To be fair, I've always thought that spices would have been available back then but at what cost, is possibly what I'm getting at? Like today, I can't see many BIR selling a dish that actually contains saffron purely down to the expense! So, from a commercial aspect, would the BIR's have included some of the well known spices that we enjoy today, if it would of hiked up the price? If they didn't include them, then I wonder what they used instead? Curry powder would have been my first thought like HS suggest but would that have been it, chilli powder and curry powder?
Isn't the Rajah hot curry powder just standard curry powder but with added chilli powder anyway?
So we know they used spices then, But can you remember any of them? Ones that you personally bought.
I can remember Chili Powder (as you said), and also Curry powder (Vencat, light blue = mild, Pink = Hot) being available in the 60s/70s but not a lot of anything else, maybe some other members can think of some more, and put them on this thread, and we may well come up with some answers. Maybe they just used the curry powders :
That's a lot of hate you have there Phil.
Do you actually like it with spinach?
I am intrigued by the use of chard though, although I can't see it working as well as spinach. If I remember I'll pick some up and give it a whirl.
Hi Admin,When you do get some time, can you put these into an "Abdulah" category please......
seems a waste to discard all of the marinade. anyone ever cook with it or find a way to use it?
