Hope everyone here is doing great and nobody was infected. Some useful information to protect yourself and your loved ones:

Know How it Spreads


  • There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
  • The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus.
  • The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.

    • Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
    • Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
  • These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.
Take steps to protect yourself

Clean your hands often

  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
  • If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

Avoid close contact

  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick
  • Put distance between yourself and other people if COVID-19 is spreading in your community.

Lets Talk Curry / Shemin's Curry Paste's
January 26, 2013, 04:58 PM
Hi,

So I was contacted by www.shemins.co.uk who kindly sent me some of their curry paste to review.
So here goes...

Background on Shemins
QuoteMy family makes award-winning curry paste that we sell to farm shops and independents around our area. We came in with the idea of making a fresh, healthy top notch curry paste that has no junk in it and is a chilled product, rather then ambient. We are a small business (just me and mum) and we are doing well in the shops.

I would love to get our name out there to curry lovers and your site is full of them. Is there any way you and maybe some of your top contributors can review the product and we can do a thread with a promotion code for your members? I can send some samples if your up for doing something like this.

REVIEW
So the curry pastes arrived in a nice padded envelope with instructions to refrigerate immediately once received.
Shemin's provide a link to their site for recipes to be used with the paste and they also included some on the inside of the product wrapping.  I decided to try the Hot Curry Paste.


Once i had thought about the recipe i would use i embarked on making a prawn curry using the 'hot' curry paste.

Ingredients



3 TBS - Veg Oil
2 TBS - Shemins Curry Paste
1 TS - Whole Cumin Seeds (Toated in Pan)
1 Red Onion - Diced
10 - King Prawns
2 - Green Chili (Sliced)
1 TBS - Tomato Paste
100ml - Passata
3 - Cherry Tomato (Sliced in half)
Ginger / Garlic
Coriander (1 TBS)
Squeeze of Lime



I started off dry frying the Cumin Seeds until fragrant then added the red onion



Once the red onion is browned I added the Garlic and Ginger



I kept it going for another 2 minutes and stirred with a wooden spoon and then added the Tomato Paste and Shemins Curry Paste



Once that had cooked out for a few mins I added the Tomato Passata



I cooked that for a few more minutes before adding the Chili and Tomatoes



This bubbled away for a few minutes and then i added the amazing king prawns;



I cooked this away for a few minutes until the prawns were cooked (3 mins max), then I served with Basmati Rice.




The final dish served on a plate


I also got a cheeky beer in as well as this was a spicy dish


Conclusion
The total cooking time was around 20 minutes and i believe the finished result was an excellent looking dish.
The curry paste is labelled as hot but after the cooking process it had dulled the heat somewhat.
The Paste comes in oil but with the addition of the veg oil it had a good oil content.

For me this was a nice convenience product that perhaps would be a good addition to a dinner party as a quick dish that could be prepared.
It is certainly not a BIR style curry but i do not believe Shemins is trying to recreate BIR style dishes.

I am unaware of the price of this product and have not looked into this so if it is reasonable and you fancy something different that will guarantee a quality looking curry then this could be a welcome addition to the fridge.

I believe one other member 'CurryHell' has some paste on route to trial and review so I would be interested to see how he get's on...

All the best
