Around the World for £4 Or Less took us to “H” for Honduras yesterday evening.
 
This recipe was supposed to be sufficient for four. Actually you could easily serve six substantial portions. So you might want to reduce the ingredient quantities!

2 bullet Chillies, sliced
1 tbs Salt
½ tbs Black Pepper
1 tbs Curry powder
1 tbs Chilli powder
1 Bouquet Garni
1 small Red Bell Pepper, sliced
1 Lime cut into wedges

(1) Add all the ingredients except the Rice, Bell Pepper and Peas to a large pan with water and bring to the boil.
(2) Simmer for 30 minutes.
(3) Remove the Chicken and allow to cool.
(4) Strain the stock from the other cooked ingredients and set aside.
(5) Cut the cooked Chicken from the bone into rough cubes.
(6) In a frying pan add the Oil and Rice and fry until the rice has taken on a little colour.

Kudla Panji Kari recipe, eat well on universal credit

We're working through the Pork Leg I found in the yellow sticker fridge, butchered and froze. Pork recipes for Indian dishes aren't very common, but this really worked.

Ingredients:-

500g of Pork Thigh, cubed
1 Onion, sliced
4 Cloves of Garlic, sliced
1 Inch of Ginger, julienned
3 Green Chillies, slit in half
10 Peppercorns, crushed
3 Cloves
1 Cinnamon Stick
1 Cardamom Pod, crushed
1 Bay Leaf
2 Tbsp of White Vinegar
10 Dried Red chillies. Soaked for 15 minutes and drained
1 Tbsp of Coriander Seeds
½ a Tbsp of Poppy Seeds
1 Tbsp of Cumin Seeds
2 Tsp of Mustard Seeds
1 Tsp of Turmeric Powder
1 Tsp of Salt
1 Tin of Chopped Tomatoes
Fresh Coriander and Red Chilli to garnish

Method:-

(1) Grind together the Red Chillies, Coriander Seeds, Cumin Seeds, Mustard Seeds and Poppy Seeds.
(2) Add a little Water near the end and add the Vingar to form a paste. Set aside.
(3) In a Dutch Oven or flame proof Casserole dish add the remaining ingredients, excluding to chopped Tomatoes.
(4) Add the Masala Paste and mix gently.
(5) Place over a low heat and cover.
(6) Simmer for 2 hours or until the Pork is tender.
(7) Add the Tomatoes, stir and simmer for a further 20 minutes.
(8) Garnish with fresh Coriander and Chillies.

We service ours with Turmeric coloured mixed Rice. This was a really rich Curry with a relatively dry sauce.
