Hi all

Its like superman now we have super tasters. What is it coming to

Regards
Andy

Coming next will be an announcement by the government  that 'super tasters' will be forced to pay higher taxes than everybody else for having more than thier fair share of the taste!
There will be no tax benefits for infirior tasters.

Yes do get a tandoor before you go, even the commercial ones are difficult to find - even on the mainland (heard about someone who went there to open a restaurant a few years ago) - as for the islands.....well, it has to be flown or shipped in and that means extra cost!

Guess it will be the balerics or canary islands for you. Caneries are windy and well 'out there' (bit like the Spanish hebridees (sp?) - but the balerics have a reputation and I am sure curry houses where the demand is!

Anyway, I hope you have done your research and know what youare letting yourself in for!

Cheers KP(V)

The only way I can think of is to get as many of the regular posters/chefs together and try various dishes at a restaurant (preferably several restautants)!!!

The we will get closer to what is the 'taste' and the 'smell'.

KP(V)

That would be very useful CP!

I am planning on a large plot of land where I can grow most of my own fruit,veg, herbs and spices.

My dream is to build a wood fired pizza oven and a tandoor. Then I will be close to heaven. Curry nights by the swimming pool on a warm and sultry evening...... I can smell it now!

Andy,

Would I be correct in thinking that these pastes play a role in the king prawn dishes?

KP(V)

Hey CP,

The countryside starts 20M from my front door, so I'll have a look!

Hopefully I will be able to grow this as I am looking to move to spain in the near future (hence the need to cook my own curries as there are virtually no Indian restaurants over there - major cities and the tourist coastal areas excepted).

Will be trying one of Andys dishes over the weekend.

Now off to practice fusing....

Andy,

Do you then make your own garlic and ginger pastes?

KP(V)

CQ is right, but the skillet MUST be as hot as you can get it. The curry MUST be really hot too.
If you add some melted ghee to it will react with the hot curry and sizzle, the lemon (or lime) juice will really set it off. I do this a lot with Tandoori KP's
