Carnation Condensed Milk
« on: February 08, 2013, 08:14 PM »
Use Carnation quite a bit - it adds great BIR flavour to Korma (daughter says my korma better than take away!), CTM, and recently used it with butter chicken with great results.

Used to use tinned stuff - but it only lasted for a few days, then had to throw loads away. This squeezy bottle last 4-5 weeks easily - much better than tinned stuff. Got it from Asda, but seems not all Asdas stock it.

Good tip! I usually freeze my extras after making a Chasni, but the squeezey bottle makes much more sense, even if it is a bit more expensive.

there's never any lying around long in my fridge - what's not used in curry goes in a real posh coffee (carnation, coffee, a little whiskey followed by water off the boil)

Are we talking the unsweetened evaporated milk or the sticky sweet condensed?
I've heard of putting the evaporated in base gravies etc but would have thought the condensed a bit sweet?

It is the thick condensed stuff - best stuff for a good korma, or even a CTM I would think.
