Lets Talk Curry / I found a little gem
August 06, 2013, 04:35 AM
I found a little gem of a book at my local supermarket for only ?3 Indian made simple from Love Food I have made four of the recipes all delicious probably more veering to traditional rather than BIR styles most of the dishes start with frying chopped onions so what I am thinking to save time is making a batch of base just using onions oil and water would this work when making the recipes and letting the water evaporate off before adding the spices GG paste etc ?

November 27, 2012, 01:27 AM
Hi everyone I am glad I found this site and looking forward to try a lot of recipes I been recently making my curries from scratch grinding spices and so on but been following the more traditional way rather than the BIR methods didnt realise how split it can be but making interesting reading . I have seen a lot of recipes which I would like to try but the downer a quite a few call for coconut and coconut milk something I detest so is there anything I could use instead ? .I know I am going to enjoy this site
