Nick sent this recipe from Mysore where he recently went to Ani's cooking class. I suspected that 50 gm of curry powder would be far too hot for me, but I gathered some large round chillies from my newly discovered Indian supermarket , as well as all the other ingredients and gave them a whizz in my little electric spice grinder.
It was hot. My tongue was burning after I tasted it. A glass of milk was the best antidote.
But it gave Ani's Butter Paneer Masala , which I'll post soon, an excellent flavour. And so much nicer than the shop bought variety which is often stale after it has most probably been sitting on the supermarket shelves for far too long.
