 Handy cooking tips

  1. Cook the ingredients in stages to ensure they are all cooked to perfection. For example, cook the meat first before adding the vegetables.
  2. Let the curry simmer for a while to allow the flavours to meld together. This will result in a richer and more complex taste.
  3. Use fresh ingredients like ginger, garlic, and onion can make a big difference in the taste of your curry.
  4. Cook your onions well,  Cooking them until they are caramelized can add sweetness and depth to your curry.
Why use full fat cream rather than low-fat?

Full fat cream is better than low fat cream in curries because it provides a richer, creamier texture and flavour. The fat content in full fat cream helps to balance out the spices and other flavours in the curry, resulting in a more well-rounded dish. Additionally, low fat cream can sometimes curdle or separate when heated, while full fat cream maintains its consistency.
