OK - all you people out there who love curries, let's hear from you *now*!!!

 

We have curry - of some part of Asia or the diaspora - several times a week.

That's us.

Indeed, curry was the first thing I ever learned to cook. And I'm not alone in

that.

 

Do you have a favourite curry recipe to share??? Let us have it now!

Wow, Pat, several times a week! Please do share your favorite(s),

especially the quickie ones with the interesting spices.

 

I do a Thai red curry the usual way: canned coconut milk, Thai red curry

paste (if you read the labels, there are a couple of them out there that

don't contain f*sh sauce, etc.), brown sugar, fried tofu, veggies, etc.

served over or with jasmine rice.

Heh heh heh You asked for it! Well, actually, there are a lot of favourites

there in the Files

section - have a look - the poster of each recipe is mentioned under the title

of the recipe

- so you can tell who has submitted each. Mine are labelled as being from Pat,

or from

GreenFury or from veggiehound (changed addresses,you see).

 

I have other spicy dishes there, but the kinds of things

you might be looking for are maybe among these:

 

Beetroot and Mushroom Curry - India

Cashew Nut Curry Sri Lanka Style

Cauliflower with Chilies and Ginger

Chickpea and Tofu Stew Punjabi Style

Curried Eggplant Sri Lanka Style

Potato,Pea and Mushroom Curry

Pumpkin, Sweet Potato and Banana Curry

Red-Gold Tofu Curry Sri Lanka Style

Sri Lankan Green Bean and Potato Curry

Tempeh Curry

Vegetable White Curry Sri Lanka Style

 

And of course other members have contributed some mind-blowing recipes! You all

should really have a look!

 

We are in the process of rearranging the recipe files, so don't be surprised if

some are in a

slightly different place next time you look. Nevertheless, for now, you should

find this an

easier way to search. The ones you might want are under Asian - first folder -

;=)

 

Best love, Pat

This isn't a recipe, but I used to add some honey to the curry sauce. Now that I

am vegan I add Agave Nectar in place of the honey. I have had a number of people

say that really like that sweetness where before they didn't like the flavor of

the curry. I cook by the seat of my pants so now I shall pay attention, sort of,

to the amounts so maybe can share. A little bit of this, a little bit of

that.......and lots and lots of garlic!

Yay, curry! I usually end up making my own from spice

combinations, but I was curry-ous (hehe) if any of you

know of sodium-free curry pastes on the market? Most

seem to be rather saturated with the stuff.

 

Thanks,

My advice to *anyone* who loves 'Indian-spiced saucy food' (the

definition of curry I'm referring to just now) is to explore the many

Indian food blogs that are out right now. Since my friends and I

began the Naughty Curry blog 3 months ago, we have learned *so much*

from other bloggers... our site links to many excellent ones. It

gives us a chance to adapt and be truly creative.

 

For example, we took a simple chicken curry recipe from Meena, who

we link to on our site, and applied the same techniques to Quorn

chicken... We learned to double the spice amounts when using mock

meat. It received lots of positive feedback!

 

Here it is (a photo is on the site):

 

 

Dahi-wali " Chicken " Curry (Mock Chicken in a Yogurt Gravy)

 

1 12-oz. package Quorn brand " chicken " nuggets

2 tsp oil

1 cup yogurt

3/4 cup onion, sliced lengthwise

1 1/2 cups diced tomatoes (we use canned)

2 tsp garlic paste or minced garlic

1 tsp cumin seeds

1 tsp paprika or cayenne

1/4 tsp turmeric

2 tsp coriander

salt

 

Heat the oil in a large skillet until its sizzle-hot, then add the

cumin seeds. When they darken a bit and start to sizzle, add the

garlic paste and saute for a minute.

 

Add the onions and cook till it turns slightly brown. Add the

paprika, coriander powder, and turmeric. Fry for about a minute.

 

Add the tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes start to soften and form

a gravy base. Add the yogurt and cook for about 2 minutes.

 

Add the Quorn " chicken " nuggets and salt, then cover. Cook for about

15-20 minutes on medium heat till the " chicken " is cooked through.
