Default Let's talk about curry

Who else likes curry.. I love vindaloo (built up to it very slowly) and its just right, perfect with naan bread and crispy poppadoms. Has anyone tried a Phall? I had it once but really didnt enjoy it.. It burnt my tongue to bits.. I find with the hot ones you're ok as long as you dont breathe it in!

it's OK, but I'm not sure what the British obsession is with it, they don't even eat it in India.

Yep, drowning in vindaloo is not recommended.

I love all Indian food. I went to uni in Bradford, which had really good basement cafes where you could get a bowl of home made vindaloo and three chappatis for a quid back in the '80s. Eutopia.

The best Phall I ever had was in Majorca of all places, but it very much depends on the chef/cook. One man's Phall is another man's madras and vice versa.

I even like bombay dak crumbled on a good curry, but it's hard to come by since the health scare ban a few years ago, which was utterly ridiculous.

And now I'm really hungry. Cheers Tav.

After many years of curry/lager night outs, I can tell you the whole things a joke... I have several good sources that say "Thats NOT how they have it." If you go into a curry house with a load of loud lads they spice it up, mostly pepper and cummin, so it burns your mouth out. If you go in alone with a girl its as mild as you like...

It was devised by a British colonial because the meat turned rotten so quick. Its a way of eating rotten meat so you can't taste.

Basically if you have a hot curry, you will have the trotts... Its a waste of time... Curry to me is just an all in one dish. I'd rather have a a roast dinner any day...

With respect mate thats not true tosh about giving you the trotts and a all in one dish!
Curry has been a fav in our family since my grandad worked in India as a RAF copper, my nan was taught by the locals and the knowledge was passed to my dad and then to me.
I can rustle up a bum burning meat monster for my dad and the males(or one or two of the ladies in our family) or a subtle favored fish curry for my partner.
It all depends, i used to eat my curries hotter than a phall but as ive got older ive eased off to more tasty dishes, cooked with proper ingredients(minus the gee).

Anyway great thread!

But thats the difference. When you make it yourself... I am really speaking more of curry house's. Its very much an especting thing that the dish is raging hot when a load of lads go. Plus its not just Indians, its Pakistani's and kashmir establishments. Generally most ingrediants are the same.... Bit like an English stew...

I would eat roast gammon/beef with yorkshire puddings, peas and carrots and roast potatos and swede any day over a curry. Dont forget the gravey, nice and thick so you can almost stand the spoon in it!

I like a well made curry with a coupe of Nan's and lots of Basmati Rice. Mainly home cooked and prepared with authentic ingredients and fresh.

Mind you, I am very cosmopolitan regards food and enjoy lots of continental dishes - variety is the spice of life! I don't liike 'fast food' or 'Junk food' except on the odd occaision when I have a good old 'Cod n Chips' from our local chippy.....
