Hi evryone i have just attempted to make this curry that looked fab on the tv but i think they have put the wrong amounts of flour that you have to add ie 5 tbs of plain flour and 5 tsb of sr flour mine came out like thick tasteless wallpaper paste and ideas what to do put the recipe right

Hi margy DITTO but we are having another go using a teaspoon. Fingers crossed

help - i can't find the recipe anymore - where is it?!?!?!?!

Hiya lou lou pie i changed it to teaspoons to for the flour. but i found out they forgot to put the chilli powder on the web recipe so make sure you add some too and extra water to cos it still comes out thick to thick realy
ps i kept the programe on tape thats how i found out about the chilli powder and the curry now tastes so much nicer now and its best to let it cook for a long time to get the flavour realy going just remember to check on it and give it a stir
happy cooking
margy

iona mac its still there i had a problem finding it too

i too followed the recipe and also used the 5tbs of both plain and sr flour.I couldn't understand why it was so thick.My husband checked again tonight as i was cooking this dish and wasn't happy,it now says 5tsp of plain flour, i also thought there's no way it looked liked that on the show. Also it didn't list garlic as it does tonight.What a let down.

tryed lilys curry came out thick see others have had same problem, how much chilly powder? as not on recipe sheet.

The web link for the curry:-

The web link you need is [link]

i put one and a half teaspoons of mild chillipowder it takes quite some time to cook enough to get the curry flavour coming through. happy cooking

given up on lily,s curry so tried jamie oliver,s chk tikka masala but didn,t have any natural yogurt so substituted with coconut milk, result, heaven on a plate, 10/10 for nekkid chefs x

dont give up just yet. its a nice dish when you get the recipe right, go on give it one more shot

On the program, Anthony mentioned when the curry powder was being added. The daughter said "in a minute"

What kind of curry power and how much????????????

btw, I too used 5 tbsp of both flowers. Not a good result. Didn't know if I wanted to eat it or kick it!

I noticed also that they added chilli power. I'll try that later today.

Yep I cooked this Sat night and although I remembered the two flours (not mentioned in the ingredients) I didn't remember the chilli and curry powder so it was all a bit tasteless really. Disappointing.

Have we a difinitive recipe for this now on the web site as im going to attempt it tomorrow and ive lost track of what the ingredients are lol lol HELP

WAHA HAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHAH EUROEKA!

Beautiful curry.

I used :-

1.5 tsp mild chilli power.
1 tsp madras curry powder.
1 tbsp plain flour
1 tbsp Self Raising flour
500 ML water instead of 125ml

Fantastic result. Make sure you cook the finished paste through enough. I cooked it for about an hour on a low heat.

Hi Mark i just wanted to know if you added the chilli and curry powder at the same time you added the other spices or did you let them cook out a little first

i used 5 tsp sr flour as well as plain result very thick paste,added lots more water plus 1/2 tsp of corriander,cumin,chilli and turmeric,plus salt and pepper and cooked it for about 40 mins subtle taste so will now add 1 tsp curry powder should be o.k. lucky i know a bit about cooking and next time i'll write it down as it's cooked on t.v. as we can't trust uktv food researcher's advice,any chance of the job !!

i cooked all the spices together after softening the onion garilc ginger and chilli then added the teaspoons of flour mixed up to a horrible looking mess then added water and cooked it for 30 mins on a medium heat . then i put it through a blender then back on to cook for a hour and it was ok

Does anybody know the name & address of the restaurant that Helen's twin sister runs?

sorry not got a clue but i am sure will come along who does

Cookin Girl- It's called 'Sweet Mandarin' and they have a web site. I mailed them already on 25/2/07 and they requested an update of the recipe on UKTV site but it obviously hasn't happened.

Dear All,

Thank you for your interest in my grandmother Lily Kwok's curry. I do apologise that the recipe on the website is wrong. I have contacted UKTV Food to correct it - Some clear errors - I noticed there is no self raising flour, curry powder or stock! The quantities need to be revised too. The methodology is also crucial to making the perfect curry.

I am awaiting for the revised recipe to be updated and due to our agreement as a contributor on UKTV Food the recipe is for UKTV Food to upload (rather than us sending out to individual requests). In the meanwhile, if you are desperate for a taste, you are welcome to a sample tasting of the curry at Sweet Mandarin (which my sister Lisa runs) in Manchester. It would be great to meet you all! Foodies unite.

Wishing you all the best

Helen Tse

p.s. My grandma says Hi.

Hi Helen, and thanks. the recipe has drove a few of us a little bit insane trying to get it right. lets hope they soon get the proper recipe posted i am so wanting to try this curry, i would love to come for a sample taste but i live in newcastle oh well i can dream what it might tatse like
thanks anyway
margy

Hey UKTV
fix the web page I have sent it to a lot of friends and they are phoning me up saying it tastes awful.
Hurryup
Mark

It really is unacceptable. A lot of people had an inedible meal the first time they tried this not to mention wasting money on ingredients. They then take the recipe off the website and replace it with another one which is obviously wrong as well. C'mon UKTVFOOD get your fingers out and put up the correct recipe. People who read the message boards know that the recipe is still wrong and are not going to waste anymore money until the correct recipe is put up but what about the people who don't read the boards and are creating this disasterous recipe every day!!Lily's curry's reputation is also at risk!
Thanks for coming on to explain Helen, I only hope they get the right recipe up asap!
