Ghee 100 gms

Does ghee really make that much difference over oil? 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.

I'm going for a Curry tonight with my lovely wife.


Is this the prelude to asking lovely wife if you can go to Anglesey on Sunday?


I mentioned that this morning! I was asked to consider our future and still relatively new born baby boy.

I considered it for 10 seconds and it still didn't change my mind.

In the wake of me confirming to her that I'm going to Lemans next year again, I didn't see much point in saying much more. If I'm gonna go, I'll just sneak out in the morning and deal with the wrath at teatime, late on Sunday !

I dunno if it's been mentionned , but I find chicken Passenda to be most delicious! chicken tikka massala is nice but looks too "bloody" for a night out.

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.

How rude, have you not bothered reading this thread through, word by word?

The cheek some people have here on PH. You just come on, open a thread at random and post something like that!

Unbelievable. You should be banned.

Since nobody has mentioned the chip issue yet, I thought I might interject.

Her is a picture of curry and chips:



This just looks so wrong. A chicken died to become part of the majest that is a ruby. Give it some dignity and a decent send-off, chap

Public schoolboy perchance?

Assuming you managed to eat between arse-tremblings, what was the food like?

Yeah it's def tricky to get that curry house taste and damned if I can even get close to it dspite a cupboard full of spiceys, there's always something missing.

Has anyone ever bought a decent ready mixed jar of stuff, the ones I've tried always seem to be missing one or 2 spices. Sorry a bit off topic.

I was wondering if anyone would pick up on the chips, but I didn't want to be the first one to say something

What's that you say? Chips? With a curry? Why wasn't this travesty brought to my attention earlier?
