Ok, what do we all like to eat with our favourite curry?
I feel lost without Pataks Brinjal pickle with every curry.
I also like a good chilli or chilli and lime pickle with a mild one or Geeta's onion chutney with a hot one.
The wife likes mango chutney with everthing (little does she know I have been upgrading from mild to quite hot ones ::) )
She also likes a yogurt and cucumber Riata with everthing.
Chopped coriander is mandatory of course.
What do you curryholics like and has anyone made their own pickles/chutneys?

Ooooohhhhh.......mango chutney, raita, poppadoms, peshwari/garlic naan, onion bhajis, chicken or fish pakora and dipping sauce, a bit of side salad, mushroom/keema pilau.....oh and a mango or lime khulfi for desert :P
:o Bloody hell! I sound like a right greedy frigger :o Although since I'm also curryKing, I'm always eating for two and he's really greedy ;D :P

Is a Yorkshire thing this mango chutey and riata?, the wife is from Dewsbury :)
-
I'm right next door to Dewsbury so it very well could be, Jethro ;) but then I've always thought your personal curry-taste is dependent on which town you're from :)
Which part of Dewsbury is your wife from?
-
Bath street, up the hill from the Bath Hotel. :)
-
Has to be mango chutney and onion salad for me, can't enjoy a curry without plenty of both on the plate 8)
-
That's only 5-6 miles from us Jethro :) We're near Whitley, which is a local place for local people LOL :P We've lived here for almost 9 years but we're still known as "them newcomers" ::) ;D Do you still visit up here and if you do, which curry house(s) do you frequent?
back to sides/accompaniments....I just can't like lime pickle ::) I've tried all different kinds but I can't get any of them down :-X

Good grief you northern heathen. Lime pickle is my absolute can't do without accompaniment. I have to say though, when I first tasted lime pickle I just couldn't believe how anyone could stomach it, but somewhere along the line I just acquired a taste for it. So much so that I used to polish off a full catering jar of patak lime pickle about every two weeks. I saw a program ( or maybe read about it) that had these bevvied up scoundrels betting each other that they couldn't eat a full small jar of patak lime pickle in one go. I just thought what's the big deal, that's one portion for me! :)

I can't stand the stuff either, it is an acquired taste but not one I'm to fussed about acquiring :P I wonder I how people can pile the stuff on their plates but then they probably think the same about me with a raw onion diced up on the side of my curry 8)

ROFL @Secret Satan ;D well I'm with cK (then again, I would be wouldn't I, he's the Michael to my LaToya :o Sorry CK :-* ;D )
SS, you sound just like my brothers ::) I may be a dirty heathen as far as lime pickle goes, but I can stomach far more in me mouth than they can ;) 8)
Lime pickle tastes like peppery earwax to me.....just don't ask me how I came to try peppery earwax, it's a secret :-X :-[
-
See now, if I was the suspicious type I'd look at CK replying at 6:28 and Domi in there at 6:47 and I'd say Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
But staying with the thread, an accompaniment I used to eat by the jar load was geeta's chilli pickle. Oh my god, I can just taste it now, it is just to die for. And when you're on the loo the next day that's pretty much what you wish you had done.
-
I don't mind a small dollop of lime pickle with a very mild curry like Korma as a counterpoint but generally don't eat the stuff.
Dom, the missus said "'as she been t' flat top?". A pub?

Try a cheese and Geeta's chilli pickle sandwich ...very nice, sorry wandering off topic :)

Well if Domi comes out with a range of over priced ebooks and videos with me backing them up you might have cause for concern :P
I also don't find the time to log in and read\reply to all the threads as me let alone as two people

Ha, I don't actually know why anyone would think we were the same to start with, have I missed something?
Sorry back on topic, the wife likes lime pickle so have the chance to try it on occasion but just don't get on with it. I'm also more of a naan rather than a rice man as well, you just can't beat scooping up the sauce with a fresh garlic & coriander naan.

Naan, rice,... rice, naan I always have both and end up leaving half of each ;D

I always find rice fills me up so quickly, I don't mind it but if eating out I can usualy polish of a curry and naan, add rice and I struggle.

lol SS you certainly strike me as the suspicious type luv 8) :P or should that be the type that I'm supposed to be suspicious of? :o hehehe BTW geetas chilli pickle is great with cheese on toast too :D
Dom, the missus said "'as she been t' flat top?". A pub?
Does she mean the one up bi'th'Albion? I've been past it a few times but I've not called in, I'm Huddersfield born and bred so I tend to stick to mi own side o't' tahn fer drinkin' lahk ;D but I'll travel for a good curry :D Where are you living now, if you don't mind me asking?
BTW CK, it was someone at A.N.Other board that was speculating as to whether we are one and the same and I've no idea why either ::) unlike them I don't mind ppl knowing who I am or what I look like - hence my interest in curry meets 8) but I'm with you on the G&C naans too or peshwaris with a nice northern mangoey pathia....eeh!!!! tha' can't top it! :D

She said, "aye 'appen and do yer know t' pub at Thunderbridge, can't remember t' name of it but Tim Taylors wer 24p a pint, this wor 1976" :)
We live in Romsey Hampshire (my home town).

Yep said it was the Woodman, and is glad to hear its still a bloody good pub.
She does not think there is a north/ south divide, there is good and bad in both but recommends the Imperial Palace at Batley, as for my own experiences the last one I had up there ( a delivered takeaway from Bradford of all places) was proabably the worst curry we have ever eaten). ???

I guess I'm kinda boring to the rest of you. I've never gotten too much into the "munchies" they serve while you're waiting, although popadoms aren't bad. It's something I'll eat if they're there, but I won't go out of my way for them.
Pretty much every time I order a curry out, I'll just forgo the starter and get an order of pilau rice and garlic & coriander naan (or plain if I'm feeling cheap). It has to be a pretty rare day that I can't finish a "standard" portion of curry and everything else. ;D
Yep... I'm a pig! :o
