anyone good at this? I've tried quite a few times and I can get it sorta close to the restaurants but not really, I can get quite that rich depth, nor the ridiculous thickness of the curries they can achieve.
 
right, use a fuck load of oil because thats what they do in the restaurants. (vegetable oil - not olive oil.. olive oil if not heated to the right temperature 1st it creates a terrible taste)

if you want to make it real thick use corn flower. blend around maybe 2 - 3 heaped spoons in a glass of cold water and add it half way through cooking. rice powder can also be used, ar powered spuds. they will all help thicken it up. and make sure you cook it seriously slow, otherwise it becomes very runny.

also, don't add your meat too early, otherwise it will break up when your cooking and stirring, pre-boil example your chicken and add it half way through your curry's cooking session

and be sure to mic up the pot with a decent sm57 to catch the mid range frequencies of the pot's cooking process. compress accordingly :)


thats my deed of the day!
 
Indian food makes me cower in fear.

Here's Andy attempting a curry hell challenge, with what appears to be george alagiah from the bbc news

i was fuckin owned, i lost control of my face and legs. Even Adam D couldnt manage it. Me and D actually went head to head on curry heat, we did 10 phals at 10 different restaurants in 14 days. One of the worst being the Mogul in Nottingham which saw myself, scott atkins and Adam in a vicious battle of heat. Curry Hell was a whole new beast tho.

beer is your friend in such situations
 
I like indian food. I also like asian food. I don't like the national dishes of my country. (some of you might remember the horrific images in the national dishes thread)
 
i dont even try to match indian restaurant cooked curry when i cook curry at home, so i make it totally my own.
lots of bird eye chillis, chopped up and added in liberally, a nice thick tomato sauce, chicken breast and brown rice \m/
