FLAVOuRS OF The FeSTIVALIn 2010, we celebrated 200 years of curry in Britain. Since Sake Dean Mahomed opened the hindoostane Coffee house (the first official curry house) in central London, in 1810, the curry industry in this country has exploded.
Today it is worth an estimated £4bn a year, and there are more than 10,000 curry houses across the land. Curry appeals to all sections of society, and is often referred to as the nation’s favourite dish.
Our aim is to bring you curry from across the globe – not just the UK and the Indian sub-continent. We are on a mission to seek out talent and tastes from Africa, the
Americas, Europe, the Middle East, the Far East and Australia.
What’s so special about curry – where ever it is from – is that it reflects a myriad of countries, cultures, ingredients and flavours from around the world. So whether it’s a Great British curry, a Malaysian fusion dish, a Caribbean classic, or an Indian banquet … there’s always a story to tell.

18 WORLD CuRRY FeSTIVAL 2013
CheF MuSA'S eSSenTIAL InGReDIenTS
The exciting thing about Malaysian cooking is all the ingredients and their flavours and aromas. However some of the ingredients used are less well-known to many people in the UK, so I thought I would illustrate them.
In most British cities like Manchester and London you can pick up the ingredients in specialist oriental and South Asian grocery stores, and increasingly in the ‘world foods’ aisles of major supermarkets. In Malaysia, of course, you can find these ingredients much more easily.
You might wonder why I blend many of the more familiar ingredients like garlic, ginger and onion. This is because the blended ingredients mix well with the sauces, resulting in a richer flavour.
For cooking oil, I use vegetable oil but you can also use corn or sunflower. The strong flavour of olive oil, however, is not suitable as it will be overpowering. And if you like your food very spicy, just add more chillies.
Galangal – This herb is of the same family as ginger. The aroma and flavour is very pungent and citrusy. You only need to use a bit in a recipe otherwise the dish will turn
slightly bitter. 100g of fresh galangal peeled and blended with 100ml of water can produce up to 10 tablespoons of paste. In the UK you can find it in the chiller cabinet of oriental grocery stores.
Tamarind – Malaysians use a lot of tamarind juice in cooking, as an alternative to lime or lemon juice. It gives the same effect. Tamarind is like a sour plum, of which the pulp is edible (when
ripened). Soak the tamarind pulp in boiled water for 5 minutes before using it. If the recipe only requires a few tablespoons of the juice, just soak a couple of pinches of tamarind pulp.
www.worldcurryfestival.com
19
Lemongrass – This is one of my favourite herbs. The refreshing fragrance makes recipes smell so fresh and aromatic. Four stalks of lemongrass blended with 150ml water can give up to
10 tablespoons paste. Having cut off the tip, use the bottom half of a lemongrass stalk, chopping it into small pieces before blending it with the water.
Fragrant Screwpine – Pandan leaves are from the “Screwpine Tree”, and are widely used in South East Asian cooking. Their distinctive, slightly nutty aroma adds a delicate scent to rice and
added flavour to curries. In Malaysia, their extracted juice is a natural green colouring used for colouring in desserts. Tied in a knot, a leaf can also be used to brush oil in a pan.
Dark Coconut Block Sugar – This type of sugar comes in blocks or discs, but is different from palm sugar which is widely available in oriental shops in the UK. The sweetness is
more intense compared to granulated white sugar. Malaysians use a lot of coconut block sugar for their desserts. I also choose to use it in my beef rendang as it gives an extra darkness to the gravy.
Curry Leaves – Curry leaves originate from India, and consequently are a typical ingredient in Indian style Malaysian dishes. Buying fresh ones is best. In the UK you can normally buy them in Asian
grocery stores and markets. In Manchester, we have a so-called Curry Mile where you can pick them up. If you cannot get hold of them, you can use dried ones but soak them first in boiling water to soften them.
Whole Mixed Herbs – Whole mixed herbs and seeds are available in many South Asian grocery stores here in Manchester. They come in a packet containing a mixture
of black mustard seeds, fenugreek and cumin seeds. I use them in my fish curry. In Malaysia I love getting these from the specialist spice stall at the local market.
Coconut Milk – There are many files available in the UK, but the best brand in my opinion is Chaokoh, produced in Thailand. It’s very creamy and not watery compared
to other brands you might pick up in a British supermarket. In Malaysia you can buy fresh coconut milk, which is even better.
Shrimp Paste – Belacan is popular throughout South East Asia, made from fermented ground shrimps, which are then sun-dried and formed into slaps like cheese or pate. These days
you can widely buy it in jars. Malaysians use the paste to enhance the flavour, though the smell can really put some Western people off.
Dried chilli paste – Dried chillies are used a lot in Malaysian cooking. The colour is a rich, gorgeous crimson compared to using fresh chillies, and the flavour sweeter and
more intense than sharp. Twenty dried chillies with 150ml of water can give up to 10 tbl spoons of chilli paste.

POeMPADOMS & SPICe STORIeSThe celebrated Ian McMillan @IMcMillan, Yorkshire poet, comedian and broadcaster, helped us to launch the Festival this year, with a recital of Curry World, a poem he had written especially for us!
CURRY WORLDIt’s history and culture on a plate,It’s diversity served with riceYou can eat it early or lateAnd it’s never the same thing twice;Because curry is an endless delightAn old dance of flavour and spice,A new experience night after nightAnd it’s never the same thing twiceAnd the world should run on curryNow wouldn’t that really be niceAlthough you might have to move in a hurryBecause it’s never the same thing twiceAnd the globe should turn and spinOn curry. Take my advice:Live in a world that’s got curry inAnd it’ll never be the same world twice!

Zulfi Karim, Festival Director
hOT OFF The PReSSInspired by Ian’s creativity (it was Ian, after all, who coined the phrase ‘poempadoms’) and the spirit of the festival, we’ve launched a writing competition for young people. We’re asking schools across the country to get involved and encourage children to create a ‘poempadom’ (poem) or ‘spice story’ (short story) about food, cooking and flavours. See www .worldcurryfestival .com for more details. We’re pleased to say Ian has agreed to be one of the judges!
Ian McMillan As well as being poet-in-residence for The Academy of Urbanism and Barnsley FC, Ian’s previous experience includes a whole host of exciting ventures including resident poet for English National Opera, UK Trade
and Investment Poet, Yorkshire TV’s Investigative Poet and even Humberside Police’s Beat Poet.
He presents The Verb every week on BBC R3 and is a regular on Coast, Pick of the Week, You and Yours, Last Word and The Arts Show. He was recently castaway on Desert Island Discs. Interestingly cats make him sneeze! Carol Ann Duffy describes him as ‘world-class – one of today’s greatest poetry performers’.

GROWInG ALL ThInGS SPICeCommunity is always an important focus for the World Curry Festival team, and during the past year we’ve been working closely PRISM Youth Project, encouraging young people to get involved in growing produce.
Despite the long, cold winter, the students have nurtured a fantastic green crop, including salad onions, coriander, rosemary, lemon balm, sage, mint, bay leaves, thyme, rocket, oak leaf lettuce, pak choi, potatoes and rhubarb.
Some of the fresh produce will be used by our chefs during their cookery demonstrations, and will be eaten by guests at our Finale
Dinner. A big thank you goes to the PRISM Youth Project, a wonderful supporter of
the Festival. Look out for their stall over the weekend.
FOOD FOR The SOuLKeYhOuSe PROJeCTWe feel particularly honoured to be supporting the Homelessness charity Keyhouse, and the launch of a new training kitchen. Celebrated broadcaster, raconteur and masterchef, Hardeep Singh Kohli – a regular at the World Curry Festival, will be helping to cook a huge curry to celebrate the opening, which takes place on the first day of the Festival – Friday 21 June. The new facilities will support people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness by offering training and skills development opportunities, and by running health and wellbeing projects.
Keyhouse provides a wide range of supported housing services in Keighley, Bradford and Calderdale, and works with young people, teenage parents, homeless families, people with complex needs and refugees to house them in suitable accommodation, or to provide them with other support depending on their individual needs and circumstances.

Punjabi Lamb Chop Curry
Finely chop the onions, garlic, chilli and two inches of ginger. Keep an inch of the ginger for later.
In a large casserole heat 2 tablespoons of corn or veg oil. Once it’s heated add the cumin. Fry for a minute or two before adding the cardamom, star anise and half a dozen peppercorns.
Fry these off for a few minutes before adding the aromatics (onion, chilli, ginger and garlic). On a medium heat cook these down for about 20 minutes, turning ever so often to stop them sticking. You want the onion mix to caramelise and colour. Once this has occurred add the tomato puree. Fry this off for a few minutes before adding the tumeric, chilli powder and 2 of the tbsp of garam masala. Also add a little pepper and some salt.
Fry the spices in the masala for a few minutes before adding the lovely lamb chops. Fry them for a few moments before adding enough water to almost cover the meat. Bring to the boil and simmer until the lamb is cooked. Throw in the fresh chopped tomatoes for the last few minutes.
Meanwhile julienne the remaining ginger and chop the mint. When the dish is done sprinkle the top with the julienne of ginger, the coriander and the remaining tablespoon of garam masala.
Ingredients• 10 lamb chops• 4 medium red onions• 7 green chillis• 3 inches of root ginger• Half a dozen garlic cloves• 2 tbsp of tomato puree• 8 deseeded tomatoes• 1 tbsp of cumin seeds• Half a dozen cardamom pods• A star anise• Half a dozen peppercorns• 1 tbsp tumeric• 1 tbsp chilli powder• 1 tbsp coriander powder• 3 tbsp garam masala• A handful of fresh mint leaves

(ideally Kenyan), trimmed but not de-seeded
• 1-2 cloves garlic• 4cm root ginger, peeled and
roughly chopped• Pinch of salt
Main Ingredients• 250g medium-thick
flattened rice• 130ml sunflower oil• 1 tsp cumin seeds• ½ tsp brown mustard seeds• 15 fresh curry leaves, washed• 1 large red-skinned (or other
waxy) potato, cut in 1cm chunks• ½ tsp turmeric• 1 tsp salt• 4 tsp sesame seeds• 100g red-skinned (unroasted,

Recipe by Kaushy Patel
Prashad Indian Vegetarian Cuisinewww.prashad.co.uk
Flakes of flattened or beaten rice are often used in Indian cooking as a convenience food, and can be soaked, steamed, baked, fried or even made in to porridge . You can find it in Indian supermarkets and online . This is a great quick-and-easy dish, something I can make with no planning or advance preparation from ingredients that are always in my fridge and store cupboard . As a result, it is perfect to serve to unexpected lunch guests" .
Kaushy Patel
Crush the chillies, garlic and ginger together with a pinch of salt with a pestle and mortar (or in a blender) to make a fine masala paste.
Soak the rice for a minute in enough warm water to cover it, then drain.
Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over a medium heat, then fry the cumin seeds until they start to darken. Tip in the mustard seeds and once they start to pop, add the curry leaves – do this carefully as the leaves will immediately start to sizzle and the oil may spit. Stir together, reduce the heat to low and stir in the potato chunks, turmeric and salt. Turn the heat up slightly, cover and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potato starts to soften.
Stir in the masala paste, sesame seeds, peanuts, sugar and one handful of the chopped coriander, cover and leave to cook for 4-5 minutes over a low heat until the potato is cooked through.
Add the drained rice and warm water and stir gently – the pauwa will start to turn the yellow colour of the turmeric. Cover and cook for a further couple of minutes, stirring occasionally to stop anything sticking to the pan. Stir in the lemon juice and continue to cook covered until the pauwa has absorbed all the liquid and the dish has a loose rice-like texture.
