phalls for me! correct me if I'm wrong here.. but I'm told there's no such thing really, it just a shedload of extra chilli powder. British curry houses make it to suit our lunatic taste for hotstuff. Vindaloo too, was a modified Portuguese recipe (their colonists to india stole a few tricks from the locals to spice things up)

anyways.. there's one you missed off called the MarkMark Mushroom special :cool:

750g of mushies.
1 large onion.
two tins of tomatos.

1. Fry up sum oil and add a chopped clove of garlic and your onion.
2. When onion is just turning brown, add in your mushrooms
3. Add in your chopped tomato
3. Season it with cumin (about 2tsp), *lots* of corriander, crushed chillies to suit your taste (obviously shedloads of that for me), enough paprika to turn it deep red. and salt to taste. About 1 tsp tumeric (not more than that) and simmer for 15m
4. The secret ingrediant.... 1 tb sp of sugar, which completely tranforms it all into a tasty mushroom balti!

Chilli wasn't introduced in India until the portuguese turned up.

...and the vindaloo in india is nowhere near as hot the the nonsnse you get here.

having only in the past year made the change to food with some kind of kick if i were to progress up the hotness stakes what would come next?

If you were anywhere near, I'd do you a tangy potato chaat with pomegranate, crisp fried aubergine, ginger and chives with roast duck breast marinated with ground spices, served with a kumquat and lemon grass glaze, cauliflower and fine beans tossed with crushed peppercorns and curry leaves, slow cooked black lentils, steamed rice, naan and onion kulcha, with a Lasooni macchi (pan-fried sea bass on a bed of crisp spinach with a sauce made of coconut, red chillies and ground spices).

It's not much but it's all I can offer :(

Oh thankyou :) it would have been nice if you could have made just that little bit of effort but better than nothing I suppose...what's the vegetarian alternative? :p

Don't have many veggie ingredients.

I'm afraid you'd have to make do with a tamarind salad (salad leaves, apples, plums and kumquats in a pine-nut and honey dressing), palak-patta chaat (batter-fried baby spinach, lentil dumplings and chickpeas with mint chutney, sweetened yoghurt and blackcurrant chutney) with tandoori subzi (broccoli marinated with cheese, green chillies and cinnamon along with red pepper stuffed with potato, dry-fruits and nuts) and Punjabi salad (red onion salad in a tangy lemon dressing with chaat masala), bhindi do pyaza (okra tossed with button onions, tomatoes and ground spices), saag aloo, pilau rice and poppadoms.

Not much I know :(

No, think I'll go to Mr Kebab instead for a proper meal...Thanks for making me very very hungry with an insatiable urge for the devine looking palak-patta chaat :o Oh well, i have some bbq beef crisps and a piece of cheese which is similar... :)
 
Hmm, anything as long as it'd made spicier.. would normally order a mixed biriani mdae hotter with copius amounts of mixed pickle and raita. haven't had curry in about 4 months, man I miss it :(
 
I haven't been to a decent indian restaurant since my local in wood green closed down :(

Ah well, I'll just have to make do with my mum's... :p

At the moment, my favourite is a prawn (coconut) curry. Close second is probably chick pea xacuti in pitta bread.

In the past year, I've gone through phases of craving dhal and chapatis, chicken curry and yellow rice, aubergine curry, mutton xacuti, prawns & okra, goa sausage and pork curry (my mum's version is more of a goan style pork vindaloo).

why does all indian food seem to come under "curry"
In the same way European food seems to come under 'dairyfied slop'?
Think it's to do with us being collectively fuckwits ;)
