Chicken Curry by Anne

We have spent most of the week-end at the WOMAD festival in Reading. We spent loads of money on food which was a bit disappointing and when we got home we thought it might be nice to try to make something like a WOMAD curry. This is a really gorgeous curry that even my children will eat. It has very few ingredients and is so easy to make. Go on, give it a try, it's yummy.

What you need: 2 onions 2 cloves garlic 1 piece root ginger 4 - 6 chicken breasts (you can use thighs) 1 can of coconut milk 250 ml chicken stock 1 teaspoon ground coriander 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon ground tumeric 2 - 3 fresh fat green chillis 1 handful frozen peas 1 packet of Naan Bread

1. Slice the onions thinly and gently fry them in a little bit of oil, adding half a teaspoon of salt and stirring them around. They should not go brown. 2. After a few minutes add grated ginger, chopped garlic, chopped chillis and the spices. 3. Let this cook for a couple of minutes. Add the tin of coconut milk and the 250 ml of chicken stock. Bring to the boil. continued below

4. Now add the chicken, which you have chopped into chunks. Let this cook for about 15 minutes without a lid on. 5. Now add a handful of peas or beans if you have them. Cook for a further 5 minutes. 6. If you have some, mix 2 teaspoons of cornflour to a bit of water. Add this to the curry to thicken up the sauce. If you don't have any, you can leave the sauce runny.

7. Serve in a bowl with rice and a naan bread at the side. It is absolutely delicious and so easy. You can sprinkle it with chopped fresh coriander and put a blob of plain yoghurt on the side. Just to prove to you that even children eat it, here is Leah in her WOMAD shirt clearing her plate! Have fun! Anne Author

Music Reviews - A Champion Night - Welly Club 16th January By Cilla and Greg
	One cold night in January (actually it was bloody freezing) my mate Greg and I went along to the Welly for a night with Champion Sound, the Reggae and Dancehall magicians who are currently gracing the Hull night club scene with their individual and blistering repertoire. We arrived early - about 10.15 and the club had a cold feel. There was a steady trickle of people arriving and after an hour or so, so the music began to build .. Read more...

Music Reviews - Pave - Promotional CD by Nick Quantrill
	It's often said that bands use the opportunity of recording as a means of 'capturing the live sound.' What a load of cack! It's an opportunity to sound better than you do live! Due to the pressures of working far faster than a signed band would be expected to, and in lower quality studios, the recording process must be incredibly difficult for your average Hull band.
