About an hour ago, I had my first curry...

While I did enjoy the taste quite a bit, there was a very... potent aftertaste that I simply can't seem to get my mouth to agree with very well. It's a... different spice compared to what I'm used to.

I don't forsee any curry in my near future.

Posted by Baloo (Member # 5) on :

I consider curry to be analagous to Chile.

It uses characteristic spices that aren't always quite the same from one recipe to another.
The same basic recipe varies so much from chef to chef that an ingredient list may not contain any ingredient in common with another recipe, with the exception of spices, and not all of those are identical.
The appearance of each recipe can vary so greatly that occasionally, the chef must indicate that he's serving chile or you might think it was something else.
The intensity of the spices can vary from "Mild as Mothers' Milk" to "File Environmental Impact Statement & Prepare Last Will and Testament prior to tasting".

Curry is available in quite a variety of different forms. Some of them taste and appear so dissimilar that you might not recognize them as curry. The local Thai restaurant normally has two different kinds of curry on their lunch buffet. One is a Philipino variety (coconut milk in a main dish? Not for me, thanks!) And the other is a different variety (What region it's from I dunno, but it's good).

My fave? I like to start making chili, but substitute curry powder for chili powder. It's Curry con Carne! Not too bad, but it can be if I use the wrong type or amount of curry seasonings. (Daryus: I recommend you try it sometime. It's different, but good!)

Posted by Curry Monster (Member # 12) on :

Well, curry is a badly used generic term. Kind of like European, or vehicle. What can I say. When I refer to curry I mean North Indian/Pakistani food.
Anyhoo, I shall try the concarne.

I have tried it and he is correct.

What us Brits are referring to as a curry really is not...........

Posted by Orion Syndicate (Member # 25) on :

Stationmaster: I was having this discussion with a customer at the Indian takeaway that I work at. Indeed, authentic Indian and Pakistani curries (especially the way my mum makes them) are bad enough to render most palates useless for about 20 years.

Seriously, the curries here are specially created to appeal to the general populace. No-one in Pakistan or India says "Give me a Lamb Dhansak" or "I'd murder a Chicken Vindaloo right now".
A curry is a curry. The sauce is usually a lot lighter, not as thick as you get in these curries here. They also only use the basic spices, Chilli, Paprika, Haldi, may grind some cardamon pods for flavour and put them in, garlic and coriander. In addition, no-one there eats garlic naans, onion bhajees or many other things on the menu.

These curries are very basic and in my opinion far superior to the stuff that's made in these restaurants or takeaways. If you want an authentic Pakistani/Indian meal, then one of these curries and a couple of chapatis is the way to go, or if you prefer rice, that's good too.

Email me and I'll see what I can do. It was really simple, unless you live somewhere that the store doesn't regularly have the ingredients in stock.

Orion S: What are Garlic nads.

------------------
We'rree Baaaccckkk

Posted by Orion Syndicate (Member # 25) on :

Excalibur: They're garlic naans, not nads. They are simply plain naan breads that are flavoured with garlic(if you like that sort of thing, I hate garlic).

They're made by firstly making some dough from some flour, water and some other ingredients which escape me at the moment.(just like normal bread). This dough is then spread onto this, well, small cushion and then stuck to the interior side of a special clay oven. The bread is then made in a couple of minutes. It is usually served with a curry.

The flavouring is usually done in the dough stage.

I hope that helps. Ask if you need more info.

My favourite naan is what I think is called the Peshawari naan - a swwet one, with coconut and raisins. Yum. . .

The naan is the ideal bread for the wetter-sauced dishes. . . mops up the sauce very well. For chunkier meat dishes (as well as vegetable ones, and the lentil dish dal, however, I prefer the chapati, a thin wholemeal flour pancake. They're about the only thing to do with flour, beaking etc. that I can make. . . It's just sieved brown flour and water kneaded together (a food processor works very well) and left for an hour, then rolled out with lots of flour to prevent it sticking (it is VERY sticky otherwise) and then plopped straight onto a metal plate over the heat (gas flame is best, wouldn't want to try electric). They reheat very well and are excellent with scrambled eggs.

Posted by Diane (Member # 53) on :

The curry I mentioned is mostly Chinese curry. I've also had Thai curry, Vietnamese curry (or I think it was Vietnamese), and Indian curry (a long time ago that I don't remember how it tasted). Thai curry is light and soup-like and heavy in coconut milk-flavor. The Vietnamese one was thicker and smells less of coconut milk.

Posted by Curry Monster (Member # 12) on :

NADS? LOL It's Naan.

Orion, you're right. Naans, bhaji etc aren't part of the standard diet. More like Sunday food. But hell, the Chinese food we get in shops is hardly 'Chinese' either. It's a generalisation.

Tora, two words you used in conjunction there would make all my ancestors turn over in their graves for a few centuries....*L*.

Posted by CaptSershek on :

Personally, most spicy foods tend to have an adverse reaction on my stomach which I have nicknamed a "warp core breach". I do not think you want the details, so I will not bother. While most currys and spicy foods smell tasty, the burning mouth and subsequent after effect ruins it. Also, I believe it is spelled wuss, which in this case, I am guilty.

Posted by Baloo (Member # 5) on :

I was quite leery of excessively spicy foods until I was stationed in California (my home state). I was invited to a night out with the boys (actually poker at some guy's house) and the snacks were beer, salsa and tortilla chips.

I didn't realize how hot the salsa was before I realized how good it tasted. My first clue that this stuff wasn't "mild" or "medium" when I began to perspire. My mouth was in some amount of pain, but the stuff tasted too good to stop.

I suspect there's some macho element as well, since I take some amount of pride in consuming something spicy like that when others can't. I'm just glad the stuff tastes good in the first place or I'd go find something else to be proud of right quick!

Jeff....you called it a pepper! ARGH.

Well the hottest thing I have ever had is a Madras chilli. They are these little red ones grown in central India, Vietnam, etc. About half the length of your pinky. And they are murderous. But, worth it.

BTW, Lee and Daryus, check yer email. I sent the recipe. It's simple and should work just fine. Fiddle with the ingredient list until the flavors suit you. After all, the only real requirement for chili is meat and chili peppers. Everything else is optional.
