Curry

[BliarOut]

Steak and chips, curry and rice.

I'll have the blandest thing on the menu

I've never considered having curry & chips in a restaurant before and didn't think I ever would. But, having seen the above pic, if someone was to set it in front of me now I'd happily scoff the lot.

Oh the shame of it.

Last time you posted a picture of yourself you had it removed - can you be trusted with this task?

So you're going to the chippie for a bag of chips, and then you're going for a curry later on in the evening when you're hungry?

Begum Behar - Chicken pieces cooked with minced lamb served with a boiled egg. I normally get them to make it Vindaloo Hot for that unique experience.

most high street curry houses use veg oil. they do not charge enough to use ghee.
if you really like curry try to make your own. the comparison i would make is someone coming from india , trying fish and chips from perhaps not the best chippy and saying he did not like english food.
i am indian and think i can cook a reasonlable curry,but find it really difficult to cook a full english fry up and get it right. in my opinion its easier to cook a curry. stay away from the ready made sauces and have a go.good luck. oh and it does not have to be hot to be good. butter chicken is great in the summer with salad and some light seasoning. not a chilli in sight

I'm quite into making home made currys from raw ingredients but have never made one that tastes authentic. I used to work with some contractors from different parts of India who were always bringing in different home made stuff for me to try and it was gorgeous but I've never been able to make it myself. Since it's clarified butter it makes the taste bit richer, but it's not a huge deal. You'll get closer to an authentic flavour if you remember one simple thing; cook all the ingredients till they are very very dead, the longer you cook it the more authentic it will taste. Although I must admit I've never got it completely right either.

If by authentic you mean, just like the restaurant then can I reccommend the book "Indian resaurant cooking" by Kris Dillon, basically does exactly what it says on the tin

I wasn't convinced when I was boiling up 4kg of onions but the results are exactly the same as a restaurant

Sounds good - I just ordered it off amazon for about £1!

But plenty of chips, right?

Mehti Gust is my favourite - dry and sour - tasty as you like

[sneijder]

Chicken Tikka Bhuna (Balti-Style), not too much tomato, loads of onion. ignore anyone suggesting lamb in a curry, they are mad. Chips are essential with a curry, we live in England, we eat chips.

Yeah the restaurant taste is what I meant so I will also be buying the book
