Folks for the traditionalist who likes to mix the spices personally, especially if cooking at home, this is the traditional mix. The one with paste is the quicker away dish.

Pot 1 Chicken replace paste with
2 teaspoons fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic crushed
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground cardamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Pot 2 Rice
1/2 tsp saffron
1/2 tsp ground cardamon
1 tsp salt

This is a very rural traditional dish if the spices are used as above, which is its essence.
I have a work college who is from an area in Kashmir called Banihal, (check google earth), and I seem to acquire a jar of saffron every year adds a fantastic flavour.

Don't waste a day, not while your breathing.

Yeah thanks Michael I love a good curry and enjoy it even more if it's a bit different from the last one. They have gone straight into the Handy Billy.
