Curry Anyone

[Sedge5]

But that is an English dish!

Yep - but tasty . . .

 

[fat haggis]

You’re kidding me…..Curry Lunches in The Screws Mess, served up by some slop Jockey’s, with a good few German Beers….heaven.

Curry and a few Wobblies. ️

Man after my own heart.

14 years ago that post they’ve probably gone off curries by now.

Pick up telephone, call local Indian Takeaway /delivery service, place order, wait by door for delivery to arrive,
Plate up and present to wife at table.
Works for me !!

The best Curry I have tasted was made by our very own Sian (sorry can't do the accent thingy). Best ask Jim if he can persuade Sian to share it

Recently i took the major decision to cook me and the lady a curry every Friday night. She did it originally but I thought I would have a go as cooking interests me.

I have bought books, tried watching telly, even been on curry forums but as yet nothing i have tried comes near the style that you get from a restaurant.

So does anyone on here have an half decent recipe for a ruby. Not too chilli hot.

Thanks
Phill

I make my own - but if you want a sauce that tastes exactly like a restaurant curry (because it’s made by a curry restaurant owner) buy these:

Honey Garden Sauces

I bought this at Christmas, I followed his instructions, and have made several of the currys ( all chicken recipes) and quite a few sides.All of them have come out fabulously. If you have the time ,its well worth the effort

 

[Coolcats]

An Indian lady cook told me that you must always rest a curry ie make it the day before consuming so that any meat is marinaded well and truly

This is true if you make a batch the 2nd day tastes better

 

[SheikhLala]

Rick Stein Lamb and Spinach curry, recipe from BBC food I think, my absolute favourite, can be chuffing hot or mild and use any meat/veg combo you fancy.

If a curry is to ( spicey) hot add a sprinkle of sugar or yoghurt

 

[bigwood]

This talk of curry put me in the mood for one of managements chicken curries.
It is not to any fixed plan more on odds and ends from the fridge like chopped tomatoes, natural yogurt and few spices . The end result is a slightly creamy and enough curry flavour to be palatable.

 

[dunnah01]

Not met a bloke yet that doesn't make or know the best curry on the world.
Me - love every one I've had, although some may have been under the affluence of incerhol

Nope, but I'm going to live forever.

We used to rate the Spice Tailor curry kits, but then we tried these Tastesmiths
All fresh ingredients.

Could be controversial here………..in their day, I didn’t mind a Vesta Curry.

Dans books and recipes are very good. As a 50th Present I went on one of his cooking classes he runs at his house and the results were phenomenal using fresher ingredients, marinating properly and would say the best Indian meal at the end.

As quoted above... Vesta still having their day.... you can still get them!

 

[bigwood]

Vesta dinners bring back memories. When I was on leave I thought I would treat management to a meal cooked by me. My trip to the COOP produce a Vesta Curry and it looked easy to cook.
It cant have put her off me because we have been together for forty plus years. My cooking has advanced beyond Vesta meals. The kids used to ask for my one pan dinners especially when we were camping.

 

[DDJC]

Here's a couple to try. Some from India and a couple from Indonesia, Burma and Philippines

Go on YouTube. Loads on there you can follow. I can recommend two..Al’s kitchen & Misty Ricardo. Misty has a few books out, his latest is called curry compendium. We have made British Indian Restaurant Style (B I R) curries from these two respectively, and, the quality is amazing, as good as a good restaurant easily.

We did a Misty Ricardo Jalfrezi last week and it was out of this world I have to say.

Edit. oops, old post alert. Still, the two above are still worth ago.

When I lived in Scotland we frequented an Indo-Pak restaurant called The Gulistan in Auchinairn just east of Glasgow almost every week for over 15 years. Unlike many restaurants, the food was consistently very good, the taste never varied, we received birthday and Christmas cards each year, and Friday nights was the highlight of our week. It was a family run affair and rumour has it that no one outside the family knew the recipes. Happy days
In the 80's and 90's there were many fabulous Indian restaurants around Glasgow, the standard was extremely high. On our travels around Scotland we always tried to get recommendations but they never quite got to the Glasgow standard.
It's 19 years since I moved from Scotland and I have heard that the owner of my favourite restaurant had passed away so I don't know what the situation is now.
On moving to Mid-Wales I quickly searched out the local Indian restaurant. I couldn't wait to try it. On our first visit I asked for pakora to take away. I was shocked by the reply, 'What is Pakora?' Say no more, enough said! We've had the odd half decent curry, but on our next visit, the same curry tasted different!
We have tried Birmingham 3 times but were disappointed, locals probably love it, but then they've not been to Glasgow

Strangely enough our go to curry which is consistent comes from...... wait for it ....... ASDA. Their lamb bhuna is pretty good.

Remember years ago going into a curry house in Beverly Hills that was a favourite with a lot of stars, said to the chap I’ll have a Balti please
He did not have a scooby what I was in about, that’s when j learnt a lot of dishes are just made up by the English
And never got to see anyone famous then got outside and car had a ticket for parking the wrong way around

Not quite the oldest resurrected thread but at 13 years old it's not far off

What was the oldest thread resurrection?

 

[Brains]

Not met a bloke yet that doesn't make or know the best curry on the world.

Errrr, me.
My cooking skills extend to toast, eggs, sausages and things in tins and packets (with instructions)

I have been know to extend my repertoire to Spag Bog and Corned beef hash, however the results are so variable, sometimes its edible other times its not.

I genuinely would not know where to even start to make something like a curry.
I also would be aware that after several hours slaving over a hot stove (assuming I knew what I was doing) that any of the multiple local Curry Houses could deliver a much better result to the front door inside 20 mins.

People would be pushed to beat this one, if you wanted to resurrect it.

Check out misty ricardo. I bought his compendium book and everyone says my curries are better than Indian takeaways. It's all about the base gravy. Search for his videos on YouTube

 

[TDub49]

You could do worse than try these guys - plenty of recipes and the sauces, pastes and dried spices to back them up https://www.shemins.com

 

[Victor And Margaret]

We've been trying to replicate the restaurant taste for years, slowly getting closer to something authentic. The Curry Guy books are good but one of the best places for really good recipe's and tips is Latif's Inspired on YouTube. Use the techniques and recipes on there and you won't be disappointed.
There's a brilliant channel for Chinese takeaway stuff as well - Ziangs, absolutely lovely and easy too.
