Yeh, when I first started doing veggie curries, it was all slop-in-a-pan. I like to think I've got a handle on them now

Potato and spinach curry - piece of piss to make, if you want the recipe for the future, gis a shout and I'll pm it

See also, chickpea and potato curry, and like others have said, aubergine and anything (because aubergine is fucking stonking in a curry)

Why thank ya sir

Oh, pea and potato curry is another good un, which I also have a recipe for, and which I managed to royally fuck up the first time I made it by religiously following the recipe (and not boiling the spuds before putting them in the yoghurt)

Chana masala
Vegetable dhansak
bhindi bhaji
Brinjal bhaji
Sag aloo

See, I don't know what any of those actually are cesare. I can't be the only person who goes 'uh? either

Brinjal bhaji - chargrilled aubergine curry

And not a single Home Pride in sight

be very very wary of okra tho, soooo easy to fuck up n make disgusting.

Dunno, perhaps aloo palak is specifically a punjabi recipe?

What's a home pride?

 

[belboid]

palak is simply a type of saag. Saags can be spinach or mustard, palaks only spinach. Over here they are both always spinach

Yep, buy fresh ones that 'snap' (not that easy in a supermarket where they tend to be kept past their optimum, not that popular) and don't overcook.

Home Pride cook in sauces, I remember them!

Have you ever had deep fried okra? That's nice.

 

[cesare]

No I haven't ... d'ya think they'd work well as pakora?

 

[ringo]

Have you ever had deep fried okra? That's nice.

Yep that's a winner, it's the mushy okra which makes people want to vom.

Chana Masala is actually the best curry. Then tarka daal.

don't be daft. Neither have any brinjal involved

I really like mushy okra, I must be unusual.

 

[soulfulofsoul]

Peppers are nice but they don't really belong in a curry, do they? Mushrooms, aubergine, potato, cauliflower, courgette, brocolli are all good.

Well after all I did not end up cooking anything last night. Me lady got stuck at parents evening bombarded with questions about her darling classes.

Going to make a few of the dishes mentioned in the thread tonight though. Looking forward to it

Noooo, matter panir.

I had that for the first time in America recently - it's great. Deep-frying makes everything taste good, unfortunately!

I don't often make a mixed veg curry, its a bit of a western invention,

Not really, I work with a few Indians who are strict vegetarians and veggi curry is a staple for them (in fact I'm working with one of them for 6 weeks soon so it'll be a staple for me too, with a bit of luck)
