Delicious spicey gravy. Photo: Snapcast
We are all used to eating the normal bland gravy with turkey each Christmas gravy granules from a tin… This year, why not try something new? Instead of the usual routine of pouring gravy granules from a tin into hot water and slurping the watering tasteless stuff, you can do try this to delight your family and friends…

Ingredients
    10 pieces of medium pieces of chicken without skin and fat
    3-4 tbsp olive oil
    3-4 medium sized onions
    1 tsp turmeric powder
    1 scotch bonnet chilli finely chopped or red chilli powder
    1 small piece of ginger
    5 cloves of garlic
    2-3 bay leaves
    4-5 green chillies
    6-7 curry leaves
   Gravy thickener (ground rice or flour is good)
A blender or food processor

To marinade the chicken:
Blend half of the chilli, onion, garlic, ginger and green peppers in the food processor or blender for two minutes. Add the mixture to the pieces of chicken and let it marinate for about 2 hours.

Why not watch to this fantastic  music video as you cook.., if you can follow the dance steps it will keep you in shape!


Method
STEP 1: Boil the chicken for an hour and let it simmer in the last 10 minutes. Drain the juice and grill the chicken. Slice the remaining onions finely. Add 2-tbsps of the oil in frying pan or saucepan and fry the onions on medium heat for about two minutes. Keep stirring then, add the finely chopped chillies and the ginger/ garlic paste and fry for another two minutes. Now add the rest of the ingredients and cook properly. Add seas salt to taste.

STEP 2:
Remove the pan form the cooker and leave to cool down. Next add a little water to the mixture and pour it back into the blende to grind it to a smooth paste. Add the flour or ground rice to the sauce and let it simmer on low heat for another 15 minutes.

How to make Apple Crumble Pie

Preparation Time: 20 minutes ~ Cooking Time: 40 minutes ~ Serves 4 portions
INGREDIENTS5 medium cox apples
170g / 6oz granulated sugar
170g / 6oz butter or cooking margarine
280g / 10oz Self-raising flour
1 teaspoon of cinnamon

COOKING EQUIPMENT
1 Medium-sized oven-proof dish
Scales
Fork
Wooden spoon
METHODPre-heat your oven so that it is hot and your pie willl start baking immediately. Set the heating to 180°C / 350°F / Gas Mark 5, slightly lower (170°C / Gas Mark 4) in a fan oven.


Make the 'crumble' mixture using your hands ~  the flour, magazine, butter, half of the cinnamon and two-thirds of the sugar until the mixture resembles bread crumbs.
Peel the apples and cut each one into four parts. Cut out the core from each of the sections
Next slice the apple quarters into medium sized pieces. let's say into four. Add the rest of the cinnamon and sugar, sprinkling them evenly over the apples.

Put then baking pan into the middle of the oven at 180°C / 350°F / Gas Mark 5 for 40 minutes. Change the settings to grill and grill the top of the pie for about 30 seconds to 'brown' the crumble topping. Remove it from the oven and leave it to cool for at least 30 minutes.
Serve hot or cold with ice cream, cream or custard.
