Indian Giver

It’s always been hard to find a decent Indian meal in Hurghada.  Now it’s almost impossible as the Indian restaurant in the Marina has now shut down.

I’ve been gradually building up my collection of herbs and spices, with the assistance of friends returning from the UK and visitors.  As such, I can now throw together a base curry sauce that will then allow me to make almost any Indian-style curry without too much trouble.

As Jo brought a few bits out last year, I’ve promised her a batch of the base curry, but it looks like I’ll be changing that to make a Dhansak for her.  A new batch has recently been made and is sitting in the freezer awaiting use.

I also now have jars of home-made curry powders, tandoori powders and garam masala that will be put to good use.
