Topic: kfc !!!!

[DARTHPHALL]

Had a Kfc today & there was an onion smell that resembled the one found in the Curries i buy ( I'm almost certain its Garlic in the coating on the Chicken ) Has anyone ever put Garlic puree in at the end of cooking their Curries as you would keep the strong Onion smell/taste that way.
                                          I'm up for a right ribbing here ain't i ??   ;D ;D

No mate, you're getting confused, you were actually in Kentucky Fried Curry, it's the new Bangladeshi franchise run by Colonel Sikhander. Taking fusion food to the next level.? ??
You may have seen their recent advert for a family balti with six free pakora dippers, and who can forget their slogan 'it's ladies fingers lickin good'.? (It helps to know that Balti means bucket?and ladies fingers are okra )
P.S. If i see any Kentucky Fried Curry chains opening, I want royalties!

Now why would you use raw garlic to give an onion smell? Pureed raw onion surely. When I first read this I thought the cholesterol from all those vindaloos had finally got as far as your brain, but thinking a bit more, I use raw garlic when I make guacamole and it's lovely. However I still think it's unlikely. Raw garlic can give some people chronic heart burn, but I'm not one of them so I might just try a teaspoon or two next curry.

Like the take on kfc. Its nice to see a lighter side to forum members, did i not say that overdosing on Curry can cause momentary insanity with lasting affects of silliness !!
It was just a thought  because the strong onion taste /smell in my local Curries is more like that of Garlic but..& heres the rub..When i have a Take-away my wife says that i don't smell too much of Garlic, when however i make my own its a totally different story " you wreak of Garlic"!

Because of personal perception & all that it is hard to convey on a forum what a taste -smell is like .
  But the one emanating from my local is an Onion smell but more like Garlic than Onion..confussed ? you will be !! It also smells much like Asafoetida powder( this has a strong Onion smell if you haven't used it yet).But when you use it a home" Bloody hell were did that smell go " ?
Also seriously The smell was on the Kfc ( it could be an type of seasoning/ flavor enhancer).
I can wait for summer to end so i can persuade my local BIR to give me cooking lessons.

Kfc is cooked in oil in a pressure cooker, this is their "secret" I wonder could the BIR's precook the meat this way??

KFC meat is pre-boiled, coated in the batter, then deep fried for a short time.

OK then, logically it is a seasoning or something to enhance the flavor & it is very like the smell in the Curries i buy.
