Chinese Curry Sauce

Chinese Curry Sauce

Obviously most folk would just go to a takeaway and buy a tub of Chinese Curry Sauce. But that’s not an option for Sue as it invariably contains Gluten. So last night we had a bit of a Special Fried Rice gig and Sue cobbled this together to go with it. I’d challenge anybody to tell it apart from the plastic tub version!

Ingredients:-

4 Tsp of Cornflour
1 Tsp of Curry Powder
½ Tsp of Chinese five Spice
¼ Tsp of Ground Ginger
¼ Tsp of Garlic Powder
2 Tsp of Gluten free Soy Sauce
2 Tsp of Chilli Sauce
240Ml of Vegetable Stock
1 Tbsp of Butter / Margarine
1 Tsp of Lemon Juice

Method:-

(1) Mix half of the Cornflour with the dry spices in a bowl.
(2) Melt the Margarine in a pan and add the Cornflour mix.
(3) Keep stirring over a low heat to create a roué.
(4) Slowly add the Stock stirring all the time.
(5) Add a little of the Stock to the remaining Cornflour in a jug and stir well.
(6) Add this to the pan along with the Lemon Juice, Soy Sauce and Chilli Sauce and cook gently until thickened.

I know I’m pretty disgusting, but I had some of the, now set, sauce with the left over Special Fried Rice for breakfast this morning!

1 Green Chilli, finely chopped
1 Tsp of Ground Cumin
1 Tsp of Ground Coriander,
1 Tbsp of Coriander Leaves, finely chopped
1 Tsp of Chilli Powder
1 Tsp of Fenugreek
½ Tsp of Turmeric
Salt & Pepper to season

Ingredients for the batter:-

70g of Gram Flour
3 Tbsp of Rice Flour
1 Tsp of Paprika
½ Tsp of Turmeric
½ Tsp of Garlic Salt
Soda Water
Salt & Pepper to season
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Place the cubed Chicken in a bowl and add the Ginger, Garlic, Green Chillies, Cumin, Ground Coriander, Coriander leaves, Chilli Powder, Fenugreek, Salt & Pepper.
(2) Mix to coat and cover the bowl with click film.
(3) Place in the fridge to marinade for at least 30 minutes.
(4) Remove from the fridge and add the dry batter ingredients.
(5) Add the Soda Water a little at a time to form a think batter.

We love Onion Bhaji and using Gram Flour as the base for this batter means these has a very similar texture when cooked. Oh and they tasted pretty good as well!
