Saturday 30th October - porridge, beef madras, garlic cumin rice

Breakfast - porridge

Dinner - made a beef madras (converted from the Coles Curtis Stone Chicken madras recipe with a few alterations - will post the recipe tomorrow (it's rather late here due to girls being out a party and can't be bothered typing it up).
Served with garlic cumin rice - as per Bron's garlic rice recipe (on the Thermomix forum) but with cumin added at the beginning as well and used basmati rice so cooked for 16 mins.
Was really yum!


Recipe added:

Madras (from the Coles Curtis Stone recipe)

30g olive oil

1 onion

1 cinnamon stick

2 cm ginger

4 cloves garlic

8 curry leaves

Add chicken, cinnamon, curry leaves and tomatoes and cook 15 mins 100° reverse, speed 1

Add coconut milk/milk/yoghurt and cook for a further 2 mins 100° reverse sp 1.

For Beef – cook 45 mins 100° reverse speed 1 and add a cup of water.

I didn't quite have the same ingredients so used

fenugreek (1tsp) and cumin seeds (2tsp) in step 1. (for some reason I didn't have coriander seeds)

onion, garlic, ginger as above

added tsp curry powder, 2 tsp garam masala, turmeric, 1/2 tsp cayenne

And I used beef (cooking longer with 1 cup of water)

This was so nice.
