Cooler weather is around the corner. It's darker earlier and this weekend, days will get dramatically shorter with one whole hour lopped off the end with the conclusion of daylight saving. I don't like the passing of summer. It's too short. And I like heat. I consoled myself by making a nice big rich hot curry. If you're making a curry and can't be bothered with hard to find herbs and spices, pre-prepared sauces can help. The more genuine, the better. Like Ferns pickles and curry pastes . They are the real thing. You can find them in Asian food stores and some smaller supermarkets. They're definitely worth searching out. I bought some Ferns Butter Chicken Curry Paste and followed this easy recipe: Rich Butter Chicken Marinate half a kilo of boneless chicken pieces in a teaspoonful of Ferns Butter Chicken Curry Paste and half a cup of yogurt. An hour minimum, overnight is better. Then bake the chicken in a hot oven until done. While it's baking, melt 50 grams
