Which Curry?

[Johnny Canuck3]

Most of the curry houses in my area are Muslim-owned.

Makes sense. Most of the ones here are sikh or hindu owned.

 

[Orang Utan]

Nonsense, if you're going to eat meat in the first place, it's idiocy to be splitting hairs about how it's killed. Halal butchers are regulated just like non-halal butchers

 

[purves grundy]

always always always vindaloo

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

might treat myself tomorrow

 

[Detroit City]

That's ok, I only eat it in restaurants.

just wanted you to know the real deal....butter chicken is to indian food like white zinfandel is to wine

 

[cesare]

I've been brought up that way, and imo, the way their animals are slaughtered is inhumane. Plus there isn't one clean Halal butcher in the vicinity of Bradford.

Splendid

From your expert vantage point of slaughtering animals, you'll explain why halal is inhumane compared to the meat that you cook at home, yes?

You sure you aren't talking out your brown ass? Looks like the indian name for it is murgh makhani, and it gets made lots in India. It's just that it's popular elsewhere.

Probably more regulated tbh.

I can't be bothered explaining my reasons for not eating halal meat.

Patia or dansak, but preferably patia - when you get a good one, my word, heaven on a naan.

 

[Orang Utan]

I hate naans. Chapatis are way better

 

[hiccup]

Hate is a strong emotion to throw at a naan

Bloody nora there aren't alf some fucking incredible curry gaffs around your way, mk

I like naan, but I'd think that it was too bland to inspire hate.

 

[Orang Utan]

Greasy, doughy and crispy - yuck

Why not?

What %age of traditionally slaughtered animals in UK abbatoirs are dead via stunning before killing? And if they're not dead (which is often the case) - what's the inhumane differential you're trying to make here?

Are you familiar with abbatoir techniques? Have you visited one?

 

[hiccup]

A greasy naan is a badly made naan.

Now paratha, that is some nasty greasy bread product

could be, but I never order it cause it's too mild.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

could be, )

So in other words, you didn't have a clue what you were talking about....

I won't eat takeaway curry (unless I find a curry house that doesn't use Halal meat). I make my own curries.

Most of the curry houses in my area are Muslim-owned.

LOL, a haram curry place seems like an oxymoron to me, like a 'vegetarian steakhouse' etc. All the 'Indian' restaurants I've been to have all by my reckoning been Muslim-owned.

As an aside I've always wondered why curry houses are referred to as 'Indians', being that most referred to in this way are of Pakistani/Bangladeshi origin in ownership, staffing and menu. The only Indian thing I notice in said places is Kingfisher on tap.

 

[vipper]

It's not about one dish. It's about a combination of dishes making a fantastic feast. I would go for:
- Naan and roti and maybe poori.
- Tandoori fish
- Saag paneer
- Chana masala
- Aloo gobi or maybe gobi bhaji. Something involving cauliflower anyway.

[sheothebudworths]

I ticked all of them, but wtf is 'shabeena'?


'Shabina', is a womans name (but fuck all to do wih food)....dunno where 'Shabeena' comes from though.

 

[Herbsman.]

I like bhunas, I also like dopiazas (literally translates to 'two onions') and a few others that arent listed but I can't remember. Oops.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Palak paneer and paneer mutter is popular round these parts.

I am familiar with abbatoir techniques - I'm a personal injury lawyer.

Based on what I know, I don't eat halal meat. End of.

Yeah I guess 'Indian' refers to the subcontinent but it's such a catch-all-mean-nothing title. Many of the northern Indian dishes are perhaps muslim in origin including Johnny's murgh makhani Mogul food in origin; roghan, murgh, moglai. The boundaries for the West are so unclear - in the main we don't know the history and origins of what we want to eat. If we catch on, we realise that that the majority of the fish dishes come from further south, no surprises there then

Nothing unusual in that: 'Chinese food' includes szechuan, mandarin, cantonese, shanghai style, etc.
