Take Away night

When I met Danny I was introduced to various new and wonderful things. Most obviously being the  beautiful differences in our cultures, as well as in our diets. My favourite dish I was introduced to being Char Siu Fan :9 

Food Heaven! *Drools*

I also got introduced to new items on a Chinese take-away menu... 

Pre-Danny, all my family and I ever ordered from our favourite local take-away (incidentally, not the one that Danny's family owned at the time... Oops! Still haven't lived that one down :/ ) was egg fried rice, chips and chicken curry.

I now know the delights of sweet and sour chicken/pork, crispy shredded beef, beef in black bean sauce, banana fritters, etc...

But still there are the times when all I want is Chicken curry, just like Mr Chan would have made in Willow house (sorry Danny, but you know its true!)

So, for a number of years I've been attempting to figure out the recipe...

And well, I am please to announce I've cracked it! (more or less)

INTRODUCING...

Just add water!

Available from all good supermarkets, aka Alfreton Tesco's, in the foreign foods section :D

I know its a bit of a cop out, but it really is good, and fast too! To be honest I did get quite close to cracking it myself... and then I found this... and that was the end of the grinding up and mixing my own spices! Maybe someday I'll return to my quest... 

Until then...

Voila! 

And quicker than ordering it by phone!

Hmmm, I'm feeling hungry all of a sudden...
