At one of our curry houses called downtown Akbars in Sheffield they did a curry called chicken Nirali this was a creamy dish with cashew nuts in it and medium strength I appreciate there are many different versions of curries ,once we asked the chef what was in it and he hinted that he used carnation milk instead of cream for the finishing touches , any one any ideas on this ?

Hi thanks but if you read the method of cooking this there is nothing to make the dish of any sauce this was a very smooth sauce! In the write up it sound like the correct curry but I dont think this recipe would work! They have probably missed something major out.
-
You have to use your imagination, i have no idea what the curry looks/tastes or even what the texture looks like so treat it like you would if cooking a Korma, or use a Korma recipe with no meat added.
Add the main ingredients from the recipe link the onion, garlic, ginger, cumin, tomatoes in the pan first then add korma sauce see how that works out.
-
Yes that's what I will try similar to a korma but will add some tandoori marinade and I will use the carnations milk instead of cream!
-
Just use evaporated milk Carnation milk can be very expensive.
Asda/Tesco 55p a tin.
Also add, may be 1- 1.5 ladles of base to your korma sauce and treat this like you would a Base.
-
Thanks for your good help but the chef said carnation so will stick with that but yes a agree with what you said about the rest! Ps this dish dint have a coconut taste to it.

I use CA Korma recipe http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,3975.0.html (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,3975.0.html)
Adding base will calm the coconut flavour down or just leave out the coconut.

Looks good will give it a bash cheers!
-
No worries.

I agree. Deceptions like this are sadly all too common amongst Indian restaurants. I don't doubt that their nirali chicken is tasty and popular but, as for the newspaper having published a recipe which produces anything like it - no chance! I once tasted some kind of enhanced korma in a BIR and it was delicious, but I don't have a clue what it had in it. Some pureed fruit like mango and/or banana perhaps. I made one or two attempts at creating a similar flavour, and got nowhere near. Good luck with your attempts to recreate your local nirali chicken.

Carnation is just a brand name for evaporated milk. Your money though.

May be worth mentioning that evaporated milk is not the same as condensed milk. In British English, the former is unsweetened, the latter almost invariably sweetened. Carnation is sold in the UK as condensed milk.

Yes they are not the same
Evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk cannot be used interchangeably in cooking, because one product contains much more sugar than the other. Since sugar in sweetened condensed milk is cooked down and caramelized, merely adding sugar to evaporated milk would be an insufficient

Just made the prawn Nariel from chewy tikkas video it's turned out really well.
-
Looks creamy bob, but the video is Mick Crawfords - CBM - not mine ;D
Did it turn out close to what you were after?
-
Just to clarify the point on Carnation evaporated milk. Of course it does exist and is what the Carnation brand is mostly known for. But any old evaporated milk will do, if that's what you need. It all tastes much of a muchness.

Hi yes I meant to say by Mike Crawford but posted by you! But yes its not too far away from what I was trying to achieve but the original didnt have any coconut as I remember! its the wife who ordered it but as you do you usually
Try some! But she likes this version so happy days cheers chewy.

Found a couple of cans of this in a shop the other day. I've never seen it before so I grabbed some.

Does that mean I have to open the bottom of the can? I used some last night in a Spiced Choko curry. Very nice.
