Hi, Hope you enjoy this forum as much as I do! What are your fave curries??
-
Thanks for the welcome,? hmm curries well first got introduced to "heat" as it were via my auntie who used to date a west indian guy from trinidad ohh going back 25 years when I was 12, there used to be Encona hot pepper sauce and a curry usually on the go when i used to visit every month or so.... hooked to heat since then really seriously into curries since early/mid twenties ...
trying to capture the restaurant taste for last 10 years or so i guess. <>?%*"? flip damn and blast...? something to work towards in pursuit of perfection ehh...?
generally into vinadaloo/phall, occasionally wander to a chicken saag/madras but my heart lies with the former.
will be creating a dish today looking at trying a recipe off this site should be fun.....
looking to capture the ultimate subtle sulphur garlic background with correct depth,texture balance of the sauce taste that ive encountered on a few occasions in a life altering moment of experiencing a curry, that words simply are incapable of explaining the encounter of dining in gods own kitchen.
the simple pleasures of food :)

"DarthPetes"
well, on scanning some the great content on this site and weighing things up I opted for a hybrid of Darths base and pete's ... on stove top method.. I'll call it? DarthPetes? cheers guys Very encouraging almost licked the blender clean..:)? cooked a total of 4 1/5 to 5 hours last evening night... skimmed off some oil (reading spiced oil etc ) some is still lying on top of the onion base but getting tricky to skimm off.... :)
I'll be going for vindaloo stylie on tonights finalization (eyeing darths vinda) with that rice n spice in microwave method... which will be a first for me even considering microwave with any contact in curry cooking...?
Has anyone experimented or have any comments on the use of powdered garlic in final stages? I am trying to perfect as I said before that subtle background of garlic with the vindaloo flavour/heat layered on top...? I dont mind wandering off tradition or backbone of recipes to tailor recipes to taste? hence my fiddling with garlic.....?
fresh garlic maybe fried at start of final curry stage in spiced oil and powdered to sauce later? sure ive read that the powdered garlic is responsible for that throaty after curry sensation we sometimes get.... but wary of balancing catching fresh garlic too far and buggering the entire dish...
so would appreciate any feedback from garlic experts here..
cheers

"DarthPetes"? base.
-
Hi fx, looks good!
I would try pete's recent demo'd garlic and coriander tarka at the end of the dish
-
I've put one desert spoon of Garlic powder in todays Vindalloo & it does make it soooo Garlicy but very gooooooooood ;D
-
Darth, was that 1 DSP for 1 portion? Thats a lot of garlic! ;D
-
Sorry mate,no its for the whole batch made from a 1.5 liter bag of frozen base gravy.
Hope this clears it up for yaaaa ;D

I have never seen it first hand, but I have been told some restaurants add a sprinkling of garlic powder to many of their curries.
It is a last moment addition prior to putting the lid on the carton
One "chef" who told me this was the author of the "secrets" ebook
I corresponded by emailed, about ten times, trying to get better results
He also mentioned adding ground coriander ,near the end of cooking a curry, too
I have now seen that done so it makes me think that, somewhere along the line, was a genuine source of information.
By the way, that's a great photo of the base!
Excellent
-
And to add to the evidence,having bought a Lasan Chicken (Garlic Chicken) from my local Bir ,i opened the carton to find white powder on top of the Curry,i tasted it to find it was Garlic powder,but as we all know the ground Spices are at their most pungent when uncooked so it is logical,do you not agree peeps ;)
-
Hi,
Yes I agree here. I think garlic powder does have a place in some of the BIRs we see. I have used it myself but it is very pungent and leaves one heck of a lingering aftertaste and complaints from the wife about the "garlicky gob"! No kissing tonite dear!!!!!
Use with care.

Or "You wreak of Garlic...go away"! :o

well the curry turned out well, actually ran out of fresh garlic, but tonight i'll be spooning in amounts that even vampire hunters fear to handle...... got some beef cooked up... which is somewhat unusual by curry standards, beef curry ? are we in the 1970's ? well retro night maybe. i'll leave out the raisans and fruit though... 8)
cheers for the help spice freaks. :)

hmm anyone else always have to have mushrooms in their curries? cant seem to kick that habbit......
-
Ahhh yes Mushrooms !!! I remember putting them in, in my early Curry cooking years,& surprisingly i thought it worked well ;).
