I'm glad this topic is here... I was going to start something similar.
Having followed this forum for around a year now, I happily make curry at home regularly. I get barely no side effects at all, just a half decent BIR style curry. More recently, we've started eating out again, or getting takeaways. Crikey, the difference is phenomenal. Not in the taste... but in my bowels!
After a 'real' curry, I'm not kidding, my emitted gasses smell like a rotting sewer, quite horrendous. And the next morning, I have to "go" at least three times, each time with the thought that there can't possibly be any more!
So, whatever the missing ingredient is, it has an effect which to be honest I could do without. The flatulence and bloating really isn't worth it!
Of course, it could be down to the extra onions... I always start with poppadoms and (lots of) onion salad, and I expect their bases contain more than I use. Also, I'm an ale drinker, and a night on the beer can give me some of these symptoms regardless of what I eat. So I suppose when you mix it all together, it's not really surprising!
Anyway, good thread
