I actually made my sauce a bit in advance and marinated the turkey meat in it, prior to heating it up to full whack again later on. Added bonus - this allowed me the opportunity to photograph it without being in too much of a hurry!Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-68078056755580401982011-12-31T13:24:16.862+00:002011-12-31T13:24:16.862+00:00I think the secret of making a curry with cooked m...I think the secret of making a curry with cooked meat is to get it so that the meat absorbs the flavours. Otherwise it is just cold meat with a sauce.

Curry is hard to describe, because there so many different variations, but they all involve fragrant spices, and many also use hot spices (especially chilli). Our connections over the centuries with India have meant that curry is very much part of British culture these days, and we eat it a lot. Imagine Cajun, but hotter and spicier, maybe...<br />Google the term "garam masala" and see what comes up.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-57086130492676851232011-12-30T21:19:38.644+00:002011-12-30T21:19:38.644+00:00I have never eaten curry of any kind, I'm real...I have never eaten curry of any kind, I'm really not sure what it is but I do eventually intend to find out .I have never heard of almost everything you put in that second dish but the third dish I think I might like.

I had a bit of a cooking frenzy on boxing day making turkey stock, turkey and sweet leek pie, turkey curry and a beef madras. Fortunately we had a few people over the day after to help us eat it all.
