Just one more tip re curries, for those that have never been there. Next time your near Brick Lane, try one of the numerous curry houses down there. A lot of them don't have a license, and it's Formica tables, etc. but,there's a couple of off licences in the street where you can BYO, and, of course, that makes your beer cheaper too. The curries are cheap, and bloody good.
I like a bit of fenugreek in some of mine. Also, done a few that start with funugreek seeds and mustard seeds. I'd disagree about the Turmeric, I think it adds good flavour. Just don't get it on your clothes, or your carpet!..
Biryani or Jalfrezi always has to go in the oven for me, not fussed on Masala. Korma isn't even a curry so let's not go there
I only have a Korma or Tikka masala at home. When I go out for a curry I always order something else so I don't look like a noob
We agree! A Korma is not a curry for me but I can see that there are alot of chefs on not606....great read and I'll be getting my curry on in a bit I'm making it saucy...going for a Dopiaza...I do like fried onions and got me some moroccan red chilli just to mix it up a bit...all with some garlic naan...then it's a big zoot to get me relaxed...ohh how I wish Spurs were playing tonight.
Pathia is one of my favourites, its like a hot, sweet n sour/curry flavour. Initially you might find that thought disgusting...try it!
I would say it is an artificially manufactured 'curry' in order to appease the British pallet since spice is not predominant in English cuisine. Traditionally curries have always been savoury dishes within the countries of their origin...I may be wrong however.
I like the taste of the creamy curries, but you need to get some heat in them, the Caribbean and Far East use coconut milk which is lush, so to combat that just add more chilli if you're cooking or add hot sauce to one from the takeaway!
All curry's artificially manufactured for British tastes. It's a bastardisation of a bunch of Eastern cuisine, tailored to what caught on over here. Korma's an abomination, though. I think it says so in the Bible somewhere....
The word curry is a British Raj invention, but is based on actual Indian recipes - Madras, Vindaloo, Jalfrezi are real Indian dishes. Probably comes from the word Karai, which is the pot it is cooked in. Korma is probably based on the Pasanda, a dish served at Feasts and contains cream, nuts and fruit. A Lamb Pasanda, properly done, is fantastic. Pathia is whole different cusine. It is actually a Persian dish, not Indian at all. Delicious all the same. Screw this football talk No, NO!
They use it the same way the Indians use yoghurt, and the mexicans use sour cream, to combat the heat. A good Thai Green Curry will still pack a hefty punch, despite the coconut milk. A lot of Brits get it wrong. if their curry is too hot, they use water or beer to try and cool their mouths down. Neither of which will work.
Water actually makes it much worse. Although I like the excuse of large amounts of alcohol to try and increase its effectiveness.
I am my own wikipedia and to prove it I might be wrong about Pathia, could be Dhansak I am thinking of.
