The curry thread

[plaamook]

Just getting the ball rolling.
Since it’s probably the best form of food humans make it deserves its own thread.

[Heater]

I like to cook from time to time a BIR (British Indian Restaurant) style curry. I've got a great cookbook on it.
There's loads of YouTube vids on how to make them.

[MrFigg]

Grew up with Indian food. Big part of Glasgow culture. Lot of Indian friends. Used to cook a lot of different Indian food at home. Curries, daals etc. When we moved to Sweden it was almost impossible to find ingredients. Eventuality found a supplier in Mailmö who does mail order so now it’s big parcels in the post every month or two .

hello,

great thread topic

i have a collection of different lentils / peas to make different curries with rice
my ex girlfriend is from guyana
she would always make daals / curries with roti
she taught me how to eat with my hand

when i went back to albuquerque to visit my mom and step dad
they looked at me funny when i started eating with my hand

i also just got a japanese curry powder i'm looking forward to use

the biggest thing i learned about making a goodgood curry
is you have to 'banje' or cook / bloom the spices in oil before you start moving ahead

people who put raw curry powder on popcorn are weird

cheers and curry up,

j

i agree with Heater: there are great videos on the youtube for curry recipes

[plaamook]

Yeah. You need to fry the whole spices first. Absolutely. But not bay leaf. It goes weird. Def not dry chilli. Your nose will go weird. And your lungs.

hello,

@ plaamook: dude, i just got 2 slabs of pork ribs 2 days ago
one is gonna be regular bbq

your recipe sounds excellent
thanks for taking the time to type it in

i do not have methi leaves
but i do have fenugreek seeds
i have all the other ingredients

question: what type of pot / pan / dish are you making these in?
question: oven temp? (i do not own a grill / i have a gas oven that fires from the bottom, not the top)
question: are you wrapping the ribs in anything (foil / butcher's paper)?
question: are you cooking the 'whole slab' without cutting the slab into halves or anything like that?

again, great idea on kitchen topic

I cut the ribs up.
I cook them in a bog pot like a stew. Like a curry. On the stove top.
Don’t worry about the methi leaves. It’ll still taste good.

Just made a curry with fresh tuna. Magic

[plaamook]

I bet. Fish curry is great. Never had w fresh tuna though.

I’m winding up for a prawn curry this weekend. Maybe throw some clams in to. Wtf.

In my experience chicken curry is Asian and curry chicken is Caribbean. At least in the U.K.

I like em both. But if you’re going Caribbean I’d sooner opt for curry goat or strewed chicken. But really who cares. Caribbean food is all feckin great.
Going back to England soon...for a bit...and I’m gonna fill up on that stuff in london. Woop woop!
