I watched an Indian lady cook rice on TV and she put rice in a large saucepan (without washing it first), she put twice the amount of boiling water in the pan,. Brought it to a rapid boil, gave it a stir, put a lid on it. Turned the heat off and left it on the 'naughty step' for 15 mins. Perfect! Works every single time.

[@deeferry6520]

For years I washed my rice until the water came clear, then out of the blue I put it straight in the water, perfect rice every time, its only taken me 10 years lol.

[@jeanbrookes6300]

Looks lovely 🤤

[@paulinerelph]

Yes it does and so simple.

[@mrsgab56gillianbates45]

I'm 67 and this Curry as been around since I can remember they have always served it in the fish shops I have always used it lovely

[@rabsrealm]

My missus sent me to an Indian cook school for my Birthday. They taught us to make rice perfectly. I wash the rice beforehand until the water runs clear. Put it in a pot and just cover with water. Stick the lid on and bring it to the boil. As soon as it boils, turn the heat down to it's lowest setting and leave it to steam until the water is gone. Perfect rice every time :) After watching this, I think I'll make my own Chinese curry from now on :)

[@juliejr]

Think I'll give that a go ☺ thanks for sharing 👍

[@davidjones6470]

Great idea with the 🍚 I be trying that way next time great tip 🤘

[@ianmunday6655]

I bought this powder from Iceland today and followed this recipe. So so easy and tastes EXACTLY like a genuine takeaway ….now can you pls try and provide additional recipes for Chinese sides (eg prawn toast ?!) . Would be great to have a few courses for friends to come around and enjoy . Keep up the great videos…very entertaining and all very simple

[@lesleyfarrington4809]

Their southern style gravy is gorgeous

[@Catmad65]

Love your videos , normal folks with massive portions ..love it !

[@butlersempire]

Thanks so much!

[@GRPLiningServices]

I mean this in the nicest way, you two had me in stitches watching this. Off to the shops tomorrow to get that powder. Subbed!

[@denisereynolds2399]

I always buy this curry, it’s delicious and low in calories. I didn’t think the rice would work, but it looked perfect. I wash the rice before. Two cups of water to one cup of rice . Boil the water first, pop the rice in, stir once , bring it to the boil and lid on, turn the heat down as low as so just a flicker and don’t move the lid for 20 minutes. That how I’ve done it for years . Just shows there’s so many ways of cooking perfect rice. 😁👌 🍚 Your dinner looked absolutely lovely 😋❤

[@juliejr]

I have to agree the Mayflower curry powder is very authentic.. love it ♥ another brilliant video 👍

[@butlersempire]

Thank you so much 😊

[@paulhayden8467]

do your rice in the microwave. its 2 parts water to 1 part rice. wash it, put it in a bowl , a teaspoon of veg oil and a pinch of salt. 15 minutes on high power and a quick stir every 5 minutes. take it out and leave it covered for another 5 minutes and you will have perfect rice. keep up the good work.

[@danieljames2409]

'HOOKED'!! I have a cupboard full of that now! ✌️

[@OGMoses_]

I bought a rice cooker a few yrs ago and it’s as important in my kitchen now as my air fryer I recommend you guys buy one they are very cheap only around 15 pound and so simple every cup of rice add a cup of water perfect rice so simple and easy

[@maryharding6399]

Thank you so much for letting us know about the Mayflower curry sauce which I managed to get for 99p. I made a chicken curry tonight for our dinner and it was one of the best curries I’ve ever had. As you said, so authentic. 👍

Hi Sharon and Martin you guys make me smile and your teaching me a lot about different foods I'm in Australia we don't have the same shop's I highly recommend you guys get a electric pressure cooker there amazing l cook pretty much everything in mine especially rice it's perfect every time but my best recipes are pumpkin soup and chicken curry 😋 omg talk about one pot get cooked chook and add curry powder and all your raw veg. stock or water and cook don't realise the pressure let it do a natural realise open lid add coconut cream serve with mashed potato you will be amazed ❤️💙

[@butlersempire]

We are looking into that Sue.

[@gardenrose264]

Just a bit of advice, wash rice first to remove starch, add enough water per instructions and let it simmer till soft without stirring. Well done anyway.. Love your videos. Great for people just learning. 🤗

[@gerryhope3931]

I agree with Robert on how to cook rice. My method which is quite similar is this, for a cup of Basmati rice, I first rinse it under warm water rubbing the grains between my fingers as though I'm rubbing shortening into flour to make pastry. Once the water runs clear, if I have time, I allow the rice to soak for about thirty minutes, then, as Robert suggests, I bring two cups of water to the boil and then turn the heat down to the lowest setting. The only other thing I would do, which is a personal preference, I would leave the curry until it is almost cooked before adding the onion as I prefer it to be still crisp when it is served. Must look to see if I can find that Chinese curry mix in Canada.

[@rdfb2]

Great to watch your down to earth approach to cooking keep it up .

[@butlersempire]

Thank you so much

[@rach2977rr]

Hi Sharon, Martin! I’ve been making this for years and a good tip is add a star anise to the curry powder and water. Fish it out at end,AND a drizzle of toasted sesame oil for seasoning at the end. It’s a game changer 😍

[@butlersempire]

Sounds great!

[@glynisherridge4839]

Really loved watching brilliant Sharron and Martin looked really yummy thanks

[@mrboomslang8852]

Ok baby! Lol 😂 try two cups of water 1 rice! I don’t do it that method! Soak rice warm water half hour before cooking will help remove starch! Looks amazing guys!

[@seantynan1]

It's the suggestive undertones that make this a classic.

Lovely, the Mayflower Curry is great. Also worth trying the "Goldfish Brand" Chinese curry paste, sold in Tesco and Amazon. The pot is £2.65 and makes 10-14 portions!

[@ianmillar1139]

Goldfish is really authentic. Just like the takeaway. I've heard a lot of takeaways use Goldfish curry sauce.

[@stephensyrup2962]

We're also fans of the Mayflower Curry powder. My wife says she takes the curry mix off the heat once it has thickened up for about 15 minutes. This stops the slightly bitter flowery taste. Then she go back to it and adds some water. Then adds the ingredients.

Just sat down for my afternoon elevenses’ (you cant say I am going for my afternoon threeses’ because people get the wrong end of the stick). Anyway makes my mug of tea and twin bar look a poor job. Now I fancy chips and curry sauce. Many years ago I lived near a Chinese takeaway - every meal came with chips - chicken noodle + chips, beef chow main + chips. If you said can I have rice instead it was an extra 10p.
