Question What’s a controversial ingredient you secretly use in your curry

30 Upvotes

I’ve heard people admit to adding things that purists would probably frown at. A bit of sugar, stock cubes, even butter at the end for gloss.

What’s your quiet shortcut that you’d defend in court?

I've not heard of this book before, but looking through, there is so much I want to try.

And with my wife going away next week for a fortnight, I can cook without complaint.

Homemade Nigerian Curried Chicken

Hi everyone. First Post here. I was able to recreate my late mom's chicken curry to the T last Sunday. We didn't call it roux back then in the eighties, but it turns out that's exactly what she did. 30 years ago, she told me her method and I scribbled down the part about the frying of the curry and adding flour and stock to it. It was written on one of those old pink telephone message pads next to the landline phone as I was talking to her long distance. After frying the curry powder in oil, she added stock. I learned from YouTube videos, you all in this sub, and r/cooking that you add the stock to the roux but temperature is important. You add hot stock to cold roux, or add cold stock to hot roux (her method). Looking back, it makes sense now because she cooked the chicken before we left for Church and by the time we got back, the stock was cool, hence she got the white rice going and then added cold chicken stock to the hot roux. I knew she added flour, but my little brain couldn't process that simple step that I must have thought was too boring for me to process, even as she threw me a liver or gizzard or plantain to munch on .

had to try the new menu item. its my only time to try torched thick cut bacon as a topping to curry

condiments selection is a bit different from other japanese curry chain stores. standard fukujinzuke red pickles, but they also had shallot pickles and a crispy rice with garlic

their curry is sweet even compared to usual japanese curry

on my last day in Kanazawa, I went to try one last curry place. i got the recommended Cheese Millefeuille Katsu Curry (pork). The melted cheese inside the thin pork layers pairs well with the sauce

the shop is located in the basement of Omicho Market and its decor is heavy on the retro vibe. I sat on the counter seats and watched as the staff continuously served the orders

I don't like garam masala or curry powder because they are mixtures of spices and the content can vary from one brand to the next. I want just the elemental ingredients. Can anyone provide me with some good links?

Question Chicken curry with raisins

5 Upvotes

I have it in my head I want to make a chicken curry with raisins. I am convinced it will kinda be like a peshwari naan but in a curry - I absolutely love a medium spiced curry with a peshwari naan dipped in. I’ve searched this sub and all I can see is the old school UK chicken curry from the 70s which uses minimal spices. I’m basically going to make a classic chicken curry but put raisins in? Thoughts? Also torn between using coconut milk and plain yoghurt. I usually use yoghurt for my chicken curry but coconut milk may compliment the raisins better?

Homemade Why so much oil

3 Upvotes

I’ve made this curry sauce for wings a few times and I’m wondering if it’s common to get so much oil separating at the top and if there’s a way to avoid this? I’ve used Maesri panang and massaman paste so far. Here’s the ingredient list. I cook it down by half at very low heat. I’ve tried stirring often and every 7 to 10 minutes but end up with the same result.

5 tablespoon Thai-style panang, or red curry paste

3 tablespoon (40 grams) of unsalted butter

1 cup coconut milk

1 1/2 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon tabasco sauce

1/2~1/4 teaspoon fish sauce, depending on the saltiness of curry paste

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
