Park Life 71 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 You can make a canny curry by using the pastes that you can buy. Then you can add a bit of fresh chilli, ginger or whatever to suit your tastes. Instead of cutting the ginger, grate it - world class! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 You can make a canny curry by using the pastes that you can buy. Then you can add a bit of fresh chilli, ginger or whatever to suit your tastes. How funny is that I found this thread to ask if anyone had a good curry recipe! Has to be mild though. I had a grand recipe that mum in law gave me years ago which I used to use and cant find now. (making from scratch mind) Last night I used a jar one and added mango chutney, sultanas etc but tbh it wasnt good. I'm on about the paste in jars rather than the sauce in jars btw. The latter is pretty naff. Cant recall seeing pastes in jars alex, who makes them? That would be good, I can add what I like then. Pataks for example. Available in all good supermarkets, as they say. There's some canny recipes on their website too. You can even mix pastes (like madras and tikka) to do a chilli masala etc. Obviously you like the mild ones so if you're doing something like a korma, you also add cream, almonds and so on. Add a few sprigs of thyme to their Karai sauce with some chicken and it's spot on. They had a big sale of the stuff at the local sainsburys; 72p a jar. My cupboard is full of jars now!

Ginger shouldn't be fried at the start with the garlic but added in the middle (after water) phase. Edited May 9, 2009 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 How appropriate that a thread started by Gemmill on cooking should end up with a dicussion on ginger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakehips 0 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Curry sauces = shite imo. Make your own for a far better taste. Not to mention the lack of additives and salt in your own curry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Inspired by Meenz, I made a chili from scratch tonight! Fried some mince and onions, then added a teapsoon of a d.i.y. chili mix (I used 2 tsp of paprika, 2 tsp of cumin, 1 tsp of thyme, 1/2 tsp allspice and 1/2 tsp of garlic powder to make it. Got enough left over for another chili some other time ) and a diced chili pepper. Served with rice and a generous dollop of sour cream. Magnifique. Except even though I had washed my hands, I scratched my nose and managed to transfer chili powder to my right nostril. Agony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophyshy 7066 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I love chilli, have it usually twice a week. Use Bhut Jolikia (sometimes known as Naga Jolokia). The hottest chilli on earth at over 1,000,000 scoville units. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoville_scale I have, once, burned my stomach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
