Quote from: PaulP on October 27, 2010, 03:36 PMTo my mind a chilli-con-carne should have paprika and cumin but not corriander.The recipe does look a bit too much like a curry by the inclusion of corriander.I agree with that.

Quote from: Secret Santa on October 27, 2010, 10:47 AMLean mince, by the way, is the worse thing to use. You need a decent bit of fat in there to give flavour (properly fried out at the start). Fatty mince also gives a better texture. If you don't like the fat content just spoon it off at the end...........But lots of chilli con carne recipes do specify cuts of 'solid' beef.

Hi rdhotvindyThe question is when does a chilli become a curry?I reckon if you add paprika, pepper, cumin and coriander as you have, then you've probably crossed the chilli/curry line.Lean mince, by the way, is the worse thing to use. You need a decent bit of fat in there to give flavour (properly fried out at the start). Fatty mince also gives a better texture. If you don't like the fat content just spoon it off at the end.I still think it looks like a good recipe but I'm dubious about calling it a chilli.
Quote from: redhotvindy on October 26, 2010, 09:57 PMhere's my own chilli recipe which I've developed over 20 years of cooking - anyway its pretty simple and effective Many thanks for sharing your recipe. Perhaps I'll give your recipe a priority, for the next time I make one. The lime sounds interesting, and quite a lot too. I've never even added lemon juice to any chilli I've made so far. Are the sliced chillis in a bottle easy to find? Asda perhaps? And would you say they're important, rather than using 'any old type of chilli'?

..........................Redhotvindy - Yeah I'm not far from Street, whereabouts is that shop?Ta,H.
Hello all, I'm going to have a go at making a curry base then curry soon and was wondering if there is a website where I can order a 'kit' to get all the spices I need.I live in rural Somerset and my choice of asian shops is pretty limited to say the least. Also a good curry base recommendation which is fairly easy for my first attempt would be handy too.I've been making currys for years but after reading through this site I realise I've got to up my game!!! ;DCheers,H.Quote from: hcoool on September 09, 2010, 06:11 PMHi H Welcome - newbee like me - I too have been making curries badly for years!!!! Anyway theres a good spice shop in Street if its close enough - Somersets a big county!!!
