food Curry????

ThunderChili · Jan 16, 2014

Today I tried my first curry ever and it was so good! It was extra hot green curry from a Thai restraint. The heat was ok.(I put super hot powder on everything, so tolerance is higher than an average joe) What curry's do you eat? Which curry should I try next?

JoynersHotPeppers · Jan 16, 2014

I like Thai, green, yellow and red.

Massaman curry is also good.

If you haven't already, try some of the Indian curries. The spicing is a little different than it is in the east. I like making Pork Vindaloo with Bhuts or Nagas. :mouthonfire:

What kind of ground meat do you make it from? My favorite is Lamb, but I have to make it when my wife's not around because she doesn't like the smell of it cooking.

I have never made it. It was my go to dish at this little Pakistani curry shop near one of the schools I taught at as an English teacher. I think the Pakistani version is always Lamb. Other places I have gone to, it has always been made with chicken.

The flavor and heat of Pakistani vs other version is way different too.

I thought curry was a mixture of spices? Just trying to learn here.

I like southern and Northern regions- similar to African, too. Dry up North with dried fruits like Ethiopian, Sudanese or Moroccan. Down South banana, peanuts, coconut and cassava leaves.

My understanding of it is that a spice mix (at least in India) is a Masala, and curry is a cooking style with lots of spices, and may or may not have lots of gravy in the finished dish.

Very cool Bootsie! I'm not at all familiar with Pakistani curries, so it's all grist for the mill.
