It could be.. im sure it has some flavour although it might be very subtle. I would normally suspect its there to bulk out the packet so as to make as much profit as possible, but i doubt thats the Hari Kristna styley. If it is there soley as a thickening agent it would be better to leave it out. Anyway it smells the business and gives a "creamy" spiceiness to indian food.

Looks like the real deal Darth, my first thought was 30 cm pan isnt so large.. but thats actually larger than the pan i sometimes use for my curries at home.

Here is a little more information: http://www.eurocosm.com/Application/Products/Cooking-products/hot-wok-GB.asp

Nice find and reasonable price

This thread was started one and a half years ago and still makes interesting reading, we?ve had several new members since then; so ive dug it out, dusted it off and bumped it up.

Hi nessy!

Curry rocks! I think Darths got the recipe somewhere

Welcome to CR0 and enjoy your stay!

Darth summed it up very well.. thats about the size of it, if you have an almondy taste to your CTM.. think about the different ways almonds can be added to the finished dish..
everything from whole almonds to marzipan, go and experiment and write up your results..

btw Hydrogen cyanide is a colorless gas with a faint, bitter, almond-like odor..
but i wouldnt wanna try it

there are actually 2 types of almonds.. sweet and bitter, i know these because its a common ingredient in a swedish christmas drink.. try both or a combination of both and see what happens

Good luck

Hi Cory!

Its difficult to snoop around in swedish bins as they are usually kept within a locked "trash room" but im inclined to agree with many people here, that the secret lies more in techniques and equipment than in certain products which produce a BIR style flavour.

There are a few restaurants in Stockholm that produce a fantastic indian curry albeit not a typical BIR one, Indian Garden is garanteed to produce consistently good food, the tables are so close together than on occasions you are forced to stand up to let people pass. Thats if you can get a table

Hi CP!

I posted this a while ago, if you havent tried it, i would recommend you do - This is probably my favourite garam masala, very different from the norm.
