Google 'easy curry recipes', tons of stuff.
You'll just need some meat, onion, garlic, any veggies you want to go in, stock cube (or just water will probably suffice) and some spices. Whole spices are better than powdered stuff, fresh even better if you can get it but aside from fresh ginger and nutmeg haven't seen anything else in Tesco. Also some corriander works well with most curries for garnishing. Some chillis too if you like it hot.
Or do this for something fairly quick:
Dry roast (fry) some whole spices on a lowish heat until they start to smell really aromatic.
Make a paste by blending together garlic, chillis & fried spices, add a teaspoon of vinger, oil or water if too thick.
Fry onions for a couple minutes till soft.
Add curry paste and meat and fry on highish heat for few minutes till meat is browning on outside.
Add water or stock and turn down heat to simmer.
Cook for 30mins + or till when meat is cooked & tender.
Add corriander.
Done!

Na Boa's patented Lamb Pasanda recipe:
Ingredients:
ghee (could use oil, or butter even)
(EDIT: nearly forgot, stick a couple of bay leaves in at the beginning too)
650g - 1kg lamb, cubed
2 medium onions, diced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 piece fresh ginger (about 1.5cm by 1.5cm)
1 red chilli
1.5 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon turmeric
1.5 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
0.5 teaspoon ground cloves
0.5 teaspoon cinammon
2 tablespoon youghurt
approx 0.75pt water
100ml approx cream
50g almonds, ground
1 bunch fresh coriander
Method:
Heat up the ghee in a large pan till it's fully melted and hot.
Add in the diced onions, bay leaves and chopped chilli (seeds and all). Cook till the onions are nice and translucent and going a bit golden.
Add the lamb then the garam masala straight afterwards. Add the garlic and then grate the ginger into the mix whilst the lamb's cooking. Cook together till the lamb's nicely browned.
Add the turmeric, cumin, coriander, cloves and cinammon. Stir in the yoghurt and mix well. Add the water (you could even add a bit of red wine here, were you so inclined) and cover the pan. Leave to simmer on a medium low heat for half an hour or so until the lamb's nice and tender.
Stir in the cream and the almonds, mix well and simmer on a slightly lower heat for another 5 minutes.
Take off the heat and garnish with the chopped coriander leaves. Serve it with rice, bread, etc. For some well nice rice, cook it with a bit of turmeric and some saffron in the pan. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........................

Are you ready for this?! Really, truly, incredible....
Microwave Mug Cupcake
Servings: 1
Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
* 4 Tablespoons flour
* 4 Tablespoons sugar
* 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
* 1 Egg
* 3 Tablespoons milk
* 3 Tablespoons oil
Directions:
1. Mix dry ingredients in mug.
2. Add egg and mix together.
3. Add milk and oil and mix.
4. Microwave mug and contents for three minutes.
Or in picture form....
This recipe has been floating around the Internet for a while but I had not yet been brave enough to try it. Blog reactions vary from “gross” to “amazing.” Let’s admit it: a single serving cupcake, made quickly and with the minimum of supplies? A cupcake whenever you crave one?! It must be too good to be true! Here is what I discovered…
Ingredients and Tools: Flour, sugar, egg, cocoa powder, milk, oil, mug, and recipe. Also, you’ll need a teaspoon (not shown) for measuring and mixing.
Ingredients and Tools: Flour, sugar, egg, cocoa powder, milk, oil, mug, and recipe. Also, you’ll need a teaspoon (not shown) for measuring and mixing.
First, mix four tablespoons each of sugar, flour and cocoa powder in the mug of your choice.
Crack one egg into the mug. (If you are not practiced at this, you may want to crack the egg into a separate dish and then transfer it - but don’t worry, cracking eggs IRL is not as hard as in Cooking Mama.) Mix the egg very well with the dry ingredients.
Almost done! Add three tablespoons of milk and three tablespoons of oil. Mix completely.
Microwave the mug and its contents for approximately three minutes.
This part looks scary. The cupcake is going to rise in a large column out of the mug…oh god…
…only to collapse when you take it out of the microwave.
Results:
At this point I was looking at the unattractive top of my “cupcake” regretting this experiment. It looks awful.
Guess what? It tastes great! I was afraid it would be dry and rubbery, but it wasn’t - it was moist, and delicious too! The consistency was different than an oven-baked cupcake, more dense then I expected, but nonetheless chocolaty and satisfying! I will definitely be making this again.
Gone are the days when we must plan ahead for our cupcake cravings!

The leaning tower of cupcake:
Mine was slightly rubbery, probably overdid it slightly. Not a bad flavour though considering. I reckon it'd be better still with a pinch of cinnamon.

I bought 3 punnets of kiwis for a £1.. thinking of making this, but feel the recipe calls for alcohol too... gin possibly 
Kiwi Granita
Ingredients:
* 1 cup sugar
* 10 kiwis
* 2 lemons
Preparation:
1. In a small saucepan dissolve sugar in 1 cup water over medium heat. Let cool.
2. Peel kiwifruit and roughly chop. Put in a blender or food processor. Zest lemon to yield 1 tsp. finely shredded or minced zest. Add to blender.
3. Add juice to kiwis.
4. Add cooled syrup to kiwis and whirl until mixture is smooth.
5. Pour mixture into a metal dish and place in the freezer until it just starts to set, about 1 hour. Using a fork, scrape set or frozen sides into the looser middle every 1/2 hour until firm, about 4 hours total. To serve, scrape entire mixture with a fork to lighten texture.

I thought this was a joke! Does not everyone know how to boil eggs?
Actually no! When I was overseas to visit a friend, her husband of 2 years was telling me of some of her failings in cooking and housewife duties. He pointed at the ceiling where there were some black marks asking me to guess what would they might be. I told him to enlighten me, and he proceeded to tell me that she didn't even know how to boil eggs when they first got together. I told him that was rediculous, everyone knows how to boil eggs. Aparantly NOT!
He claimed that she left them boiling and went to sleep, and woke up by the sound of explosion. When the saucepan had boiled dry and overheated, the eggs aparantly exploded all the way to the ceiling coming down on his head. They tried to clean the marks to wipe off the memories of the episode, but made more mess trying to scrab!
Hence they decided to keep the memory of egg boiling ignorance for future reference!
I thought it is worth passing on the humorous event! I guess one needs to know how to boil eggs-afterall!!

1 bag of Quorn 'chicken like pieces' (someone who likes red meat should report back on the 'beef like pieces' they've just produced), 1x200g tub of cream cheese (Philidelphia or the like), 1 red pepper chopped to fuck!, 1 tin of sweetcorn, 1 bottle of sieved tomato juice, 1-2 habaneros chilli - as to taste, 1 piece of ginger (about 2cmx2cmx1cm), 3-8 cloves of garlic, 1 lime, allspice, cumin, coriander (leaf). Optional fennel & chives if you like those sorts of tastes.
Fry Quorn pieces in oil and while frying add cumin & allspice (a bit of allspice and a good bit of ground cumin). Add sieved tomatos, cream cheese & squeeze half of lime into pan with Quorn & simmer for a couple of minutes, then add ginger by putting in garlic press. Follow this with the garlic (in same garlic press - hey saves on washing up!). Next chop red pepper and however much chilli pepper you want - 1 is about right, 2 if you like to make your brain piss out endorphins! - and add to pan with drained tin of sweetcorn. Add a bit more allspice & cumin along with coriander leaf, chives & a little fennel & just say simmer for 15 mins. Serve it with roast potatoes, but be careful to let it cool a bit as the molten cheese part will take the lining off the roof of your mouth if you don't let it cool a bit (speaks from repeated incidences of mouth burning piggery )
