Curry...!!

Tonight it's lamb kofta Ceylon....and today I've done the Christmas cake!

fan of hot sauces

late to reply on this.
I like Tapatio brand to a moderate degree, same with Tabasco. Sometimes they hit the spot for something I'm eating.
Hot sauces here are kind of like hoppy beers--people going crazy for them.
There are tons of choices even at the regular grocery store. When my head starts sweating from the spice, that's too much for me.

Cauliflower
Spinach
Peas
Diced carrot
Onion
Ginger
Tomatoes
Toor dal

Spices
Kashmiri chillies
Coriander
Black cumin
Cassia bark
Green cardamom
Turmeric

Looks delicious; you should be able to inflate a Zeppelin today.

Four homebrewed beers to go with it meant I could have inflated two

Blind drunk..?

my take on a vindaloo (the spices at least)

turmeric - 1 teaspoon
cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
garlic powder - 1 tablespoon
mustard seeds - 1 teaspoon - ground
coriander - 1 teaspoon
cumin - 1/2 teaspoon
ginger - 1 teaspoon - ground
cayenne - 1 tablespoon
cardamom - 1/2 teaspoon
cloves - 1/2 teaspoon - ground
black pepper - 1 teaspoon - ground
sea salt - 1 teaspoon - ground

 

[Clint]

Interesting use of the cinnamon and ground ginger...

 

[Clint]

Another batch of base gravy...I shall use some later... probably!

Is there one ingredient that every curry has to have? When I was at sea I remember watching the Bhandaris crushing spices out on the aft mooring deck near their accommodation. These were then fried. We had Indian deck crew and Pakistani engine crew, so there were two Bhandaris. These guys made samosas that were the best I have ever tasted.

i'd go with
garam masala
coriander
chili powder
turmeric
cumin
mustard seeds
as the basics and build on them depending on what was being made.

 

[kelper]

But I said ONE ingredient, and I meant a single one, not a mix like garam masala!

Cumin

How long do you marinate the brick so that its tender

I use Dan Toombs recipes for this. Bit of faff every couple of months but saves time when cooking.
I’ve also done my own tandoori meat and added that to my curries. Makes a big difference!

 

[kelper]

Mackerel curry for me tonight!

It get 3 minutes on low...then it sails through the neighbors kitchen window effortlessly!
