Off Topic Curry...

[Fez]

A large percentage of the population in those countries are Indian. They cook the food to suit their palates not British palates. They don't use curry powder

I didn't just go on a one week holiday.

Quite a lot, abroad and here, at home, are Pakistani, not Indian; although called or classified as Indian. When I visit, with local Pakistani friends, they usually order off-menu. The speed and art of clearing a plate of food using only a Chapati is simply astonishing.

My girlfriend had a Kashmiri the other day from Voujon. Had banana in it, literal slices of banana. It tasted nice but should have been a dessert.

I've been using a takeaway on Holderness Road opposite Morrisons for a couple of years.
RAJ SPICE - It's bloody spot on all the time.
Monday to Thursday they do a four course take away for £9.99
1st Course - Poppadoms and dips/salad
2nd Course - I usually choose Chicken Pakora or Tandoori Chicken Starter
3rd Course - Any main curry of your choice - Usually Lamb tikka Vindaloo and Pilau Rice
4th Course - Black Forest Gateux - great for cooling the gob.

The bloated content feeling after all that lot passes when the world falls out your arse the next day.

Highly recommend this takeaway though, its superb.

Thanks for that Jacket. I will give it a try

Kashmiri is sweet and you will often have lychee's and banana in it.

I like Kashmiri Lamb, my favourite restaurant in Southampton is the Corriander Lounge, they do not use banana or lychee and the dish is not too sweet.

Its the Indian version of gammon with pineapple on top, main meal and desert all on one plate.

Brought up in the army with curries accompanied by sliced/shredded/chopped banana, onion, coconut, cucumber, tomato, mandarin segments, apple, peach, raisins. It's how it was eaten in the days of the Raj, multi-small portions and vary the side with it.

Having a chinese sauce (spiced up a tad) chicken curry tonight and will slice banana over mine, along with small diced cucumber; bloody lovely.

I went in an Indian restaurant in derby after the play offs and after the meal came they brought what I though was a large mint on a plate! Then the waiter poured hot water on it and it unravelled into a hot hand towel! I was pissed and amazed!

How did it taste?

I get to deal with a lot of Asian people in my line of work. I have as a result been to some tremendous curry houses.

There's a place on the outskirts of London that I went to with some customers (It's a really well known curry house as it caters for a lot of the super wealthy Asian weddings in and around the UK) I can't remember the name which is annoying. But they were ordering some red hot dishes and they were astonished that I had such an asbestos palette.

Where do you keep your brush?

We always use Granny Smith apples, and often raisins, in our (chicken, beef, lamb or shrimp) curries. We also usually use Baharat Spice mix (or sometimes Garam Masala) in addition to the 'standard' curry mix. Note that if you omit the cumin, as we once did, you will be farting for days (and nights).

Just made and enjoyed a palak paneer, chana masala, basmati rice and garlic naan.

All from scratch.

I'd discuss the recipe but I fear I'd get slammed by Hatem.

Garlic?

Naan?


It's the future. I've tasted it.

So the past is now part of my future? The present is well out of hand.

Naan and soul - one will burn.

 

[dennisboothstash]

Poppadoms and pickles to start
Saag aloo paneer side dish
Keema naan
(No rice unless it's part of a deal in which case it's basmati)
Chicken main dish, usually Korahi (occasionally lamb or fish main, but never pork)
All washed down with Cobra or Kingfisher

No idea whether any of that is authentic or not, and I don't care...it's nice

Curry usually contains turmeric. A highly beneficial plant of the ginger family. Fill your boots !

The bag of chinese curry sauce they they sell in Heron(s) is great.

As mentioned earlier by someone, for a proper curry I make a base sauce which I then freeze and use when I have a curry.

Base sauce is pretty much all onion, slow cooked then blended with ginger, garlic and herbs and spices and tomato puree. Takes about 2 hours.

Wife prefers my korma to any other she has had (using ground cashew nuts and single cream).

I really like my vindaloo (using balsamic amongst other ingredients) and my Tikka Masalla (did you know it was Scottish?).

My naans are good also, but I agree parathas are better. Maybe a keema one.

For me Lamb makes by far the best curry. Chicken is okay though. Pork is great for sides but not for me in a curry, and beef just doesn't work for me at all.

This all sounds delicious. What's your address?

The other 2 side dishes we have are diced cucumber in yoghurt and a mixture of chopped spring onions and small tomatoes.
