WORLD CURRY FESTIVAL 2013
Welcome to the World Curry Festival 2013 Three Days of Intense Flavours, Sights and Sounds from Around the World Our three day event has been created to offer a kaboom of sensory experiences, taking in sights and sound, as well as taste. When we first established the Festival our intention was to create an event that would be remembered and repeated year after year. Now in our fourth year, we feel we are well on our way to achieving our dream. Bradford’s stunning City Park will be transformed into a marvellous bazaar of restaurants, stalls and stages. The fabulous food on offer is inspired by dishes from all over the world – from Britain, India, Pakistan, Kashmir, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Jamaica, and Lebanon. Highlights of the Festival include The Curry Theatre where our collection of talented chefs are set to reveal their unique approaches to cooking curry; Chefs’ Table an opportunity for you to watch chefs and curry connoisseurs share their secrets under the spotlight; a Street Food Market full of flavours, delights and fun activities; and Learn to Cook Curry classes for budding chefs of all ages. We are privileged to welcome back ‘Grand Master Chef’ Hemant Oberoi, all the way from his home city of Mumbai, India, to share his secrets – he’ll also be playing the lead role in our Raj-inspired Finale Dinner – turn to page 23 for more details. And last but not least the great Ian McMillan has inspired us to launch a poetry competition – read all about how we’re encouraging young people to write ‘poempadoms and spice stories’ on page 20. A wonderful weekend of fun and food on the menu for all!

WORLD CURRY FESTIVAL 2013
Flavours of the Festival In 2010, we celebrated 200 years of curry in Britain. Since Sake Dean Mahomed opened the Hindoostane Coffee House (the first official curry house) in central London, in 1810, the curry industry in this country has exploded. Today it is worth an estimated £4bn a year, and there are more than 10,000 curry houses across the land. Curry appeals to all sections of society, and is often referred to as the nation’s favourite dish. Our aim is to bring you curry from across the globe – not just the UK and the Indian sub-continent. We are on a mission to seek out talent and tastes from Africa, the
Americas, Europe, the Middle East, the Far East and Australia. What’s so special about curry – where ever it is from – is that it reflects a myriad of countries, cultures, ingredients and flavours from around the world. So whether it’s a Great British curry, a Malaysian fusion dish, a Caribbean classic, or an Indian banquet … there’s always a story to tell.
If there’s one thing that brings all cultures together, it’s curry. People may follow different religions or hold conflicting political views, but talk about curry and they’ll have something to say to each other!” Zulfi Karim, Festival Director
www.worldcurryfestival.com
Jamaica Due to colonialism expect a tropical blend of African, Creole, Spanish, Indian and Chinese cuisine.
BRITAIN Curry has become an integral part of British cuisine – today Chicken Tikka Masala is often referred to as the "National Dish".
MALAYSIA Influenced by many different factors from culture, agriculture and religion, the food varies from state to state.
PAKISTAN Vegetable and meat ‘dry’ curries made from a variety of spices served with bread or rice.
SRI LANKA Rice is staple part of the diet, with a variety of dishes eaten on special occasions, spicy curries frequently consumed at lunch and dinner.

INDIA Grand Master Chef Hemant Oberoi It’s a wonder Grand Master Chef Hemant Oberoi has found time to fly from India to Bradford to delight festival-goers with his revolutionary and world-renowned cooking. Not only is he the chef in charge at Mumbai’s legendary Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, which serves 5,000 meals a day, but he is executive chef of the Taj Group’s chain of Indian and International hotels and restaurants.

The credit roll includes the Obamas, Prince Charles, George Bush, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Jean Chirac, The Rolling Stones, and the late Margaret Thatcher. Known for his inventive approach to cookery, Chef Oberoi is already widely credited with Khud cuisine – a concept of food cooked in earthenware vessels and served in the same pots, as well as Cal-Indian cuisine, a fusion of Indian and Californian food.

Kaushy Patel
Signature Dish (Love)
A mother of three and very well respected chef within her community, Kaushy is a national and regional triple award winning, loving and caring lady. Not extravagant but earthy and loving.
Kaushy’s primary secret in cooking is mental preparation. She adamantly insists that to ensure dishes are of superior quality they should encapsulate good thoughts and wishes while cooking.
Kaushy started her love affair with cooking back in India. As a little girl she lived with her grandma who was a large landowner and her day would involve cooking feasts for the farm staff. Each day she would be involved with cooking for 100+ people and so her skills started to flourish early. Kaushy moved to England in the 1960s, bringing her passion for fabulous flavours with her. She has been creating and perfecting her dishes ever since. Prashad is the only restaurant in Bradford with a coveted AA Rosette, is the most talked about restaurant on Trip Advisor and played a key role in the team that secured the title of Curry Capital of the UK for Bradford. The business was established in 1992 by Mohan and Kaushy Patel, selling traditional Indian snacks and sweets. It has developed into an awardwinning restaurant offering traditional Gujarati and Punjabi vegetarian cuisine with Mohan and Kaushy working alongside oldest son Bobby Patel and his wife Minal.

Hardeep Singh Kohli
Signature Dish (MAGIC)
We’re delighted to announce that Hardeep Singh Kohli – celebrated broadcaster, raconteur and talented chef, will be demonstrating his cooking skills at the World Curry Festival.
Hardeep prepares his famous Punjabi Lamb Chop Curry with a magical blend of love and laughter.
Hardeep is no stranger to us, with an impressive array of appearances on popular shows such as The One Show, BBC’s Question Time, This Week with Andrew Neil, and Radio Four. His love of good food combined with a healthy mix of laughter on Celebrity Masterchef gained him the runner-up position and an influx of foodie fans. Those of you lucky enough to sample a taste of Hardeep over the weekend will be treated to an anecdote packed cookery demonstration. During the Festival Hardeep will helping launch a new training kitchen at the Keyhouse project in Bradford. See page 22 for details.

See Mohammed Aslam at The Curry Theatre on Sunday
Mumtaz Khan The Mumtaz story began in 1979, when Farzand Begum, mother of the Mumtaz Family opened a small shop just four metres square on Great Horton Road in Bradford, and quickly became famous for its authentic Kashmiri cuisine. Little did she know then, that from these humble beginnings was to grow a multi-national food operation that spans the globe, with prestigious restaurants in Bradford and Leeds. Mumtaz believes all of this has been achieved by keeping faithful to the family’s original recipes and by continuing to use the finest ingredient.
“The World Curry Festival is a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness of International cuisine, and a great opportunity to encourage more and more people to cook at home, and appreciate good, quality curry.” Mumtaz Khan

As one of the most exciting and engaging up-and-coming chefs in the UK, Chef Norman is passionate about promoting his native Malaysian cuisine. With over 50,000 Facebook fans and appearances on MasterChef Malaysia, Chef Norman has achieved much since opening his first Ning restaurant and cookery school in Manchester in 2006, with a branch in York and a supper club in London. He was chef for the Malaysian Formula One team in 2010; finalist for Malaysia’s National Outstanding Achievement Awards in 2011 and is currently the UK’s Young Asian and Oriental Chef of the Year. He is working on his third cookbook. Born in Penang, the food capital of Malaysia, Chef Norman has achieved much in just six years as a professional chef.

He was also a finalist in the 1st Malaysia National Achievement Awards for outstanding achievement in his field.

18 WORLD CURRY FESTIVAL 2013
CHEF MUSA'S ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS The exciting thing about Malaysian cooking is all the ingredients and their flavours and aromas. However some of the ingredients used are less well-known to many people in the UK, so I thought I would illustrate them. In most British cities like Manchester and London you can pick up the ingredients in specialist oriental and South Asian grocery stores, and increasingly in the ‘world foods’ aisles of major supermarkets. In Malaysia, of course, you can find these ingredients much more easily. You might wonder why I blend many of the more familiar ingredients like garlic, ginger and onion. This is because the blended ingredients mix well with the sauces, resulting in a richer flavour. For cooking oil, I use vegetable oil but you can also use corn or sunflower. The strong flavour of olive oil, however, is not suitable as it will be overpowering. And if you like your food very spicy, just add more chillies. Galangal – This herb is of the same family as ginger. The aroma and flavour is very pungent and citrusy. You only need to use a bit in a recipe otherwise the dish will turn slightly bitter. 100g of fresh galangal peeled and blended with 100ml of water can produce up to 10 tablespoons of paste. In the UK you can find it in the chiller cabinet of oriental grocery stores.
Tamarind – Malaysians use a lot of tamarind juice in cooking, as an alternative to lime or lemon juice. It gives the same effect. Tamarind is like a sour plum, of which the pulp is edible (when ripened). Soak the tamarind pulp in boiled water for 5 minutes before using it. If the recipe only requires a few tablespoons of the juice, just soak a couple of pinches of tamarind pulp.
www.worldcurryfestival.com 19
Lemongrass – This is one of my favourite herbs. The refreshing fragrance makes recipes smell so fresh and aromatic. Four stalks of lemongrass blended with 150ml water can give up to 10 tablespoons paste. Having cut off the tip, use the bottom half of a lemongrass stalk, chopping it into small pieces before blending it with the water. Curry Leaves – Curry leaves originate from India, and consequently are a typical ingredient in Indian style Malaysian dishes. Buying fresh ones is best. In the UK you can normally buy them in Asian grocery stores and markets. In Manchester, we have a so-called Curry Mile where you can pick them up. If you cannot get hold of them, you can use dried ones but soak them first in boiling water to soften them.
Fragrant Screwpine – Pandan leaves are from the “Screwpine Tree”, and are widely used in South East Asian cooking. Their distinctive, slightly nutty aroma adds a delicate scent to rice and added flavour to curries. In Malaysia, their extracted juice is a natural green colouring used for colouring in desserts. Tied in a knot, a leaf can also be used to brush oil in a pan. Dark Coconut Block Sugar – This type of sugar comes in blocks or discs, but is different from palm sugar which is widely available in oriental shops in the UK. The sweetness is more intense compared to granulated white sugar. Malaysians use a lot of coconut block sugar for their desserts. I also choose to use it in my beef rendang as it gives an extra darkness to the gravy.
Coconut Milk – There are many files available in the UK, but the best brand in my opinion is Chaokoh, produced in Thailand. It’s very creamy and not watery compared to other brands you might pick up in a British supermarket. In Malaysia you can buy fresh coconut milk, which is even better.
Whole Mixed Herbs – Whole mixed herbs and seeds are available in many South Asian grocery stores here in Manchester. They come in a packet containing a mixture of black mustard seeds, fenugreek and cumin seeds. I use them in my fish curry. In Malaysia I love getting these from the specialist spice stall at the local market.
Dried chilli paste – Dried chillies are used a lot in Malaysian cooking. The colour is a rich, gorgeous crimson compared to using fresh chillies, and the flavour sweeter and more intense than sharp. Twenty dried chillies with 150ml of water can give up to 10 tbl spoons of chilli paste.
Shrimp Paste – Belacan is popular throughout South East Asia, made from fermented ground shrimps, which are then sun-dried and formed into slaps like cheese or pate. These days you can widely buy it in jars. Malaysians use the paste to enhance the flavour, though the smell can really put some Western people off.
20 WORLD CURRY FESTIVAL 2013
Poempadoms & Spice Stories The celebrated Ian McMillan @IMcMillan, Yorkshire poet, comedian and broadcaster, helped us to launch the Festival this year, with a recital of Curry World, a poem he had written especially for us!
This is the start of something fantastic – curry is like poetry, a mix of ingredients you put together to make something special. This is the day that poetry and curry have finally come together and people will be talking about this for a long time to come." Ian McMillan
CURRY WORLD It’s history and culture on a plate, It’s diversity served with rice You can eat it early or late And it’s never the same thing twice; Because curry is an endless delight An old dance of flavour and spice, A new experience night after night And it’s never the same thing twice And the world should run on curry Now wouldn’t that really be nice Although you might have to move in a hurry Because it’s never the same thing twice And the globe should turn and spin On curry. Take my advice: Live in a world that’s got curry in And it’ll never be the same world twice! © Ian McMillan
www.worldcurryfestival.com 21
Hot off the Press Inspired by Ian’s creativity (it was Ian, after all, who coined the phrase ‘poempadoms’) and the spirit of the festival, we’ve launched a writing competition for young people. We’re asking schools across the country to get involved and encourage children to create a ‘poempadom’ (poem) or ‘spice story’ (short story) about food, cooking and flavours. See www.worldcurryfestival.com for more details. We’re pleased to say Ian has agreed to be one of the judges!
Ian McMillan As well as being poet-inresidence for The Academy of Urbanism and Barnsley FC, Ian’s previous experience includes a whole host of exciting ventures including resident poet for English National Opera, UK Trade and Investment Poet, Yorkshire TV’s Investigative Poet and even Humberside Police’s Beat Poet. He presents The Verb every week on BBC R3 and is a regular on Coast, Pick of the Week, You and Yours, Last Word and The Arts Show. He was recently castaway on Desert Island Discs. Interestingly cats make him sneeze! Carol Ann Duffy describes him as ‘world-class – one of today’s greatest poetry performers’.
Our aim is to bring people together through food, and inspire and educate people through culture … and where better to start than literature.” Zulfi Karim, Festival Director

Food for the Soul Keyhouse Project
Growing All Things Spice Community is always an important focus for the World Curry Festival team, and during the past year we’ve been working closely PRISM Youth Project, encouraging young people to get involved in growing produce. Despite the long, cold winter, the students have nurtured a fantastic green crop, including salad onions, coriander, rosemary, lemon balm, sage, mint, bay leaves, thyme, rocket, oak leaf lettuce, pak choi, potatoes and rhubarb. Some of the fresh produce will be used by our chefs during their cookery demonstrations, and will be eaten by guests at our Finale Dinner. A big thank you goes to the PRISM Youth Project, a wonderful supporter of the Festival. Look out for their stall over the weekend.
We feel particularly honoured to be supporting the Homelessness charity Keyhouse, and the launch of a new training kitchen. Celebrated broadcaster, raconteur and masterchef, Hardeep Singh Kohli – a regular at the World Curry Festival, will be helping to cook a huge curry to celebrate the opening, which takes place on the first day of the Festival – Friday 21 June. The new facilities will support people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness by offering training and skills development opportunities, and by running health and wellbeing projects. Keyhouse provides a wide range of supported housing services in Keighley, Bradford and Calderdale, and works with young people, teenage parents, homeless families, people with complex needs and refugees to house them in suitable accommodation, or to provide them with other support depending on their individual needs and circumstances.

Punjabi Lamb Chop Curry Ingredients • 10 lamb chops • 4 medium red onions • 7 green chillis • 3 inches of root ginger • Half a dozen garlic cloves • 2 tbsp of tomato puree • 8 deseeded tomatoes • 1 tbsp of cumin seeds • Half a dozen cardamom pods • A star anise • Half a dozen peppercorns • 1 tbsp tumeric • 1 tbsp chilli powder • 1 tbsp coriander powder • 3 tbsp garam masala • A handful of fresh mint leaves
Recipe by Hardeep Singh Kohli www.hardeepsinghkohli.co.uk
Finely chop the onions, garlic, chilli and two inches of ginger. Keep an inch of the ginger for later. In a large casserole heat 2 tablespoons of corn or veg oil. Once it’s heated add the cumin. Fry for a minute or two before adding the cardamom, star anise and half a dozen peppercorns. Fry these off for a few minutes before adding the aromatics (onion, chilli, ginger and garlic). On a medium heat cook these down for about 20 minutes, turning ever so often to stop them sticking. You want the onion mix to caramelise and colour. Once this has occurred add the tomato puree. Fry this off for a few minutes before adding the tumeric, chilli powder and 2 of the tbsp of garam masala. Also add a little pepper and some salt. Fry the spices in the masala for a few minutes before adding the lovely lamb chops. Fry them for a few moments before adding enough water to almost cover the meat. Bring to the boil and simmer until the lamb is cooked. Throw in the fresh chopped tomatoes for the last few minutes. Meanwhile julienne the remaining ginger and chop the mint. When the dish is done sprinkle the top with the julienne of ginger, the coriander and the remaining tablespoon of garam masala.

Bataka Pauwa serves 4
Flattened rice with peanuts and potato
Recipe by Kaushy Patel Prashad Indian Vegetarian Cuisine www.prashad.co.uk
Masala Ingredients Flakes of flattened or beaten rice are often used in Indian cooking as a convenience food, and can be soaked, steamed, baked, fried or even made in to porridge. You can find it in Indian supermarkets and online. This is a great quick-and-easy dish, something I can make with no planning or advance preparation from ingredients that are always in my fridge and store cupboard. As a result, it is perfect to serve to unexpected lunch guests". Kaushy Patel Crush the chillies, garlic and ginger together with a pinch of salt with a pestle and mortar (or in a blender) to make a fine masala paste. Soak the rice for a minute in enough warm water to cover it, then drain. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over a medium heat, then fry the cumin seeds until they start to darken. Tip in the mustard seeds and once they start to pop, add the curry leaves – do this carefully as the leaves will immediately start to sizzle and the oil may spit. Stir together, reduce the heat to low and stir in the potato chunks, turmeric and salt. Turn the heat up slightly, cover and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potato starts to soften. Stir in the masala paste, sesame seeds, peanuts, sugar and one handful of the chopped coriander, cover and leave to cook for 4-5 minutes over a low heat until the potato is cooked through. Add the drained rice and warm water and stir gently – the pauwa will start to turn the yellow colour of the turmeric. Cover and cook for a further couple of minutes, stirring occasionally to stop anything sticking to the pan. Stir in the lemon juice and continue to cook covered until the pauwa has absorbed all the liquid and the dish has a loose rice-like texture.

CURRY WORLD
It’s history and culture on a plate, It’s diversity served with rice You can eat it early or late And it’s never the same thing twice; Because curry is an endless delight An old dance of flavour and spice, A new experience night after night And it’s never the same thing twice And the world should run on curry Now wouldn’t that really be nice Although you might have to move in a hurry Because it’s never the same thing twice And the globe should turn and spin On curry. Take my advice: Live in a world that’s got curry in And it’ll never be the same world twice! © Ian McMillan
