Topic: Jamies Friday Night Feast - pork vindaloo

[Ghoulie]

Did anyone see Jamie Oliver prog last Friday?

He did a pork vindaloo along the lines of the originalish Goanese recipe.

I saw this too, the smoking charcoal / cinnamon at the end interested me.  I wonder how much flavour it imparts - I suspect Ill have to try it out to find out, but not sure its one for the kitchen.

A couple of years ago I did a similar thing using charcoal to add a smokey flavour at the end of the cooking process of a BIR style curry.

It definitely worked but not as strong as it did with a creamy/korma like curry.
I've not used the technique since as I was put off by comments of potential harmful health effects.

I made a youtube video.

Interesting technique and Great Video PetrolHead.... I like the addition of red wine also

If you remember was the curry (vindaloo hybrid) too dry ?  When watching the video I was willing you to add more liquid.

Good video - looked a bit too pasty consistency for my palate - as Peter Kay would say ' Ast tha got nowt moist to go wi' that?

Hi P360
(Jamie burning olive oil, who would of thought)
Nice to see you use Butter Ghee as this age old method should be.

Have you done any more curries lately using this method James.
cheers Chewy

Yes I think it was a bit dry. My technique was quite rightly criticised at the time. 2 years on I should make another video and have another go with the smoke technique.
