Author Topic: This afternoons effort. Korma, Madras, Vindaloo  (read 5,240 times)

AI Summary
The original poster shared their homemade recipes for korma, madras, and vindaloo, expressing satisfaction with their evolving flavors, particularly preferring a more robust vindaloo over typical restaurant versions. Community members generally agreed that a vindaloo should not merely be a spicier madras, with some discussing the use of vinegar as a souring agent in vindaloo and others debating the authenticity of recipes. The consensus leans towards the idea that vindaloo should have distinct characteristics separate from madras, though opinions on specific ingredients vary.

This afternoons effort. Korma, Madras, Vindaloo
« on: January 31, 2016, 10:18 PM »
I made 3 of my own recipes this afternoon, they have been evolving slowly but are now at a level for me that is at least as good as any local restaurant or takeaway. I don't go much for a vindaloo that is just a hot madras, for me it has to have a much stronger flavour, so I actually prefer my vindaloo to any T/a that I've had.

I'm with you SR,

A Vindaloo is not just a hotter version of a Madras.

Looks good SR. What's in your vindaloo and how do you differentiate it from the madras?

I prefer vindaloo with vinegar as the souring flavour and lemon dressing or juice as the madras souring agent

I prefer them as they should be, i.e. no souring agent in either!  ;D

Well, apart from the tartness of the tomato in the madras but that should be balanced by the sweetness of the base sauce.

How do you differentiate a vindaloo from a madras SS..?  Vindaloo seems to be one of the least documented dishes in videos from BIR kitchens for some reason. I myself am a little confused over what constitutes an authentic recipe.

Search recipes for ss madras and vindaloo , that will answer your question.

Authentic vindaloo or BIR vindaloo?

Well I found this thread, which makes quite an amusing read showing, if nothing else, how the quality of recipes on this site has improved over the years: https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,465.0.html

I don't think a 16 portion vindaloo made with 2 litres of base and 1 desertspoonful of curry powder added right at the end of the cooking would attract many plaudits these days.
