Daag recipe: the ultimate curry base

Add the ginger and garlic and stir for a few seconds, scraping it where it is sticking. Add a splash of water to loosen the bits on the bottom and release brown caramalised juices from the onions. Once the water has bubbled off, stir in the ground spices, followed a few seconds later by the tomatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, until reddish oil is seeping out from the paste of tomatoes and spice, a sign that all the water has evaporated. Meanwhile, toast the cumin in a dry frying pan for a minute or so until fragrant. Add the cumin to the pan along with the garam masala. At this point the daag can be stored in the fridge for one week or frozen for two months.

Fins of beauty: Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's warming fish recipes

And eating comfort food, for me, so often involves reaching for a spoon. I'm not just talking about puddings, but savoury treats, too: stews, broths and casseroles. A little sauce makes me feel particularly cosseted. While slow-cooked cuts of meat can form the backbone of such soothing dishes, I love a fish stew. Or soup. What little time and effort is required is all in building the foundation, creating a flavoursome broth or sauce. I'm an avid fan of oily fish, particularly mackerel and sardines, but these are not the species to which I instinctively turn when it's a stew I have in mind.

You may be surprised to find cod in the list above. It's better still, though, to ring the changes and buy more of the other white-fleshed fish I mention.

Wild Rice Pilaf with Butternut Squash – Healthy Thanksgiving Recipe

When I made a batch for my pre-Thanksgiving run-through, I discovered that it’s even better than I had hoped, garnering a lot of “wows” from my trusty tasters. I made a few tweaks, most importantly using all wild rice rather than a wild rice mix, which has just a bit of wild rice, and generally not even the real thing at that. For truly wild rice, look for the stuff harvested by hand from lakes in Minnesota and Canada. It’s a big cut above the cultivated variety (which may also be produced in Minnesota, so the state isn’t the only criteria here.) The dressing used here is a revelation, and I give all the credit to A Communal Table.

And in case you haven’t noticed, this pilaf is 100% guilt-free. Mumbai potato wraps with minted yogurt relish recipe. Fragrant pork & rice one-pot recipe.
