Topic: The secret of the Karachi curry

I stumbled on this while searching usenet..........

_______________________

I know the secret of the Karachi curry.

I've often wanted to share my secret with the group, even started
typing once or twice then changed my mind, I mean, the secret cost
me a lot of time and a lot of money, why should I pass it on for
free.

I'm feeling generous tonight, I'll tell you all the secret ingredient
and how I found it.

The secret is not realy an ingredient...it's the lighting.

I spent a long time experimenting, trying every combination of the
usual spices, then some not so usual spices, even some damned rare
spices, all to no avail, I ate curry every day for months but never
got it right. Then I slipped a waiter there 50 quid to get me the
recipe, I followed the  instructions to the letter, it still wasn't
right.

Eventually I sat in the Karachi night after night watching every move
the cook made, memorising it, then I went out and bought pans and
utensils which exactly matched theirs, I set about making an exact
copy of a  Karachi curry...it still wasn't the same...something was
missing.

I racked my brain, didn't sleep nights knowing I'd missed something,
racking my brain as to what it could be. Then in desperation I decided
to try the lighting, it was the only thing different, the Karachi has
a row of flourescent lights over the range, maybe the ultraviolet
light somehow affected the taste.

Next day I bought a florescent light and hung it over my cooker, that
night I made a batch of curry and left it simmering on a very low
light, next morning I got up and got a spoon...I'd done it...I'd made
a perfect Karachi curry...it was the greatest day of my life.

You see what happens is the moths hit the flourescent light and knock
themselves out.

Hi all,

I think if this moth thing was true we would be able to buy packets of moths in the asian supermarkets! I have never seen them, but then again I've never looked.  I have a butterfly farm near me, do you think?...... maybe not,

And anyway that would only work in the summertime, in winter the curries wouldn't taste the same. AAANNNNDD what about the vegetarians.... NO DON'T BELIEVE IT

cheers all,

Blondie

In Winter time we would have to use freeze dried moths !!!

I think if this moth thing was true we would be able to buy packets of moths in the asian supermarkets!

Can't say I've ever seen them in packets but I've often seen them flying around freely in my asian grocer's shop. I thought it was just poor hygiene management, who'd have guessed that they were just providing the freshest ingredients. Catch your own.?

haha.... this reminds me of a joke

Man goes into a doctor's surgery and says "Doctor Doctor, I think I'm a moth"
The Doctor says "What made you come into my surgery ?"
The man replies "I was walking past and seen your light on........."
