I made this just after xmas with our turkey leftovers. It was one of the best curries i've made and the turkey (which i expected to be dry) was perfect.

I added some cooked green lentils to it - worked well. Love the sweetness and then you taste the chilli.

I reduced the sugar by half as it was a bit sweet for our tastes. Also (laugh if you will) I ordered fenugreek leaves online as we don't have an Asian store nearby. Turns out 450g will have to be left to my kids, there is so much of it 🤣.

I only have fenugreek as seeds or as a white powder as the leaves have such a powerful smell that permeates through the house however I try to store them. Which should I substitute in this recipe and when?

Better to use 1/4 tsp of the white powder in with the other spices!

A big hit in my house for a New Year’s Eve dinner. I made mine with Tandoori monkfish, as we are pescatarian or vegetarian, accompanied with Nisha’s naan bread and Nisha’s Indian fried rice (chicken fried rice recipe without the chicken, of course). I forgot to take a photo, but I’ll definitely be doing this again. Congratulations on another great dish Nisha’s.

I think as the turkey is older then no but if you use the sauce with fresh meat it freezes well
