Wolfeymole's Finest Turkey Madras

[Wolfeymole]

Seeing as this is the General Forum I thought I might share with you my recipe for an absolutely wicked curry.

Thus:

Turkey Madras

Get your favourite wench to throw this together or just do it yourself.

Ingredients:
4 Good size turkey breast fillets.
6 cloves of garlic (well crushed and finely chopped)
4 large onions.
4 tbls of vinegar.
4 tbls of good soy sauce (Kikkomans or Blue Dragon)
2 tbls sun dried tomato puree.
2 tins plum (not chopped as they contain all the crap) tomato's chopped.
1/2 pound of mushrooms.
5 tspns good quality curry powder (preferably from an asian shop)
2 tspns chilli powder
4 birds eye chilli's chopped (or scotch bonnet if you want it to blow your head off)
3 tspns sugar
3 good sized spuds cut into ½” cubes.
4 tbls of sunflower oil.

Method:
Remove the membranes that run down the middle of the turkey fillets and cut into 1" chunks.
Combine the turkey pieces with 2 cloves of crushed garlic, 1 tbls of vinegar, 1 tbls oil, 1 tspn of curry powder, 1 tbls soy sauce and marinade for at least 24 hours.

I use a large wok but you can use a large frying pan, bear in mind the ingredients will be enough for 2 people for 2 days.

Chop the onions and chilli's and fry with the garlic together with 2 tbls of soy, 2 tbls vinegar and 1 tbls oil until tender then transfer to another pan for a bit.

The Roux
Combine the curry powder, chilli powder, tomato puree, sugar, remaining vinegar, soy and oil then fry for about 15 minutes on a low to medium heat, Add water if the roux thickens.

Finally
Add the onion/garlic mixture back to the wok together with the tinned tomato's, mushrooms and add the potatoe's.
Fry for about 15 minutes on a medium heat then fill the wok/pan with water, bring to the boil then simmer until the desired thickness is reached.
As we know Turkey/Chicken doesn't take 2 minutes to cook so I usually add the turkey after about 4 hours of simmering.
Usual cooking time is roughly 5 hours, this may seem like a long time but nothing that tastes good is rushed.

Hi Wolfey,
Sounds like a real treat, i take it that the Turkey can be substituted for any other meat???

As i grow some of the hottest chillies around, i will,,, i'm sure enjoy such a mild dish.

I don't think you can beat a good "Hot" curry, however, not the things i would say first thing in the morning after visiting the Toilet

The above said, i am on the oh's case, to get it on the go, soon as,
thanks for sharing,,,,cheers paul.

If one were to use a red meat variation it would need to be put in earlier.

If one were to use Chicken then it needs to be put in later as it is not as robust as say Turkey or Beef, Lamb etc and will fall apart before you know it leaving a stringy mess in the sauce.

All need to be marinaded for the same amount of time and in fact 48 hours is not remiss.
