[wimp]

Made a chicken curry and will make chapatis with it when it is ready. Sometimes make a lamb curry too.Interested to know what kind of curry's you make and what you put in?Like to try something different and away from the usual.Can you give me some advice please!

I think, a curry is a curry, you can be more adventrous with 'side dishes' like dhal, or unusual vegetables, like bhindi (Okra or ladies fingers) in case you don't like them, the whole meal or at least main course isn't ruined. If in an Asian grocers I usually ask about a certain vegetable if I don't know it, I ask how I would serve it, they say - oh treat it like a potato, peel boil until just soft, add blah blah spices.
Got a nice green bean recipe very simple yet tasty to go with tandoori fish. If anybody wants it I'll post it in recipes

the best curries are the ones you make up as you go along. I like to make lemon rice to go with mine. I squeeze the juice into the water whilst boileing and add the grated or roughly cut lemon rind to the rice at the last minute .

I use Bhut Jolokia chillies. Hot hot hot!

I reckon bubble and squeak with a few added spices was probably the first English curry.

I'm intrigued to know what people mean by 'Curry'.

I might have to start a new thread.

None, never had a curry in my life.

I'ts because I have never liked the look or the smell of them, Eccles.

Best curry I have tasted is Delia Smiths Beef Dopiaza which you can get on line.

Eccles don't forget the coconut!! Although tbh if I am making a generic curry I do like to add sultanas!!

Make our meals more healthier (and cheaper) we've swapped meat curries and only have veggie curries now, I think butternut squash has to be my favourite, it really soaks up the curry juice and tastes delicious (one good sized squash will probibly do us 2/3 curries)
leak and baby corns are nice too, we quite often put some cashew nuts in too (asda and aldis do a cheap bag of cashew nuts 75p which are quite salty but good for adding to recipe's)

The last one i made was a Ghurka goat curry similar to this http://recipes.wikia.com/wiki/Nepali_Goat_Curry. Often though I make it up as I go along sometimes using rogan josh or madras paste as a starting point. I also like fruity curries and add sultanas, pineapple or mango chutney.

When the sparklets were little we used to camp for all our holidays, food had to be cooked on just two rings,
Spam curry was their favourite.
Boiled rice on one ring
Wok on the other
in wok, fry a diced onion, tin of mexicorn, peas. tin of spam (cubed) throw in boiled rice and fry off with a splash of soy sauce.
make a pan of curry sauce .
Serve rice with curry sauce poured on top, The nicest easiest curry sauce we have found is the powdered one they sell in the butchers. Its a fruity curry and really tasty.
