Curries - Would This Work?

[Mrs Miggins]

I so should not have read this thread. My BF has banned us from eating curry until the middle of August after I kept whinging about how fat I was and I sooo want one.

Make your own....they don't have to be fattening!

 

[Termite Man]

Really?? That's a new one on me. Never had a "hot" korma.

The type of curry has more to do with the style of sauce and spices used , pretty much any curry can be made to be hotter or cooler if you want.

No shit?!

I've just never had a korma from any indian restaurant that was anything other than mild....

I think they tend to make the same type of curry the same sort of heat in restaurants etc. so people know what they are getting .

Korma has no place on a thread about curry. If you dont like curry have something else, but dont pretend that by having a korma yiou are indulging with the rest of us!

I couldn't agree more.

Korma is for wimps.

Korma, the 'curry' for people who don't like curry

 

[Lo Siento.]

I love really hot curries, and am partial to a well-made korma. there's a brilliant recipe in Madhur Jaffrey's Curry Bible.

Can you not just get a menu and phone for a delivery?

 

[DuckQuack'sEcho]

Well, I did it.I picked up the curries today at 2:00 pm and we ate curry for tea and it was all good. We will have left-overs on Saturday. Great food, no excessive heat and I didn't order side dishes, just garlic naan bread, which was alright.

For those asking why we don't just order for delivery--- only pizza is delivered in Australia.

For those asking why do it this way--- I didn't want to be picking up the curries at 7:30pm when traffic was fierce and parking was competitive. I wanted the exercise to be the most convenient for me... which, after all is the purpose of 'convenience food'.

Good advice always at Urban75. Thanks as always.

The Madras lamb curry was spot-on. I love food with coconut sauce. The chicken sindh was ok, the yoghurt and ginger made the dish. all up, I'll try it hotter next time. My wife will keep it 'mild'.

Don't want to be all 'health and safety', but as the sauce will have already been cooked, cooled, stored and then reheated when you order, letting them cool down and reheating isn't ideal. As long as you bring the sauce up to above 65% for a few minutes, it should be fine I think.

I agree. You are better off getting a ready meal from the supermarket.

Now there's a thing....madras doesn't have coconut sauce in the UK!

Utter rubbish. A proper Korma is divine.

The very fact that it is featured with an explanation of it's origin in Madhur Jaffrey's Ultimate Curry Bible (which btw, is one of the most awesome cook books ever) backs this up.

Although admittedly, it's a poor relation that most UK Indian's serve up.

Fron wiki:

Korma has its roots in the Mughlai cuisine of modern-day India. It is a characteristic Persian-Indian dish which can be traced back to the 16th century and to the Mughal incursions into present-day Pakistan, Bangladesh and the North-Western parts of India.

In the UK a korma usually refers not to a particular cooking technique but to a curry with a thick, cream-based sauce or gravy; this bears little resemblance to a classical Indian korma

That's absolute cock - I like all kinds of Indian food - and I like it as hot as hades when the flavour warrants it but it isn't all hot and a good korma is a wonderful dish. I like what passes for korma from most UK Indian restaurants as well. It's all good!

Sorry but I do tend to get my dander up at that stupid macho attitude!

for the sake of reheating a decent curry?
