Talk About Anything Other Than Curry / Re: Lost web link!
« on: May 08, 2018, 04:46 AM »
The Celtnet.org site is already closed down Les.  This link is to an archived snapshot of the web from a few years ago. I'm not sure how long these archives last. To be honest, and to give credit where due, I only found it after Phil illustrated how he was able to unearth another lost site for someone.  I then applied his principle to dig the Celtnet.org site archives out.  I had previously found it to be a treasure chest of interesting and unique recipes and formula and I thought it was lost for good.

Phil, if as you say, the obvious (to me), allusion toward me by yourself, in this otherwise unrelated post, was in fact a joke, I failed to see the humour or the need, but I give you the benefit of the doubt and retract my call for you to "pull your head in".  My mood upon reading this yesterday was not conducive to having the micky taken but you weren't to know that.  Other than the fact that it was me who posted the original requested link to the Celtnet.org archive, I had made no contribution to this thread and found your reference insulting on first read and ?  :)  did not strike me as an explanation of jest.  To set the record straight, I never confused Cassia with Cinnamon and our previous related discussion was just that and a clarification of the close botanical connections between the various forms of these spices.  I failed to see the relevance or humour in your post. I have no "chip on my shoulders" and even if I did have, I would reject any reference to such, based on my geographical position or nationality as utterly ridiculous.  I do not require any pity but thank you for your kind offering anyway. :-* :-* :-*

Glad you found the archived site useful Les. Not fully functional but still a valuable resource. I've been dragging as much as I can from it before it disappears. Lack of money and a huge job made it unworkable for the site admin. Such a shame.

I actually gave you credit Phil for my being able to relocate this valuable internet resource. Obviously someone found it useful. Here is an Australian saying that I first heard from my Scot grandfather.  https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Pull%20your%20head%20in

I have defended you in the past. Never again. CT was right. Ignore the troll above Over and out

The other site members must be laughing their heads off by now. BIR site where the main topic is pizza bases.

Here's an interesting piece that defines how to make a good neapolitan pizza, one of my faves. I cant get the oven temp at home but all the other info is useful

Ed

I love the detail in the prescribed conditions for this simple pizza.  It reminds me of the rules for making a baguette. I'll have to lift my game here as I usually include a splash of Olive Oil in my base which is apparently NOT ALLOWED. This will be on the to eat soon list. 

There are some pretty good pizza pictures here and they make me hungry.   Sverige, I have never come across Turkish Kebab inspired fusion pizza but I'm keen to give your idea a go.  The sauce recipes look good. 

Dominoes out here are currently running a New Yorker pizza promotion, selling big 16" floppy pizza that you can fold the individual slices.  https://newyorker.dominos.com.au/

Mak, I found that I was already giving the garlic a pretty good cook anyway so I didn't need to adjust my timing much. I guess the point is to reach the spot where you don't want to risk burnt garlic.

Taste and texture is a different matter. I found it bland and quite squishy, sorry to say. It's not for me, especially at the price they want for it.

I've never been a big fan of Tofu having only tried it very rarely and long ago.  Your comment here Sverige is interesting and I'd agreed with you until a week ago.  I've recently been introduced to Inariage / Aburaage in the form of Inari Sushi (seasoned seaweed salad topped). These things are absolutely delicious and show that Tofu does not need to be bland.  I've bought the frozen packaged Inariage but I'm always interested in from-scratch-preparation.  My research into the methods of making these Japanese style Tofu pockets shows that Tofu can be infused with flavour. It is just a process and it takes a little time.

While this isn't exactly how the Inariage are done, it is similar.  I found this mentioned on this site https://www.seriouseats.com/2014/06/shopping-cooking-guide-different-tofu-types.html, and thought it might be useful to you.  The site also describes all of the different types of Tofu and the appropriate uses of each.

"Marinating: One the biggest myths about tofu is that it soaks up the ingredients around it. This is only true with hyper-porous frozen tofu. Unless you have six hours to sous-vide the tofu and completely transfuse the internal moisture content, don't expect a lot of flavor from a marinade. This myth was publicly busted in Deborah Madison's book This Can't Be Tofu!, in which she champions the glazing method to infuse tofu with flavor. To glaze, pan-fry the tofu

My apology for doubting your authenticity after a 6 year gap in posts Emann. I would have posted this earlier but for over a week I have been able to see nothing other than a database error message on this forum site.  As your last post is still the most recent, I suspect I wasn't alone.

Mmm. 6 years between posts?   :o 
Where was the coconut tamarind curry Emann?
I have a really nice bridge to sell if your wanting one. Sydney Harbour from one side to the same side. Ferries run from there every half hour.

Threw this together just now. Delicious.  RJ has always been a favourite of mine. This is an adjusted Misty Ricardo style with some of my home made Balti Paste and some cloves added. Otherwise it is as per his ebook recipe.  I still think it could use more clove.

I also wrote this, in the opposite vein, as the last sentence of that paragraph.
Mind you others say that is must contain lots of butter.
The word Makhani apparently has 2 meanings in language for Indian people. It is used in relation to either the use of actual butter (ie; with butter) or being of a buttery consistency but without the use of butter ( ie; as of butter).  Cream, yogurt and oil will all provide this effect without the use of butter.  Makhani without butter is common and this is the point that ELW has shown, It surprised him as it does others, including me quite some time ago.  As with mostly all menu dishes in this field of cooking the actual nomenclature is a bit loose.


 Some forums don't allow this and force you to open a new thread - bad practice and so irritating in my opinion.

Not necessarily in all cases.  Sometimes revisiting an older thread is more appropriate and provides "better housekeeping".  I do agree with you on this point, in this instance though George, but perhaps ELW was in a hurry and didn't have time to edit the whole quote he was looking for and move it to an appropriate thread or create a new one.  I understood what he meant without issue and your post has perhaps reminded Garp of a recipe he'd like to revisit. No harm done.
