Lets Talk Curry / Re: Potentially good find on YouTube..?

« on: November 21, 2023, 12:51 AM »

Interesting…I’ll talk to people at our local Indian market, see what I can find. If chillies are labeled Kashmiri in there, it’s as close as I’m going to get. I really thought I’d get some curry in this week but Thanksgiving going to interfere with that except for leftover turkey curry probably Friday. Maybe I’ll get to something the weekend.

Talk About Anything Other Than Curry / Re: Sous Vide

« on: November 21, 2023, 12:47 AM »

I wouldn’t say regularly but sous vide is great and not much effort really. Makes great pork chops, cooked to perfection. Should use it more often but like a lot of gadgets, I don’t make the effort enough. Except for my instant pot which gets used a ton.

Looks a fantastic way to start the day Livo. I get frozen naan from Trader Joe’s but never tried the US Aldi for anything Indian. Will go check.

Lets Talk Curry / Potentially good find on YouTube..?

« on: November 19, 2023, 04:44 PM »

This morning chef Imran appeared in my YouTube feed. The universe is listening.
I just sat and transcribed his chicken madras recipe…which looks delicious.

And also the vindaloo sauce he uses to make it.

I’ve never seen coconut milk in a vindaloo or madras curry but worth a punt. In the sauce recipe he describes soaking Kashmiri chillies overnight but they don’t look like the dried Kashmiris I have. Mine are much larger, on the left whereas his look like the regular smaller dried chillies I sometime use, on the right.

What do you guys think about the chillies he uses?
His channel looks to have a good selection of dishes.

Talk About Anything Other Than Curry / Latest book purchases

« on: November 05, 2023, 04:29 PM »

I’ve made several Mexican dishes after watching the Cooking con Claudia YouTube channel. Absolutely superb so buying her book was a no-brainer. Full of deliciousness. Some of her recipes use the instant pot too, which makes for quick results. Strong recommend.
I also happened across young Koreans, Aaron and Claire. Equally good dishes and another purchase of their book. Followed by a number of Korean ingredients.
The rice book was bought after reading a BBC.com article. Hard to resist a book dedicated to my favorite foodstuff.

Lets Talk Curry / Re: lentil curry?

« on: September 24, 2023, 05:37 PM »

My first introduction to dal was in Ahmedabad, India. Dal Makhani is a wonderful, buttery dish of black Urad dal and not dry at all. I recently made this ‘house dal’ from the Dishoom cook book. It’s an investment in time, takes 4-5 hours but mostly hands off. In India they cook it 24 hours.
Perfect with naan, although I didn’t have any.

I bet it would pressure cook easily. Not a ‘curry’ but worth a try.

Best will in the world, that’s not going to inspire anyone. Cook that base. Make that curry.
This weekend. Be strong. 😂
