It is, or at least I think so. They certainly ain't no Twilight vamps, that's for sure.
Aye, saw there is a TV series coming out so got the book on my Kindle to read in my new "reading corner" of the flat:
Curry recipe..
1 onion , peeled and quartered
2 garlic cloves
thumb-sized chunk of ginger peeled
1 red chilli
2 whole green chilli, sliced lengthways in strips
1 tbsp vegetable oil
½ tsp turmeric<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1-2 tsp hot chilli powder (depending on how spicy you like your curry)
4 chicken breasts, cut into chunks
400g can chopped tomatoes
small pack coriander, chopped
rice<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
naan and mango chutney, to serve
Method
Blitz 1 quartered onion, 2 garlic cloves, a thumbsized chunk of ginger and 1 red chilli together in a food processor until it becomes a coarse paste.
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large saucepan and add the paste, fry for 5 mins, until softened. If it starts to stick to the pan at all, add a splash of water.
Tip in ½ tsp turmeric, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander and 1-2 tsp hot chilli powder and stir well, cook for a couple of mins to toast them a bit, then add 4 chicken breasts, cut into chunks. Stir and make sure everything is covered in the spice mix.
Cook until the chicken begins to turn pale, add the green chilli strips, adding a small splash of water if it sticks to the base of the pan at all.
Pour in 400g can chopped tomatoes, along with a big pinch of salt, cover and cook on a low heat for 30 mins, until the chicken is tender.
Stir through small pack of coriander and serve with rice, naan and a big dollop of mango chut
