Ifindforu secret mix powder
« on: November 30, 2011, 05:31 PM »
When I got home from work I found the envelope posted yesterday by ifindforu. Thanks for that.  ;D

Inside a heat-sealed small package was about 2 or 3 tablespoons of the fabled powder. Enough for a couple of curries or so but not enough to make a new base and a curry.

I've been looking at it and tasting it. It is quite yellow compared to my 8 spice mix from Abdul Mohed and it smells and tastes quite nice. I don't think I'll know for sure until I've cooked with it.
I need to see what the missus will say when she gets in as I've had curry the last 2 nights but I'm up for another one tonight unless she goes ape.

Later......

Paul

Do you use a fairly mild base as I would think that would make a difference and give you clashing flavours if not:)

Hi Paul

I think in the interests of excuse making, you should ask ifindforu which curry recipe he suggests you use it in.  This will take any ambiguity out of the equation e.g. you did not like the spice mix as it was the wrong recipe to use it in, etc!!!

If you had the time I would make the same curry with your current favourite spice mix.

interesting to find out how it goes. 

good luck

Hi Paul
I've been following these ifindforu threads.
And I must say, your a very trusting chap indeed.

Just my thoughts, but most people on cR0 are complete stranger's
and to actually eat some random powder mix that somebody sends
you through the post seems a bit risky to me.

I also remember seeing warnings on some manufactured curry powders
"DO NOT TO EAT RAW"

But Hey, good luck if you cook with it.
cheers Chewy

Hi Chewy,

Thanks for the concern. I did have visions of ifindforu grinding up his toenail clippings - you get the idea.
But I don't think he would do that to me or deliberately poison me.
I know you should only taste certain products when cooked but usually it is the stuff in jars, I think.

... then again if I never post again....call the police!  ;)

Cheers,

Paul
