Best Wishes, Wee On Behalf Of greatyoga Monday, June 12, 2006 4:57 AM Ginger Curry Ginger Curry 1 cup ghee 3 cups ginger, sliced in matchstick pieces. 4-5 onions 20 cloves garlic 2 Tbsp. brown mustard seeds 4 Tbsp. turmeric 2 tsp.ground cardamon 2 tsp. black pepper 2 tsp. ground fennel seeds 1/2 gallon yogurt soy sauce to taste Put a little ghee in pan. I used a cast iron Dutch oven. Put mustard seeds in and stir until they pop. Add rest of ghe and add ginger and saute until it is golden brown and add onions. Saute for quite awhile until mixture is like soup. Add rest of the spices and yogurt and heat for 10 minutes. Add soy sauce to your taste. Serve with Basmati rice, a steamed green vegetable and mango pickle. Mango pickle is not chutney. It is an unripe mango mixed with oil, vinegar or lemon juice and spices.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Wee I bought mine at an Indian food store. Sometimes they are pretty cheap as this was. I don't have the label anymore. Usually, it is spices like turmeric, garlic, fenugreek, asafoetida, etc. Everyone makes it differently. Since you are in Scotland, I think it would be easy to get since there are so many Indians in England and I would presume in Scotland. There are also different types of pickles like carrot, lemon, garlic, etc. Some are also without oil GB , " Wee K Chew " <techiewee wrote: > > GB, > > " Mango pickle is not chutney.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Hello GB, I am grateful for the reply :-) Heh, I am not located anyway near Scotland and if I was, I would be popping in to see my friend, Christie, lol. Scotland is roughly an 8 hour journey, by car. I am actually located in a small village called Ashford, Middlesex(near Heathrow Airport). I can get to Heathrow Airport in 10 minutes on a good run :-) So, if any of you are visiting UK, please... Yes, you are correct. They are many Indian shops in UK. I will find that jar of Mixed Spices and check out your recipe. It sounds good to me and I will be increasing the hotness. I want to burn my lips and eat ice-cream :-) BVest Wishes, Wee On Behalf Of greatyoga 12 June 2006 19:27 Re: Ginger Curry -GB Wee I bought mine at an Indian food store.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Hey, you would be most welcome, Wee! Strangely I grew up in Middlesex, but further north, in Harrow. Imagine if I still lived there I would often be popping in to see what you were cooking, lol. I would bring the ice cream - my current favourite is cardamom ice cream by Hill Station which is really yummy. Have you tried making kulfi? A nice mango or pistachio and cardamom kulfi would be good to follow your curry - hey I might even fly down the Heathrow for that.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Sorry Wee, I thought both you and Christie lived in Scotland. I would like to go to the UK and Europe and a lot of other places I have never been to see. I do feel fortunate living here in Alaska. Every year we have a pair of bald eagles that come to our highest tree on the corner of our property that overlooks a small valley. I saw them for the first time yesterday.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Okay Christie, What's kulfi? It sounds Indian though. Do you have a recipe for it? >GB , " christie_0131 " <christie0131 wrote: > > Hey, you would be most welcome, Wee! Strangely I grew up in > Middlesex, but further north, in Harrow.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Kulfi is Indian ice cream, GB. It is very dense, made from khoya which is full cream milk which has been heated for about an hour so that it becomes very thick. They serve it at my favourite Indian vegetarian restaurant, The Kalpna, here in Edinburgh and I made it myself many years ago. It was so good that I knew I'd probably live on a diet of kulfi which didn't seem healthy so I never made it again. I have hunted for the recipe and cannot find it yet. I found a recipe online and another in my ancient Jack Santa Maria Indian Vegetarian Indian Cookery book, neither of which sounds quite right but I will try to recreate the one I made and post the recipe if successful. I feel sure it comprised khoya, sugar, cardamom, rosewater, pistachios and a few flaked almonds. I've also had mango kulfi which is very good.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Sounds good. I wonder if you could sub evaporated milk but that would not be full cream milk.
