Curry Base Chat / Re: I bought the curry base from a restaurant
« on: March 06, 2005, 11:37 PM »
This is very complicated....is it worth
all the bother? this is now science for sure.

My local served up a dish last night
that was red and over the top with tom.

Me and Ann were both thinking, if they
can't they use red colour at the mo,
so in go the tom's.

very poor vindaloo, very poor!
not going back for a couply of weeks.

Graeme, ( I can not make a curry i give up fame) ha you remember!!

Lets Talk Curry / Re: Tesco frozen diced lamb
« on: February 28, 2005, 03:58 PM »
I used the same minced lamp from the same store,
cost about ?3.80 for a large own brand pack.

I used it for kabab's and will use it again.
I simply mixed the lamb with the spices and tested.
After a few adjustments the kabab's was spot on.

I still can't emulate the mint Raita that comes from the
take away though:-( some one told me to use Colemans
mint sauce, yet to be tryed.

I cooked the Kabab's on the BBQ, they were moist,
not oily, fatty or to dry. With a nice texture, most of the
fat ran out.

However I used the same minced lamp for a pie, and it was horrid,
with the mince sitting in a pool of fat, even after boiling the mince
and draining, I poured boiling water over it too!

But for Kabab's etc great stuff.

Lets Talk Curry / Re: I dont blend very well!!
« on: February 28, 2005, 03:14 PM »
Thanks all,

I am now guessing I blend the base two much, it goes like a think soup.
I can see the stick blender working better, may be i just seen some
onions on the top that they missed, or it had not been blended
when i saw it, that sounds right

The pot of gravy i saw looked watery, light brown ( slightly red)
with red oil on the top. I went home and made a curry that night:-)

Pete, I will post a curry when i get round to it but from a book I have,
sweet and sour king prawns, others may have cooked it.

Lets Talk Curry / Red Lobster...
« on: February 26, 2005, 09:53 PM »
I just wished i had took a pictures, not included in the story was the 4 day
"red lobster facial" with the added "skin peeling off effect"

I think dillion's paint stripper would have been a better name for it.
Indeed the horror on peoples faces as I walked up to them in my daily work
was enough to remind me i was now transformed into a stinking red lobster,
the smell was so bad it was not polite to ask any questions!

Believe me it this stuff really gets under your skin, and removes it!

Lets Talk Curry / I dont blend very well!!
« on: February 26, 2005, 07:45 PM »
I have come to the conclusion some of the people on this site
are better cooks than they think they are, honest.

If we were to combine our efforts like a take away,
we would be as good for sure.

Now none cream dishes...mad arse, etc..

I dont blend the onions.
Chop them thin and fry for 20- 30 mins, add
garlic and ginger fry 5-10 mins, add tom's (and spices
if any) i add pepper and salt, fry again for about 10 mins
then add water to cover, and the same again, and a bit more:-)
Simmer for an hour or so.

I have see the base in kitchens, it does not look blended to me.
Some onion is still seen, but well broken down under the red oil.

When i blend it all goes wrong, my base changes colour and flavour

(great for pasanda etc i guess that type of base but i am talking
about madras etc diffrent creature)

The final cooking in the pan seems to breaks down the base further
but leaves a little texture:-)

Has anyone had any luck with blending for mad arse etc...I sure dont,

I get better results with out blending.

"I disagree its all about preparation" thats not what i was asking.

I trying confirm the link between smell, taste and eating the
darn thing. My taste buds are wacked after cooking.

Yes! it is better a few days after.
