Title: Left over curry isn't BIR curry
Post by: Secret Santa on June 15, 2007, 10:12 PM: I have seen lots of posts saying that curries left overnight taste better or more like BIR curries the next day. well perhaps they do, but do you think that the curry houses do this? Let's see, you go out for a curry, Mohamed says yes of course you can have the madras Sir, but come back tommorrow and it will be so much better. Ridiculous, right?
By all means leave your curry to marinate overnight but it ain't BIR ok?

The base is normally made the day before, but the curries are fresh.
Mind you, the leftover curry (from last night) tastes really good!
Curry breakfast again

Post by: Domi on June 16, 2007, 06:26 PM: true, santa, true, but I have to say that I prefer to order a take-away later on in the evening as they seem to taste better than when they've first opened :-\

Does anyone else think this or am I just mad? :D :o

They pre-make sauces which require time for the spice to be released. People who leave curry to marinate are doing the same things, they are just adding the meat in a different order etc.

I think what SS is saying, though, is that some people specifically leave the curry to "marinate" (i.e. once cooked) in the belief that it then better replicates a BIR curry. As SS rightly says, it might well taste better, but BIRs do not do this of course.

No, you're not mad Domi (at least I think you're not! :-\)!. I've always had my best curries at the busiest times (usually later in the evening). I try to avoid early in the week too (i.e. Mondays and Tuesdays). The busiest time is when the head chef is most likely to be there and things are really humming!

Curry Toasties hmmmmm? Now there is a thought. I have had many a cold leftover for breakfast, be it curry, chinese, pizza, kebab, whatever I can peel back off the floor from the night before basically. I dont know why I do it, and I wouldnt say that it particularly tastes better, but for some reason it seems to look like it will! I have also found beers several days later stashed somewhere around the house that I wasnt expecting, and I dont waste them either, although they definately do not taste better after a good airing.
