Topic: Nirali chicken

[George]

Hi thanks but if you read the method of cooking this there is nothing to make the dish of any sauce this was a very smooth sauce! In the write up it sound like the correct curry but I don't think this recipe would work! They have probably missed something major out.

I agree. Deceptions like this are sadly all too common amongst Indian restaurants. I don't doubt that their nirali chicken is tasty and popular but, as for the newspaper having published a recipe which produces anything like it - no chance! I once tasted some kind of enhanced korma in a BIR and it was delicious, but I don't have a clue what it had in it. Some pureed fruit like mango and/or banana perhaps. I made one or two attempts at creating a similar flavour, and got nowhere near. Good luck with your attempts to recreate your local nirali chicken.

Thanks for your good help but the chef said carnation so will stick with that but yes a agree with what you said about the rest! Ps this dish dint have a coconut taste to it.

Carnation is just a brand name for evaporated milk.  Your money though.

May be worth mentioning that evaporated milk is not the same as condensed milk.  In British English,  the former is unsweetened, the latter almost invariably sweetened.  Carnation is sold in the UK as condensed milk.

Yes they are not the same

Evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk cannot be used interchangeably in cooking, because one product contains much more sugar than the other. Since sugar in sweetened condensed milk is cooked down and caramelized, merely adding sugar to evaporated milk would be an insufficient
