Title: Midweek curries Korma and Vindaloo
Post by: SoberRat on January 29, 2017, 01:37 PM

Made a small batch of base on Wednesday using 3 onions. It produced enough for 6 curries but I just made 2 the same day. Starting with my chicken korma and a vindaloo made without methi and coriander. My reason for cooking the vindaloo without methi and coriander was because of a recent takeaway I had that didn't have these ingredients in.

As a comparison here is the takeaway I had

I have to say the flavours were similar but I imagine the differences are purely down to the variations in the base recipe, mix powders and souring ingredients. My version contained just pre-cooked chicken, boiled potato, G/G paste, tomato puree, mix powder, chilli powder, lemon dressing, base gravy and ketchup.

All the best

The last curry I ordered out was a vindaloo. Pretty standard with the single token chunk of potato - except the potato tasted as if it had been pre-soaked in the vinegar before adding to the dish. Rather than adding the vinegar to the sauce. I've ordered a fair few vindaloos in my time but not came across that before.

Hello Mike. The vindaloo I had was a bit more generous with the potato and it certainly hadn't been soaked in vinegar beforehand. It was a very nice curry which is why I tried to replicate it. I did find a piece of cassia bark in it but apart from that there was nothing else in the sauce that I could identify and there was absolutely no coriander or methi leaves.

All the best

It was really nice actually. So much so that the next curry I made was a vindaloo with vinegar soaked potato. Might try the ketchup though next time.
