Curry Thread

Didn't see a dedicated one so created one :)
 
Been having a curry craving for a while so managed it a couple days ago.
 
-500gr Dried beans soaked 4 hours
-PC cooked for 20min (till soft)
-Spice mix- 60gr Coconut organic
                  1 tbsp Cumin
                  2 tbsp Turmeric
                  1 tbsp seasoning mix
                  1 tbsp org Coriander powder
                  1 tbsp Whole cardamon
                  1 cup Chines Cayenne (in this case)
                  1/2 tsp salt (to taste)
 
-Blitz mix and then add to chickpeas in pot, rise cooker in this case. Boil for 20min, add 1/2cup raisins (optional) and simmer another 30 min.
The raisins adds a nice body of slight sweetness to the mix.
 
I jarred 1.5L for later consumption :)

Ya'll killing me with all that curry so I scrounged the cabinets and tried to cook. I learned I need to either make my curry or find a good premade source.
I fried some garlic in olive oil

Removed the garlic and browned some beef rib slices

Once done added some of my beef stock with onions
I bought 2 types of curry to try a few weeks ago and ended up using both of them

Added a heaping tablespoon of pepper paste

Are those curry leaves you have floating on the top?

The Thai Kitchen paste is not bad and its lower in sodium BUT it is REALLY expensive. The Mae Ploy is much cheaper and also contains shrimp paste. Maesri has no shrimp, less salt than Mae Ploy but they do add sugar.
 
Oh yeah, Singapore curry noodles with beef, white onion extra pepper flakes and Laksa....Oh and a splash of some Redboat!!!

Persicaria odorata
Laksa leaves aka Kesum aka Praew leaf aka Vietnamese coriander aka Rau ram
 
Flavor is similar to cilantro. Very nice plant to grow since it clones extremely easy and wont bolt in sub tropical climates. I need to take cuttings this week and get my indoor plants going. NONE of my markets sell it. I lucked out and found plants at 1 nursery.

Maybe some Caribbean Reds instead since ive got a couple more fresh ones? LOVE that hab aroma with beef curry!!!
 
3.2 pound roast brown at 350F or higher
 
Fry in 1tbs coconut oil and dripping from the roast:
1 small can Maesri Panang paste....use the red if you want it more spicy

2 Thai Giant Orange finely minced
1 Caribbean Red finely minced
 
Return roast to pot and baste well with the paste/veggie mixture
2 cups water

I'm making some chicken curry tonight which i'll post pictures of tomorrow but has anyone ever had raisins with their curry? I haven't looked through this entire thread to see if it's been mentioned already but it's amazing. Pretty popular in other countries.
 
The first time my father in law who is from asia told me about it I was wondering if he was joking but turns out it's pretty good. It's very balanced with the heat and flavor or curry.
