Lets Talk Curry / Re: Your dedication to curries takes some beating.

Hey George... Listen mate - if you like McDonalds, then fair enough bro. I wouldnt want people to say they liked or disliked em just coz the majority did or didnt enjoy a McD's burger. If you genuinely enjoy their burgers, then fair enough.

Still think they taste like cardboard though! ::)   :D

Well yellowfingers, if my curry turns out to be a "not so good one", then I'm the type to sit down worrying about where i went wrong. I just hate making a dish that went wrong. I'll sulk all night if this happens. So if you think I'm sad, then so be it :D...I'm quite proud in being a curry perfectionist or a good cook in general.

I made a sweet & sour chicken the other day & wasn't happy with it. I couldn't rest until i had perfected it - so the next day, i went out and got all the same ingredients, jotted down on a piece of paper what i thought needed to be added to the recipe & started again. I cooked the dish, & to my delight, the sweet & sour turned out to be almost identical to the take away one i get.

Indian Curries are more complex. The effort you have to put in, to making a good curry, is more so. I prefer an Indian Curry to a Chinese meal any day. That's not to say i eat curry every single day. I like to vary with different types of cuisine. Arabic & Greek food is also delicious.

I never understood why McDonald's was so popular. Can somebody please please tell ?me what is so special about a burger from McD's which hardly has any taste to it. Fair enough if you like their food, but i just can't taste any good quality in their burgers.

Give me a Burger king burger any day - which has a lovely grilled taste & double the amount of salad they give you at McD's. I think people are ?hypnotized ?with the amount of advertising on the telly. Is it cool to be seen at McD's? Let your tastebuds do the judging, rather than coolness ??? over taste!

Ive been reading some of your posts... & the effort that some of you guys & girls put in - to finding THAT perfect curry taste, never ceases to amaze me!! You people are curry crazy & just as they say at McDonald's, "I'm lovin it."

I must add though, that one persons idea of a perfectly cooked curry, may? NOT TASTE AS NICE to another... meaning that we will never all agree on one particular perfect formula!!

 PS? ? ?McDonald's burgers taste like cardboard.

Vindaloo / Re: MY 99.9% Clone (Vindalloo)

So, roughly, how many litres do you get out of the base sauce for the vindaloo Darph? Also, for the vindaloo base sauce, how much garlic & ginger do you add?

Lets Talk Curry / Re: Poll: Vote for our favourite type of meat?

When creating a poll, there arenet enough poll bars? (5 max) - so i had to stick with the meats, otherwise it would have been nice to have included seafood too.

Seafood: King prawns for me curryqueen.

Tell you whats nice! Sweet & sour chicken, coated in a crispy batter. I do have a problem with Chinese food though. A lot of it - is quite sickly & before you're full up, you cant eat anymore. Oily foods like curries, don't bother me. In fact - the more grease in a curry, the more ill eat.

Duck: Never was keen on duck meat.

Pork: Don't touch it coz of my beliefs.

Beef: Probably just behind lamb in preference. McDonald's Bigmacs are crap compared to Burgerkings whoppers !! I just don't know why so many people prefer Mc'D's than B'king. I suppose its the amount of ad's they put on the telly.

Chicken: Mexican Chicken fajitas are so yummy. Couldn't stop eating them when i was in the states.

Lamb: Without doubt in my mind, the tastiest meat of them all. It probably sounds boring but boiled meat (no spices or herbs added) is Simply delicious !

Lets Talk Curry / Vote now: What's our favourite type of meat; Lamb, chicken, beef, pork, duck?
« on: August 29, 2005, 02:56 PM »
I'll start off by saying that were all aware that duck & pork are rarely, if not, ever used in Indian recipes. However - this voting poll doesen't necessarily base itself on Indian cuisine. what type of meat, tickles your taste buds?

Mine, has to be lamb - no doubt! I find that boiled lamb (no herbs or spices added & not sealed) is quite delicious. Sometimes... adding lamb into a strong dish - drowns out its flavour.

Lets Talk Curry / Re: Lidl chicken korma - closest to BIR? Only 89p.
« on: August 10, 2005, 01:33 PM »
I agree with goerge on kormas sold at lidl. Seeing that they were really cheap, i just couldn't resist buying one. Popped it in the microwave; expecting a usual 5/10 for a typical supermarket curry & was truly surprised how nice this korma tasted.

Amazing value for money & it put the other supermarkets to shame, considering their silly prices & quality of watery curries. Just goes to show you that sometimes, all you are buying is their fancy packaging.

I believe that these days, people are buying certian foods from expensive supermarkets, because its hip to do that! What ever happened to quality. If it tastes good, then forget all your silly, fancy (i shop at M&S) packaging.
