Topic: Ageing Veg for curries?

[RobbieC]

Hey guys,

I recently came back from a 6 week trip to the states to find my onions (some growing). As soon as I opened the fridge I was greeted by this unique sweet smell that I can't seem to get into my curries.

I cried, aged onions!! The smell is exactly how many an Indian resturants I've been to smell. As supermarkets always import unripened fruit and veg for longer shelf life I'm convinced this has a big play in my curries.

Also, a green pepper was there. Wrinkly but boy did it taste good. So sweet and flavourful.

I'm going to make a base/curry with these aged veggies and I can feel it in my bones that this is going to taste magic.

Has anyone else tried this out?

Welcome Robbie

What you doing keeping onions in the fridge, mate?

let us know how the base goes. I threw away a wrinkly green pepper today but may have to recover it from the wheelie bin if things go well

Thanks man

Well I told my mum when she was keeping after the house to put them in there as they had started growing lol I had a sneaky suspicion that aged onions are the key to a top notch base

Yeah I'll keep you posted on here

P.S Rescue that golden (pepper) and give it a taste! xD
