Lets Talk Curry / BIR secret ?
« on: November 21, 2011, 07:58 PM »
Hi All
Many years ago pre KD book days I had a mate who was a dustman ( metal bins in those days) he said you can learn a lot from peoples throwaways.We ended up talking curry he told me about loads of carnation milk cans I knew the owner enough to ask him he said" they add a spoonful in the last 5 mins
I have not seen it in any recipes but tried it many times much smoother and touch sweeter.
Worth trying Let me know thr results
Not a state secret just never mentioned
ps NO I do not work for carnation LOL

Lets Talk Curry / BIR v home curry
« on: November 21, 2011, 05:41 PM »
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that when preparing a curry at home, from base sauce, to finished meal , our tastebuds and sense of smell system has been saturated or numbed a little.
When I go to a curryhouse and the meal arrives I am drooling and getting every sense working, I have prepared currys for friends and they can describe that exact curryhouse feeling and when I go to theres
Is this the mysterious "curry secret " our senses not being overloaded. Its the same when I eat a curry next day it tastes better and smells better
Any thoughts on this theory

Curry Base Chat / Best Onions for a base sauce
« on: November 20, 2011, 03:40 PM »
Hi All :)
I would like to share my experience of onions in a base
From my cooking bases I have learned that fresh onions are very important taken from growing to the pot
Here in the UK most onions are small and sometimes a bit on the bitter side. where as onions from
the med areas are larger and sweeter having grown quicker
I grow a variety called Kelsae or Ailsa craig they are large 1kg is normal I then bake them in a baking tray cover them with foil for 1 to 2 hrs low heat
Make your base in your usual way and taste the difference m,m,m,m,m,m,m
