Curry powder ...whats your favorite
| # | Post |
|---|---|
| 1 | I am using Vencat curry powder, but would like to try a change without going through all the different types . I did try years ago Empire curry powder but cant seem to find any . barry68 - 2015-03-31 11:55:00 |
| 2 | Oooh, haven't been able to get Vencat for ages, where have you been getting it from? I tried lots of others when the Vencat stopped being available but didn't rate any of them so I have resorted to making my own mix up. Pretty sure I saw Empire in Cambridge Countdown earlier this morning. jaygee1962 - 2015-03-31 12:15:00 |

| 4 | Empire Madras if you can get it, wasn't any last week in Countdown here so got the Hot one instead but yes either that or Vencat are my favourites. cgvl - 2015-03-31 15:15:00 |
| 5 | I make my own and it's yummy. pickles7 - 2015-03-31 18:38:00 |
| 6 | There is a shop in Thames that only sells curry powders, seed like black mustard and mustards - its awesome and will deliver I would imagine. Should be able to find it online. awoftam - 2015-03-31 19:08:00 |

| 14 | I put a dash of my curry mix in my scrambled eggs. jaygee1962 - 2015-04-01 07:49:00 |
| 15 | I buy just any mild curry powder (so that I can hot it up if need be) and have just bought a big bag from Davis Trading as I use a fair bit of it. Normally I prefer to use grind my own spices with my pestle and mortar but if a recipe just calls for curry powder this is what I use. Simon Holst has a fab recipe using I think about 11 different spices that I mostly grind myself so it's a bit tiring on the old arms. village.green - 2015-04-01 08:34:00 |
| 16 | Japanese curry powder comes in blockes in a flat box at countdown curried sausages are just devine with this also curried veg ritebuy - 2015-04-01 09:03:00 |
| 17 | I use a small coffee grinder to do my curry powder. jaygee1962 - 2015-04-01 09:45:00 |

What ingredients do you use ...is it mild medium or hot jaygee barry68 - 2015-04-01 10:02:00 |
| 19 | Different dishes require different flavours - currently in my fridge I have tandoori paste, masala paste, green curry paste, red curry paste and korma paste as well as sambal oelek if I want to increase the heat in any of them sarahb5 - 2015-04-01 10:03:00 |

| 22 | It's a fairly mild madras barry68. None of my curries ever taste the same and depending on the taste I want I will either use more onion, garlic, ginger or whatever before I add the curry powder, which also is always slightly different each time I mix it as nothing is ever properly measured. I used two or three different but v similar recipes as my base, one of which is this one http://www.food.com/recipe/madras-curry-powder-174350 jaygee1962 - 2015-04-01 12:42:00 |

| 28 | Basic curry powder 4tbsp ground coriander But every curry is different, better to go by the recipe than use a generic powder. biggles45 - 2015-04-03 16:22:00 |

| 30 | A lot of these places make up a 'curry' powder when they clean out the 'dip bins'. So it is unlikely you will get the same flavour twice. Grind your own from fresh whole spices or if desperate use Vencat and if really desperate Pams from PNS, New World, or Four Square snapperheadrkp - 2015-04-03 18:58:00 |

| 32 | Baba's curry powder is good. They have separate mixes for meat and fish. Available from Moore Wilsons and prob other places too. rumpelstiltskin - 2015-04-06 21:02:00 |
| 33 | I'm disappointed that our resident expert, pickles, who has her very own blog sharing heaps of recipes that she's 'crafted' all by herself, won't share her 'yummy' curry powder recipe ...c'mon pickles ...we are all here to share our special recipes, aren't we? I haven't got many, but what I have , I'm happy to share & I know you are too, so why not the home made curry powder ? We are all keen to learn, aren't we? I am. samanya - 2015-04-06 21:38:00 |
| 34 | This egg curry is delicious and very simple to make. 8 eggs, hard boiled, peeled and halved lengthwise Heat the ghee in a wide saucepan, add onion and coriander and cook gently until soft and pale gold. Add turmeric, salt, coconut, chilli and garam masala, mix well and cook 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and yoghurt, combine gently. Place eggs on top with yolks up, carefully spoon the sauce over the eggs, cover and simmer 10 minutes. Serve hot. Quote bev00 - 2016-03-22 01:07:00 |
| 35 | For a mild curry I really like the Pam's one in a plastic pottle, currently with a red/white label. Like others, I use it in all sorts including baked beans and scrambled eggs/omelettes, pureed peas and even a pinch in guacomole. I don't enjoy plain baked beans or peas so I add a lot of other ingredients to make them much tastier. trigal1 - 2016-03-23 11:58:00 |
| 36 | None, I make my own mix depending what I am making. lythande1 - 2016-03-23 14:36:00 |
| 37 | Like curries with a bit of oomph, get curry powder from Asian shop, also green and red curry paste, depending on what is being made. fifie - 2016-03-23 14:40:00 |

| 40 | cumin seeds, coriander, turmeric, ground ginger, ground cloves,cardamom seeds, cinnamon, red pepper flakes and cracked pepper - amounts to taste, but it is only a generic one that I use for a basic curry flavour ...depends what you are making - some recipes don't need all these ingredients, and some need other ingredients. biggles45 - 2016-03-23 18:38:00 |
