Well dear friends, wishing you all a great week ahead...Let our week be colourful,rich and spicy like a navaratan korma... To be honest I was not a huge fan of vegetables when I was a kid said "no""no" to chilli. But this is a great dish and I loved it. It has all my enemy vegies same time it is rich with coconut cream, sweet raisins, cashew and the gravy..yummy yummy. If you want to avoid ghee, cream,paneer and the dry nuts you are going to get a low fat curry..:P. Normally i tend to post a finished curry snap, but after looking at the rich colours I thought why cant I give it a go for ingredients this time. That is why my shot is like this...

The classic that came into prominence in the 1960s is the Beef Wellington. Named after the Duke of Wellington, this dish consists mainly the fillet of beef, finely chopped mushrooms, unsalted butter, pate de foie gras, puff paste, one large beaten egg white, egg wash, half cup of Sercial Madeira (a white wine from Portugal, dry) and about two teaspoons of arrowroot in cold water. Of course you will need a good half cup of beef broth and finely chopped black truffles. It is optional to use watercress to garnish. Here's a recipe video by Gordon Ramsay and you can watch how to prepare it:
