It may be hard to imagine quickly preparing a curry from scratch, but tonight Theo Smith will show you how. Theo, chef/owner of Masala, will demonstrate some of tricks he has perfected and shared with the staff at his popular new restaurant. Theo's shortcuts help speed the creation of his favorite curries, somehow without sacrificing flavor or depth.

One lesson from tonight's instruction will be how to grind, prep and store complex combinations of spices, fresh herbs and of course, chiles. They're all key to the flavor of Theo's curries and efficiently preparing them is one key to keeping his curries quick.
