and the veggies separately. Add 1/4 cup water to the sauce and cook as directed. Meanwhile, steam vegetables in the microwave or stovetop. Use a combination of cauliflower, green beans, and green peas to make an Instant Pot Vegetable Korma. There is no real way to describe the taste - you’d have to try one yourself! My friend said 'try the juice’ as a joke, and next thing you know we were nearly throwing up everywhere. This recipe has been tested in a 3qt & 6 qt Instant Pot and Mealthy Multipot. If using an 8qt, add an additional ½ cup liquid to meet the minimum liquid requirement. After pressure cooking, saute a few minutes to reduce the sauce to your preference. This pie combines that comforting home-cooked dish of chilli con carne with mounds of sweet potato mash. It can be made with beef mince, or can be easily adapted for a veggie/vegan alternative. You can use yogurt instead of coconut milk in this recipe, add that AFTER pressure cooking though. Here's how:They’re all unopened - I’ve found out what it tastes like to eat a bad one and believe me it's not very nice!” he said. Step 2: Pour the sauce into your Instant Po t or another electric pressure cooker. Add water to the blender and wash out that blender to get the last bit of goodness out of there. Pour that water into the sauce. There is also a common assumption that korma and tikka masala are pretty much the same. This article offers a detailed explanation of the distinction between Indian dishes, but to break down the two main ones: This question is like asking me if my meatloaf recipe will taste just like what your mother makes. Maybe? Turn the Instant Pot on to Saute HIGH. Cook the onions and green chili for 2 minutes, then add the garlic, ginger, ½ teaspoon salt and saute another minute. (pic 1 & 2)

Step 1: Start by placing onions, tomatoes, serrano peppers, ginger, garlic, cashews, and all the spices in a blender. This is the blender I use. The good news is, you can have a delicious dinner at half the price, and probably faster than you could make it to the restaurant too. What Is Korma Sauce? Flexible. Make it in the Instant Pot when you're in a hurry, or use your slow cooker for a long, slow, and perfect korma. It makes it a lot easier to understand what the difference in the two is when you understand they're both the same thing.

Dean goes out with his Anglo Celtic Metal Detecting group twice a week, but he also takes them to have for lunch when working at his covings and cornices business. He uses the washed out left over pots to pour plaster at work and limits himself to eating one Pot Noodle a day as to not “overdo things”. Control over ingredients. For those with nut allergies, kormas invariably have nuts. Making it at home allows you to control what goes into your homemade korma. At first they didn’t smell too bad but once we started getting the taste... you’ll see me vomiting! You don’t normally do that with a Pot Noodle! If you want a make-ahead meal, I've included the instructions for making it in the slow cooker below.

Heat one tablespoon of the butter in a frying pan with a small glug of oil. When foaming, add the mushrooms and fry over a medium heat for five minutes or until beginning to turn golden brown. Add the spring onions, pak choi and garlic and cook for three minutes. Korma, as we discussed, is a cream, yogurt or nut-based sauce, which is what gives this dish it's iconic rich sauce. When I saw the fourteen year old Pot Noodles I laughed, an added bonus to my collection!” Dean said. The expired Beef and Tomato noodles inspired Dean and two fellow detectorists to raise money for six-year-old Hadley Jae Werrett who has Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome. If making cumin rice, rinse and soak for 15 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients and start the sauce.Cumin Rice: The classic side dish that soaks up all those wonderful juices. Bonus tips for making basmati rice perfect every time: Aromatics: Along with garlic and ginger, I like to add onions and green chili (either serrano or jalapeno will do). De-seed chili for milder flavor. Kashmiri chili powder is made from a vibrantly red chili that is mild in spice and full-flavored (so think more of a warm chili flavor rather than spicy). It's very popular in Indian cuisine and it imparts more color than it does heat. The beauty of korma is its velvety smooth sauce which is accomplished by adding yogurt, cream or a nut paste, usually made from cashews or almonds. All you need is a few readily available ingredients, including onions, garlic, ginger, fresh pureed tomato, coconut milk, turmeric, Kashmiri chili powder, garam masala and ground coriander. All are gluten-free and dairy-free.
