As it's getting into the game season, anyone ever made a venison curry? I'd imagine it could be quite tasty :)
Any comments/recipes?

Hey Garp,
Ive actually made a few now. I get my venison from Costco for ?7.50 a kilo diced and I would recommend you give it a whirl, especially as its in season and cheap... I cook it using this method: http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,12520.msg101721.html#msg101721 (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,12520.msg101721.html#msg101721) for about 13 minutes at full pressure.
I like it as a saag curry: http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,3600.0.html (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,3600.0.html)
Also pretty damn good in an ale pie!

Thanks Matt for the info.
I'm not a spinach-lover so might give the saag a miss :)
I find venison a pretty strong tasting meat so would think that a more heavily spiced curry would be suitable? I wouldn't want to Vindaloo or Phall it, as I feel that would destroy the venison taste completely.
Something medium/hot with subtle spicing and a bit of heat sounds good (and not a feckin' Korma, Andy).
Get your thinking caps on, all you experts :)

Nice meat but too dear ;D

Venison might cook well in the tandoor - it can be quite a dry meat, but the rapid cooking might solve that.

I love venison, I love beef, but I don't like them in Indian style curries, there's just too much meat taste.
If I was going to do something Indian with venison I'd be thinking coconut, lime and not tomato. Maybe something like a rendang.

Thanks fried. I just thought that with, as you say, the strong flavour of the meat, a somewhat heavily spiced dish might be appropriate :)
-
I don't think it's a case of the spicing, just that once it becomes too tomatoey you just wish you'd bunged in a bottle of wine and some ceps which seems to be defeating the purpose.

I would have thought that too much spice could overpower the flavour of the meat so a simple less spiced recipe such as Maddhur Jaffreys beef baked in yoghurt and black pepper may do it justice. Venison can become tough if overccooked, but I doubt that it would happen in this recipe.
Some people have complained that this recipe is bland but others have commented on how much they have enjoyed it.
A God heavy ovenproof casserole is a must for this dish, cast iron is great.
