I have looked in all the cookery sites i know of to find an old fashioned
curry recipe that my mum used to make, with apple,sultanas, plum jam etc.
but cannot find one, :'( can anyone help? .
thanking you nan.
You seem to have set out the recipe? But not Indian!! My Wife likes that one.
Can only refer you to the real thing - mamta's kitchen.
Interesting site
I also like this mammoth site for indian food. I learn a couple of good cooking tips from these recipes.

Or you could just have Prawn Curry with Saag Aloo & Cucumber Raita??
Tim and pigeonseed, both answers much appreciated, have had a very quick look at recipes,now it's which one1st. :-\ Tim i'm drooling!
Without saying that Indianfood is not a personal site, Mamta's is - she is a retired Pharmacist with a very real Indian family.
Good luck!
And while here - may I mention Pappadums/Papads? All that I've had in 'Indian' restaurants have been small dried up microwaved (for convenience) things with a rather bitter taste.
May I urge you to try Lijjats - in various flavours - &, although they say cook any way, truly the best are fried 3-4 secs on each side in 1/8in oil - turn with tongs - & then stacked vertically to drain dry.
A different kettle of fish!
Tim, it is years since I have seen those, where do you buy them? :)
Used to be everywhere 20 years ago, Wendy - but the only one I could find recently was.............

ooh tim marry me please yes i know im already married and to a chef but your food always looks so good too!!!
I get those when i go to Brum! They are soooo much better than pappadums. Love curry, going to have prawn curry tomorrow now instead of planned chilli.
what's a good recipe for prawn curry then?
I learnt north indian food from friends and then veg food from genteel south indian cook book
I've never tried making fish curries.
All depends? Not a lot different from any other. But what sort of flavour do you like? Just thoughts.......
1. Fish - cut thick - needs only 10 min, basted, on top of the sauce. Cooked Prawns only need to marinade & heat through.
2. As a sauce, I like Galangal, Turmeric, Coconut milk, Cashews, Chillies, Lime or Lemon, Cherry Tomatoes, Shallots.
3. I prefer Tiger Prawns (from an approved supplier), cut to size if you like, rather than shrivelled Atlantic ones.
Emmy - remember that Papads & Poppadums are one & the same? Although some sites give them different treatment!
Just a thought - I feel that 'authenticity' often boils down to :
1. Indian - asafoetida.
2. English - fenugreek.
Tim, I ordered my papad and curry paste at nearly midnight on Tuesday and it is here already, I am most impressed and really excited... ;) Thank you!
