Hi Curry king + Darthphall
Thank you both for your warm welcome?
I have been reading through these forums with great interest and? it's quite clear a lot of members are Obsessed with getting the Ultra Top secret Gravy Base.
I was very friendly with an Indian who owned the local curry house and I watched his chefs make this elusive sauce many times from start to finish and
No there are not any secret ingredients.The Kris Dhillon book (The curry Secret) really tells it as it is, my only disagreement is the amounts specified, When I first started at catering college it was always preached to me that
NO recipe is carved in stone
They Are Only Guidelines which should be adjusted accordingly. My advise is to keep tasting if it needs something Add IT !
The only time I do the boiled onions Gravy is if I'm cooking for a party etc otherwise I'll just use the fried onions method it's quicker and easier I enjoy Fish Curry which is basically a Stew (Watery Consistency) My favourite is Lamb Bhuna (on the Bone) and no I dont use a fork or spoon I always eat my Curry's Indian style (Hands) It used to drive my Mrs Crazy but she's used to it now Ha Ha.
Another thing which bothers me is people are Freezing the Garlic/Ginger mix in Ice-cube trays (Argh) this will give a completely different taste to the final product you will Never see an Indian getting these frozen cubes of gunk out of their freezer ! same goes for the Fresh Coriander it goes Black and again gives a different flavour if you cant get fresh don't bother wasting your time (and gas) I would like to have a pound for every batch of Curry iv'e had to bin.
I will read these forums with great interest and I will try and help or give my opinion if needed the main thing is to never give up trying and looking at these forums I'd say you have pretty well got it sorted Well Done !?
