Lets Talk Curry / Re: Spice blends and very nice tins
« on: April 10, 2024, 11:59 PM »
I mainly do my curries outdoors on the grill because the spatter is a pain to clean up.  I just give my stainless grill a good clean at the end of each season before storing in the garage.
Interestingly, we tried cooking a steak one winter and the propane turned to liquid in the feed hose.  Gets chilly in Chicago.

Excuse the image size, was trying to get good focus on very small text

Green label Malabar for shrimp, fish, cabbage, cauliflower, potatoes, spinach

Orange Bharuch for daal and roasted veg.

Red Kashmiri for rice, cream or yoghurt dishes, chicken and lamb kebabs

All will be tried as soon as I get back from Japan at the end of the month.

Lets Talk Curry / Spice blends and very nice tins
« on: April 06, 2024, 03:08 PM »
The missis picked this set up for me. She’s nice that way.



Bonus feature to the chance of trying new masalas though, these little tins have 2 lids and the internal one has a very satisfying snap when pushed into place. A great airtight fit and perfect for re-use.


I just made a fresh batch of garam masala from the Dishoom cookbook and mix powder I think I got from this site. Works very well with my instant pot pressure cooked base.

8 coriander
7 turmeric
5 cumin
4 curry powder

Spring is here and almost time to get the grill out from storage so I can curry it up outdoors.

I’m a covert to some of the US measures, purely for convenience. The cup, 1/2 cup etc is so easy to use.  Not keen on the use of ounces though. And don’t get me started on water freezing at 32 degrees…

I’ve been a couple times on business but this is just over 2 weeks vacation, hitting 6 cities. I honestly think there’ll be so much to enjoy of Japanese food, I may not even think about Indian like I do here.  Looking forward to Japanese curry very much.

Lets Talk Curry / Japanese BIR?
« on: March 16, 2024, 04:26 PM »
Me and the missis are off to Japan next month and in her extensive research she read that Japanese Indian restaurant curry is just like BIR.  I was already looking forward to the culinary experience but now, I have the chance to try vindaloo in a country I’d never have considered. Pity I have to fly 14 hours though.

My only experience of Japanese curry is this paste, which makes a perfect sauce like I used to get in Chinese takeaways in the UK. The extra hot version is very good.

Banging them out Rob…
I need to stop looking at your pics at 7:30am.  My breakfast cuppa doesn’t cut it.

Well there’s a name I haven’t seen in ages. I remember well making his base, mix powder etc and still have printed off copies of transcribed recipes somewhere.
Congratulations chef on your new venture. Wish I was a bit closer to come visit myself.

Good for you Phil, but don’t think Doordash will fly a vindaloo to Chicago so have to keep trying to cook myself for the time being…

Looking good as usual.  Mine are never in the freezer long enough to forget what they are. Love the idea of a lucky dip. Nice pre-Christmas surprise.

Interesting (to me) note.  I’ve been to a Haldiram’s plant in India. Sold them some nitrogen generators to flush snack food packs with N2.
Definitely going to visit Aldi now.
