1) Use canned diced tomatoes and tomato paste, not fresh diced tomatoes.
2) Add 1 T brown sugar to your curry
3) There are lots of recipes for curry but the one I usually use is a paste made from:
1/4 cup water
1 T turmeric
1 T cumin
1 T ground coriander
1 T Garam Masala (in the spice section)
1 tsp. ground cardamon
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. ground clove
Mix the spices dry, then add 1/2 of that mixture to the water and form a paste.
(Keep the other 1/2 for later, in a jar.)
Heat the paste in 2 T canola oil in a skillet for about 1 minute.
Add in 1 can diced tomatoes, 1 T brown sugar, small can tomato paste and 1 can water or chicken stock. Let simmer for about 20 mintues, stirring often.
Add in your chicken, tofu, peas, etc.
In the very end, add in 1/4 cup HEAVY CREAM.
Serve with rice.
1/2 tsp. ground clove
