? ? ? ? ?Please let me know how yours turned out.

? ? DARTHPHALL..... .....?

Hi Darth,? big fan of this method mate, another batch underway now all prepped, points i'll add to the mix,? if anyone is stuck for measuring rice just use 3 handfulls per person (generous ones, you'll get the hang of it) i also split the ratio 75% plain 25 % yellow turmeric or colouring) Dont know about everyone else but i like the portion of yellow to white just right! 50/50 is too radical for me..... 25/75 now that is sexy...... lol.

seperate pans as darths method water just enough to cover up to boil then lowest heat if you can use a diffuser on top of stove then do that, keep an eye on it for a few mins, rinse and hold in cold until you are ready heat the spice oil as above add the rice and blast for a min or 2 until steaming, depending on how long the rice has been prepped before,

ohh i hold it in cold for about 20 mins then drain it together with yellow and heat in one batch with the oil mix as per darths method ,if people follow that.

hmmm wifes just come in and said it smells like a bloody curry house.......? so should be in for a good one all round? ?

cheers all, good curries....keep the faith, as if we need to..

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... 

cheers for the help spice freaks.

hmm anyone else always have to have mushrooms in their curries? cant seem to kick that habbit......

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.

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
