Lets Talk Curry / Re: Haloon Seeds
January 04, 2010, 10:59 AM
Halon seeds are Aserio. Basically an aniseed.

You probably have a recipe already but a Lamb version is here:

Hope this helps.  ;D

I've added it but all that does is add sweet coconut aroma to the dish. Sure its great tasting but belongs in a  'Fusion' setting. Boy are we going to dislike these places huh?  ::)

It's more Thai food than Indian.

I did add it to a base a month ago not having coconut block. Quite good really but I prefer some hard hitting spices really. (In moderation to said tastes).

I'm lucky. I have food around me that is awesome truly. I'm learning from these guys using my nose, I have a good nose.  ;)

I'll use it yes when I want it though. Sorry for sounding vague.  :-\

Talk About Anything Other Than Curry / Re: snowwwww

Josh.

Here too. We have devastatingly cold winters here sometimes. It's the damned wind from Canada in fact. We had just under 2 feet of snow for two days. The first day it reached nearly 80 according to the outside thermo. But the rain really saw it all off in the same time it took it to fall.

All in all its up and down like a yoyo. Even the heating system here is confused.  ::)

Sounds like Canada in winter! Strange thing is that it has snowed once in Toronto this year, which melted away fast. Almost tropical!

Thank god for global warming...

I'm really glad I don't have this problem Ermin. In fact mine smell and taste very good, I'm sure others who make it are just as good.

I've found that Sugar/Salt/Garam Masala, Whole seeds Cumin and Coriander work well but its the Garam that hits the spot. Onions love it.

Have you tried CA's? The don't have to be round in any case to be be delicious. I'm making some mashed potato balls which are battered with spices this coming week from a recipe I found.  Will post on that but give CA's recipe a try I don't really measure these things at all anymore.

Lets Talk Curry / Re: Liver tikka???

Oh I dunno?
Plenty good for you. It's meaty and we know they can cover it up with some massive tastes. I'd try it if someone ordered it for sure but I doubt It would be a big thing with me.
