A mate has started a curry club locally, so people turn up with a curry, and they are marked by everyone to find the winner.  I want to win the next event  .  The category is beef or vegetarian curry (not Indian specifically).  Any winning recommendations please?  I havent made BIR curries as yet as per this site, perhaps its time to start (not that you would find beef curries in many BIRs) Thanks!

Hi vinotinto, it depends who gets to judge the dishes. I made one a few months ago for a competition here at work and proceeds going to charity. I made a lamb korai and thought it was splendid. Unfortunately one of the 4 judges doesn't like spicy food which resulted in a victory for the korma.

I would have thought you shouldn't be on a curry tasting panel if you can only eat a korma!

Cheers,

Paul

Yes its a difficult one, it will be impossible to satisfy everyone.  The last one was a Thai style curry, I did a veggie one and came third (top of the veggie entrants mind you). I want to improve on it this time!

A local curry club - what a good idea!

I think it should be illegal to make 'racist' type comments about any particular type of curry, though e.g. korma or anything else.  It's quite possible for a good korma to taste better than a mediocre Madras, or vice-versa. It reminds me of something else I disliked about 'undercover' Dave - the way he made out Chicken Tikka Masala isn't a real curry.

George, I never said a korma was bad in my post, just the fact that a curry judge should be able to take more spice than a korma.
