Re: Curry this, curry that...

I did make lovely spiced onions to go with our curry last night. I love them.

Re: Curry this, curry that...

I'm not into overly spiced food but I do like Korma sauce which we buy from Aldi. It's got a nice flowery , coconutty (I've just invented that word) taste to it.

In ready meals, I am forever fishing out red, green or yellow peppers. Stop it, please!

I want everyone to know, that I hate curried, hot, or spicy food!!! We do exist, you know...
Can't say I've noticed, but then I love spicy food and love making curries. And don't use ready meals.
It does seem harsh on those that don't if this is so prevalant, though. Time to start cooking your own and freezing portions?

Re: Curry this, curry that...

Well I like the variety we get now and we find all kinds of new things to try from all over the world now as shops cater more and more for ethnic minorities.

My wife makes all kinds of dishes now from scratch, not just curries and besides, if you talk about "Indian" food and curries, most of the time the recipes are Bangladeshi / Bengali in this country so if you want a more authentic taste of, say, a Punjabi dish then the sauces we can by now are brilliant, sorry to disagree Grumble.

Do it all yourself if you think that's better for you but unless you are a highly-experienced, experienced chef you'll never quite get the true taste you are looking for. stevmk2

I love their tinned hot chicken curry but also like to make a stir fry veggie curry using white cabbage, onions, peppers celery and whatever is left over that needs using up
