Post by: Mark J on March 28, 2005, 09:53 AM
OK starting Thursday night and finishing tomorrow morning (Ive had curry for breakfast before  ;D ) how many curries have people had over easter?

I myself have had 1 takeaway curry and cooked 3 more curries (one of which will be a Thai red curry tonight from Madhur Jaffreys ultimate curry bible, sacrilege hear you cry!)

I made the sag bhaji from the curry demo.
Also prawn balti and Veg  vindaloo
Very nice
The leftovers tasted better the next day!
 I bought loads of ghee on Friday for cooking experiments.
Having decided that they do not contribute to the missing flavour, I am wondering what to do with them!!

I cooked a vindaloo on saturday with a bombay potato side, I had a vindaloo takeway last night while I was out and im cooking another vindaloo tonight along with a madras.  On average I must eat 3 or 4 currys a week, more at the weekend.

I just cooked a chicken madras to use up some base I had lying around from previous curries and while I don't want to get anyones hopes up it seemed to have 'the taste'. I haven't actually eaten it as I made it to freeze but I did taste a spoonfull and then tasted a bit more that had fallen on the work surface.

The only difference to how I would normally make things is I used loads of garlic (4 cloves crushed and this is a meal for 1) and cooked it in half vegetable ghee/half veg oil (about 2 or 3 TBSP of each).

I wont know for sure until I actually eat the whole thing (I'm tempted now but I'm stuffed from a gorgeous Thai curry) but it seemed extremely close, as I was cooking it I thought it smelled familiar.

I will report back after eating the whole thing.

OK, I have just eaten this and while this may attract skepticism it most definitely tasted 100% like a genuine BIR with that taste. I couldnt believe the smell as I microwaved it, spot on.

My gut feeling is this is based on the following factors:

Loads of garlic
Heat (I just cooked it as a meal for 1)
Not having cooked it before I eat it
Veg ghee

Yes i think not having cooked it is a main factor !I (we) seem to be too critical of our work . I'm sure at some stage we have had the missing taste but over looked it as we are too busy telling ourselves it's not quite right . I even smell the takeaway foil containers over and over again thinking i will find the link . I will be training the wife to cook my next curry   ;D But for now i'm off to the Indian for a takeaway  :P
