Darth, was that 1 DSP for 1 portion? Thats a lot of garlic!  ;D

[DARTHPHALL]

Sorry mate,no its for the whole batch made from a 1.5 liter bag of frozen base gravy.
Hope this clears it up for yaaaa  ;D

I have never seen it first hand, but I have been told some restaurants add a sprinkling of garlic powder to many of their curries.
It is a last moment addition prior to putting the lid on the carton
One "chef" who told me this was the author of the "secrets" ebook
I corresponded by emailed, about ten times, trying to get better results
He also mentioned adding ground coriander ,near the end of cooking a curry, too
I have now seen that done so it makes me think that, somewhere along the line, was a genuine source of information.
By the way, that's a great photo of the base!
Excellent

And to add to the evidence,having bought a Lasan Chicken (Garlic Chicken) from my local Bir ,i opened the carton to find white powder on top of the Curry,i tasted it to find it was Garlic powder,but as we all know the ground Spices are at their most pungent when uncooked so it is logical,do you not agree peeps

Hi,

Yes I agree here. I think garlic powder does have a place in some of the BIRs we see. I have used it myself but it is very pungent and leaves one heck of a lingering aftertaste and complaints from the wife about the "garlicky gob"! No kissing tonite dear!!!!!
Use with care.

well the curry turned out well, actually ran out of fresh garlic, but tonight i'll be spooning in amounts that even  vampire hunters fear to handle...... got some beef cooked up... which is somewhat unusual by curry standards, beef curry ? are we in the 1970's ?  well retro night maybe.  i'll leave out the raisans and fruit though... 

cheers for the help spice freaks.

hmm anyone else always have to have mushrooms in their curries? cant seem to kick that habbit......

[DARTHPHALL]

Ahhh yes Mushrooms !!! I remember putting them in, in my early Curry cooking years,& surprisingly i thought it worked well  .
