Lets Talk Curry / Thank you all for your input to this site my curries have become BIR for sure.

« on: November 13, 2013, 10:04 PM »

Ok so tonight's meal was the best yet. the base i used was a bit of a mash up from here using chewwy tikkas base ingredents with extra carrot that a took from darthphalls base with the additional gramma massala. adding some of CA's tandoori and masala mix. turned out to be a very sweet tasting hint of curry style broth that on its own is good enough to eat.

cooked

Blended

Sived
Then following CA madras recipe removing the chilli from it I made one large mild madras that I then split into two adding chilli to one and Uncle Bucks Pathia mix to the other (with the help of DalPuri in the trainee section)

both of witch turned out fantastical the pathia especially, better than my local BIR.
unfortunately my spicial fryed rice (following Curryhells recipe) was not so good i burnt it a little and used a bit to much gee. but still it was more than edable and my poor skills should not deter anyone away from his rice besides the extra Gee and hint of charcoal the rice was extremely tasty.

In addition u followed CA's Sheek kebabs and once again a fantastic recipe and easy to follow instructions.

Kebab mixed

Cooked

The meal

the brother inlaws plate

This meal was all about trying out the new base and spice mixes while giving pathia my second attempt,(the first was a massive fail ended up unedible).

And most of all to my Good friend Hairybiker a massive thank you for introducing me to this site the amount of knolage and weth of reading material has turned me from a curry failure into someone that can make a mean curry . and I owe it all too you Guys and Gal's.

Now what to cook next?? any suggestions

Trainee Chefs / Beginners Questions / Pathia mix can and how should it be stored.

thanks to CA and Chewwy tikka my curry's have been coming along leaps and bounds. finally learning to chance the spices to suite my tastes and needs.

Pathia has always been a favorate dish of mine i plan on using a hybrid of daths and Chewwys base(not because i love starwars honistlly). slightly tweeked CA spice Mix and tandoori massala.

and uncle Bucks Pathia mix

Pathia mix

100 ml hot water
25g coconut block
3 tsp tamarind
2 dsp sugar

Now for the questions i have the Tamarind as a block de shelled and compacted. How would that translate to 3 tsp?? i know i must leave it soak in warm water over night so is it 3tsp of the remaining liquid once the seeds have been removed? or an approximated value of the tamarind pre soaked? or am i a million miles away and should of bought the paste form (bit late for that now btw).

in addition to this only a very small amount of the pathia mix is added to the curry is there a safe suggested way to store the excess mixture? ie sealed jar or frozen and if so what would be the shelf life of such a product.

I do apologize for the amount of questions just everything has been going so well not a single bad curry since i joined. (a friend of mine hairybiker suggested the site to me) I dont want to break the cycle as my confidence in the kitchen has been going from strength to strength.

P.S once again a thank you to everyone who has contributed to this site my self and my extended family really apreciate all the help and recipies (even if i do take a little credit for myself

.

Kind Regards

Hi im Richie AKA Currynoob,

introduce to this site by a friend of mine Shady, not a bad cook in general but every time i have tried to make any form of curry it has turned off barley eatable. Currys have been something i have avoided due to IBS but making them myself will allow me to change ingredence that set it off so hoping i find what i am looking for here.

currently trying chewytikka 1 hour base and i will be following up with Cory Anders Madras wish me luck and i will let you all know how i get on.

P.S some fantastic tutorials on here maybe one day i will be able to make one of my own.
