Curry Tutorial#1

Thanks for 'bumping' this. We do curry a couple times a month and just thought I knew what I was doing.
 
I made a Singapore Chicken curry yesterday, friends dropped over and carted it home with them in takeaway containers!:shocked:

:doh:


:laugh:
 
Beef curry is out of the pressure cooker and reducing, basmati rice just about done, waiting on the dough for the naan to finish rising and, oh carp! I forgot to build the tandoor oven to cook the naan!!

Great! This whole farkin thing is a mess now! :tsk:

Roti is your salvation brother!
 
Thanks fer the reminder Buccs! Meant to post these the other night but due to over satiation, I was unable! :mrgreen:

It was great! Never made one completely from scratch like that, usually start with a store bought powder and build from this. Had a nice rich flavor, the chuck was tender, the beef shanks added a nice fullness.
Kinda wondering if next time I might cook some red lentils into it as well, wife & I thought that would have "lent" nicely to the dish.

The naan came out better than I thought for sure! Cooked it in a crazy hot CI for 45-60 sec per side.

And of course had to wash it down with a locally made India Pale

A little oily from the killer marbling the chuck had but I didn't mind at all!

I think that is a brilliant effort from a pressure cooker, it has great thickeness whereas unless I reduce it after, the PCooker makes for a very watery finish.
If folks are using a PCooker to do curry, I suggest not adding th spices until afetr the PCooker part and cooking the curry on the stovetop and adding the spices and flavour ingredients.
If you add before PCooking, they seem to get heavily reduced in their taste.
Thank you very much for the pr0n and doing a curry!
Wish I could have eaten some too!!

After a recent thread about the state of Indian restaurants there and here I thought we could bump this thread a bit, let more people discover this awesome food!
 
Thanks for bumping bucc. I put this in my subscriptions, I'll have to give this a try.
 
That's a lot time and effort in doing the tutorial. Certainly appreciated and bookmarked. Looks outstanding and thank you for posting.
 
Just found this bucc!! This is fantastic and thank you for doing this. I think it is a bit over my head.
Coincidentally, I just tried cooking my first Thai dish. The red curry chicken with brown rice. Of coarse I only had the curry paste, but it actually turned out very well. Nothing like yours, I am positive about that, but for my first attempt at this wonderful dish, I think it turned out pretty good.
Finding the herbs here will be a challenge, but I will start looking this week. Thanks again bucc.
