Bring me some. Preferrably some that use curry pastes and such, and not a million separate spices. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
making your own spice paste is the best part! its really therapeutic spending 20 minutes over a mortar and pestle. |

i have no idea how to make curries, but they are fucking amazing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
the secret ingredient is time. what happens in that hour of braising in the rogan josh recipe is magic. most curries are straightforward recipes, its all about the flavour interchange. |

Sweet, I will have to try that one |

Rockenjohnny is right, making your own paste is the best (not to mention the hardest) part and integral to Indian cooking. I love curries and can make all sorts (I'm learning to do Thai ones at the moment). As it happens I'm off out for a curry and a couple of bottles of tiger beer in 10 minutes time. |

curry is amazing. There are good books out there too. |

isnt it like an insult to indians if you put meat in curry? |
||||||||
|

Aren't curries really more a British than an Indian thing? |
||||||||

what about a lamb dupiaza? -is that easy to make? :D |

What a coincidence..I cooked curry for dinner tonight. My recipe is rather modest. I use the cheap packaged curry brick, but the only other ingredients I used tonight were butter (for stir fry), chicken, potato, onion, and carrots, with rice cooked separately. Simple but satisfying. |

Ha ha! A mate asked me the same question this weekend and my brother (who does a massive amount of things) is constantly surprised by it. I tend to learn most things quite quickly and have a good memory for things that interest me (although conversly, if I have no interest in something, I cannot remember it, no matter how hard I try). I also don't have much interest in watching sports or TV in general. I'm not one of those people who put the TV on by default of an evening, this alone frees up about a dozen hours a week. These days I don't go on the lash very often (couple of times a month, max), so not only don't spend the evening down the pub, but I'm also not hung over and ineffective the next day. I read (lots of it non-fiction) a lot too, which is good for acquiring knowledge/skills quickly. Just now I was reading a book on making survival kits while I had a bath, back on the subject of curries, I had a book on them to hand while I was on hold to the gas board the other week and was reading that and learning a new recipe while. I also work at home a lot of the time, which means I can do my housework/chores during lunch hour, so they don't eat into my evenings/weekends. Also means that whilst I ride/drive a lot for work, it's offset by not commuting each day. I also use a bike over a car wherever possible, which saves a few hours a weeks, the amount I drive. This weekend, saturday: I got my hair cut, did a bit of my dissertation, went over the finance arrangement a mate was taking out on his car to make sure he wasn't going to be out of pocket, made a load of canapes for a party, took a mate who was learning to drive out to practice manouevres, party in the evening, after everyone else had gone home/to bed I started about half a dozen tracks. Sunday, watched a film, helped a mate fix the front brake on his bike, out for a ride with my advanced riding group all afternoon, in the evening, went over a job application for my gf and made some suggestions/changes, then out for a curry. |

I love curries. Madras is my favourite, with Rogan Josh a close second. |

Tiger beer? That Singaporean stuff? |

Rogan Josh sounds like an APhex alias. I had curry last night btw. Korma and tikka. |

Yeah, goes really well with curries. As it happened, my nearest curry house was out of action (being refurbished) so I had to go across town to the Shahi Noor. This turned out to be quite fortuitous as they gave us about 1/3 off the price and free drinks. On the down side, they didn't have Tiger beer, so I ended up having Cobra instead. |

Wow. If you quit XLT-modding, you could be the most skilled man ever! Ceri weekend, saturday: I got my hair cut, did a bit of my dissertation, went over the finance arrangement a mate was taking out on his car to make sure he wasn't going to be out of pocket, made a load of canapes for a party, took a mate who was learning to drive out to practice manouevres, party in the evening, after everyone else had gone home/to bed I started about half a dozen tracks. Sunday, watched a film, helped a mate fix the front brake on his bike, out for a ride with my advanced riding group all afternoon, in the evening, went over a job application for my gf and made some suggestions/changes, then out for a curry. Mortsto weekend (visiting a friend), saturday: Woke up with a hangover, went downtown for a ciabatta breakfast. Tried to find a new sweater, but wasn't motivated to try anything on, so I failed. Went to see a football match, and have a couple a pints. Ordered a pizza, lotsa more beer, went to a shithole called Spasibar and almost got in a fight because of a silly friend, more beer, kebab, taxi home, more beer and facebook nachspiel, passed out. Sunday: Hangover, surfed the net while watching my friend play guitar hero and fifa. Some mexican food for breakfast at four, almost missed my plain home, wnt to sleep. |

He he, your weekend sounds very similar to my weekends when I lived in a house full of lads. :) I forgot to mention I also watered all my plants (and the ones at my parents' house) and tended to my Bonsai on the saturday. |

Is that the one on High Street? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

There's a new one on Holton road that has sprung up since you've been away. It's pretty good- I think it's almost as good as the Shahi Noor (which is the one on high street) used to be. |

The last time my cousin went to an Indian restaurant he got a cricket bat to the head. That one was in Penarth though hehe. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ha ha! Which one was it? I've only been to one Indian in Penarth, it wasn't far from the pub, The Railway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's the Paramount. This one is further up town but I don't know the name. Some idiot he was with got into a confrontation and hurled an ashtray at the waiter. My cousin got caught up in it. I can't really blame the staff as they must get so much shit from drunken racist arseholes. |

from what ive read, lamb dupiaza basically follows the same recipe as the rogan josh i wrote down make sure you use plenty of onion at the stage when you bring together the onion base, lamb and yoghurt, substitute the turmeric for these spices ground coriander 1 teaspoon ground cumin 2 teaspoons at the final step, when the fresh coriander is added, also stir in 1 teaspoon of garam masala |
