Pictures of Your Curries / Re: Uncle Ron's Mutton Pattie and Basic Chicken Curry

Your curry pics always look spot on. I made paneer from scratch last week - found some A2 milk at local supermarket. Turned out lovely and soft but when I made palak paneer with it, it was a bit on the soft side. I took pics but the upload thing wouldn’t work again so you’ll have to take my word for it.  Rik’s vindaloo tomorrow methinks and hopefully the upload thing will work.

I made #3 of Rik’s vindaloo last night. This experiment used stripped rotisserie chicken instead of raw and was nowhere near as good.  Still a decent curry though.
Next experiment marinating chicken in the vindaloo paste then cooking final dish.
This morning I made keema pav/ pau from the Dishoom book and with a Herculean show of restraint, didn’t polish it off but stuck in fridge overnight to make keema puffs tomorrow.
Indian ground lamb pasties in puff pastry - delicious.
Pics to follow.

Anaemic peas I can forgive. Chips with Indian curry though I cannot! 😂

Vindaloo / Re: Rik’s vindaloo
« on: September 13, 2024, 02:15 AM »
Third cook of this vindaloo. This time using chicken stripped from a rotisserie bird from Costco and threw in a couple of red chillies. Straight cook and eat. No resting.
Still fantastic.  Rested version cooked with raw chicken is better I think, but my search for vindaloo is over.


PS: tried to post pic using the same process as used for years, but won’t show.

Good catch Livo, forgot that. I’ll definitely have a look next time I visit our enormous Indian supermarket.

Hey Mick
This is the vindaloo paste.

And this is the dish.

I didn’t add the roast potatoes but at some point will try with boiled spuds just to see.
It’s a great curry for me.

Vindaloo / Re: Rik’s vindaloo

Yesterday I made my 2nd Rik’s vindaloo. Cooked in the afternoon, to allow it to rest a little before reheating for the start of the NFL season.  You can keep your wings and hot dogs America!  I only ate half during the game and it was very good, but saved half to let it rest overnight. I reheated it this morning for ten-ses (never seem to make it to 11am) and had it with a hot dog roll, split, buttered and browned in the cast iron pan - very Mumbai pav style.
The vindaloo was even better this morning. Overnight resting is the way, grasshopper. I wonder what the science behind it is?

In between vindaloos I made a mild dish so Mrs Robbo could enjoy, as I have no standard base in the freezer.

Chicken tikka lazeez was rich and delicious.

I’ve been watching way too many videos from this guy.

Way better color than my effort.  Need to be more patient next time. I wonder if the garam masala helped the color any? I didn’t add it. Next time. Kitchen smelled wonderful while doing it though.

Vindaloo / Re: Aussie IR Lesson - Beef Vindaloo
« on: August 28, 2024, 12:28 AM »
I’ve never had a good result with store bought pastes but will look for a vindaloo paste and see if there’s onion paste too, next time I visit the Patel Bros enormous wonderful Indian supermarket.
Pataks just never did it for me. Except their very old small canned vindaloo curry sauce that was very thick compared to the jarred stuff. That was decades ago though.

Interesting about the vinegar. When I cooked Rik’s I used apple cider vinegar. His vindaloo paste absolutely ruined my silicone spatula though. Even after 3 runs through the dishwasher it still smells of vindaloo paste.  On the plus side,mi now have another dedicated kitchen item for curry.
