Vindaloo / Re: CA's Chicken Vindaloo
« on: April 04, 2011, 09:40 PM »
Looks great ! I have been a huge curry head for years, however I had my first Vindaloo in Michigan USA last Saturday. It was a Lamb Vindaloo and now I am hooked on them...

The problem with importation of spices into the USA they want to open everything to make sure it isn't hash or something....

I ordered some Curry powder from Canada, and when I got it, is was half gone, and open... YUCK no telling who did what to it. I am this weekend going to go on a hunt in the area for some out of the way Indian food market.

Is there a place online where one can get these mixes, I am from the USA and unfortunately the troglodyte like supermarkets here don't cater much to curry heads.

Lets Talk Curry / A Question of an Author
« on: October 21, 2008, 05:21 AM »
Just looking for some input into a certain author. NAOMI GOOD

I first learned curries from my Dad many years ago, and he got started with them while working in Saudi Arabia, and got into BIR cooking while on week long lay overs in London. He was a pilot for Fields Corp.....

So that was the cookbook he brought home to me... Just wanted some opinions on it from the experts.

Thanks for the opinions, I get the impression homemade is the way to go. I thus have tried a homemade curry finally and I have officially retired from purchasing Pataks.

I have to admit making one homemade I am more free to adjust the things I like spice wise, I did some looking on Curry powders here and also in a Indian Cook book by Naomi Good and think I have come to a favorate mix.

Now all I need to do is figure out how to make one of those clay ovens that they make Nann with hehehe

Supplementary Recipes Chat / Pataks and Sauces
« on: August 16, 2008, 05:07 PM »
I have read alot about Pataks brand sauces in here, however I dont see much information on any other brands. Is Pataks sorta the "Standard" for the jarred stuff. I am going to be making a home (scratch) made curry this eve from this site to see the differeance.

Just was wondering, I got on there site and they have alot of varieties and such, and my local Indian supply place called the Spice House has a ton of the stuff, and as we have a large Indian population here I see alot of Indians buying the stuff, although I do admit they do have a HUGE and I mean huge selection of spices.

Just was wondering the feedback, I have only used there Tikka Masala paste, and Curry Pastes.

Jasmine has a very aromatic quality toit, In my opinion Basmati has a nutti flavor where Jasmine has almost a floral taste. I like it and will have to retry Basmati with my curries....

I also will have to try that Thai Red curry... Sounds good.

Thanks for the warm welcome...

Supplementary Recipes Chat / Curry Pastes & Sauces

A question of the premade stuff. There is a small Indian food shop about an hour away from me, they have literally hundreds of premade jarred and packaged sauces. The lady reccomended PATAKS...

I tried a few sauces and LOVE them, however I also like making scratch stuff. Can I get the Curry men and ladies opinions of the premade sauces.
