Lets Talk Curry / adding cream or coconut?
June 30, 2017, 05:43 PM
Anyone add cream or coconut?   (i'm talking basic 'curry', not kormas/pathia etc)

Just wondered how much and when if so for nice results

Just wondering, in your experience, what are the things that you can or cant overdo or underdo?


chilli is one you can overdo and its still ok

Is there any spices that are forgiving if you use a lot - or horrible if you go overboard? (and on the flipside of that - spices you have to include or it doesnt taste right?)

Hi there, long time lurker and curry practitioner.  Trying to be more involved now.


I am almost there with my curries!  They are nice but still lacking something (this might be method), while also always having something - which is the point of this post.

I have a sour taste in my finished curries, and i dont know where its coming from.

My method is this:

onions
1 red pepper
1 carrot
ginger/garlic
cumin
turmeric
little salt
coriander stalks
some oil
water to cover - then boil all these for a couple of hours and then blend till smooth.

add water to get it to a thinner consistency prior to adding later.

then fry in oil:
chopped onion
garlic / ginger
tomato puree (from chopped tomatoes)
mix powder (small amount mixed with water to avoid burning)
add some base
precooked chicken
add browned garlic + some of its oil
add rest of base & cook till oil separates and consistency is good. add water if necessary
fresh coriander


this is my basic curry.  It is pretty good.  But every one I have done recently with this method has had a sour taste & i dont know where its coming from!  its almost like lemon but I havent even added any.


Anyone have any idea what it might be?
