I have always like curry dishes but laltely have been trying my hand at cooking some of the various styles like...
Indian Chinese Jamiacan Thai Anyone like to cook curry? |
|
Curry's good. It's my usual choice from the local Thai restaurant. I'm not much of a cook and haven't tried making any myself.
Also, poop thread! |
|
Love it!
For home recipes, I usually use Patak's concentrated Hot Curry Paste. A little goes a long way. |

Golden Curry is best when I'm hungry AND lazy. Mix with browned hamburger and let simmer for about 15 minutes then add onions and water chestnuts. After another couple minutes of simmering it's good to go. Do the dishes as you go and all you'll have left to wash is the bowl and spoon. It's the "no brainer" dinner. |
|
I make different Indian style curry dishes a couple times a month.
I like using Patak's brand curry pastes to make things easy. If your local grocer doesn't carry their stuff, Amazon does. |
|
I don't like it, but I make thai red curry for my wife sometimes.
|
|
My wife make me curry about once a week. Prepackaged curry powder and red curry paste. I am a lucky guy.
Moose make a fantastic curry. |
|
Thai curry paste is great. You can use fresh kafir leaves, lemon grass, chilies, etc.
I make green curry chicken with basil, fresh got peppers, coconut milk and bamboo shoots. |

We make green, red and yellow curry.
Favorite curry restaurants are Thai and Indian, so my recipes tend to favor those as starting points. Start with curry powder or paste of various types and a basic recipe. Then add meat and veggies. Then modify the recipe over time to fit our tastes, or the meat and veggies on hand. |
|
Thai Panang curry is one of my all-time favorite dishes. I've found that the Maesri brand cans of panang curry paste will yield results at least as good as the local restaurants.
Fry the paste in a little coconut oil, dissolve it into some coconut milk, add lime juice, fish sauce, a little peanut butter, and sliced green bell peppers towards the end (I want them to still be crunchy when I bite them), and then put in your choice of meat. Serve over jasmine rice. It reheats very well, too. |

I make curry. Prefer Thai style.
I have curry paste for green, red, and masman in my fridge. |

I love all the ones you mentioned plus Japanese and Javanese as well. Try them .

While living in Jamaica we used this prepared curry powder quite often. I think one of the biggest differences in Jamaican curry is that is contains allspice (ground pimento berries).
http://www.amazon.com/Karjos-Easispice-Curry-Powder-Seasoning/dp/B00DC7INJS?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 Another one that's real nice is ... http://www.amazon.com/Jamaican-Choice-Curry-Powder-6-25/dp/B00S3O8O8A/ref=sr_1_2_s_it?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1459987959&sr=1-2&keywords=choice+jamaican+curry Both of these are fairly mild on the heat index which I prefer. The real hot ones are good for a couple of bites but I like to be able to enjoy my food. |

I cook a really good thai green curry.
Making your own paste is easy if you have a lot of asian grocery stores around, and I grow my own basil and thai peppers. I have several Lotte and H-marts around me with all the right herbs, spices, and produce. I don't buy meat at them, though. There are better places for that. |

I've had Chinese curry and Indian Curry. I liked the Indian curry way better. Yellow curry on both.
I have not had Thai curry yet. I've only had Thai food a handful of times. Nicely done stuff. There was one place in Watertown NY that was very good but the place was a more fancy sit down place with linen cloths and napkins etc so I didn't have cause to go there a lot. Definitely was done by a chef who cared about his food and his presentation. |

The same family owns a Pho restaurant next door. Eat dinner, then shopping. I try to impulse buy different curry types. Some have been very good and some have met the trash.... |

Last summer, we accidentally ended up with a lemon basil plant. Surprisingly good in moderation. Too much would overwhelm the dish with 'lemon'. |

For those of you who use prepackaged curry powders, find a recipe for an Indian garam masala or Jamaican curry powder, then roast and grind the whole spices yourself. It'll smell glorious and you'll never look back. I've got a good Jamaican curry powder recipe I use in a lot of stuff, but Indian dishes always have seasoning specific to certain dishes, so they're a lot more involved but you really appreciate the differences between a Goan masala and a Kashmiri masala making it yourself. I've made thai pastes, and I'm not sure if they're more "authentic" but I admit I kinda prefer the prepackaged thai pastes.

I do a thai curry a couple times a month. The wife and I both love them, along with some tom ka and some spring rolls.
I experimented with Indian curries for a while but found out I didn't like them enough to bother making them repeatedly. I would like to try making butter chicken sometime, though. |

Panang curry I make pretty good it's awesome on whole fried fish with vegies n Basmati rice.

As a child I remember coming in through the back door and feeling my heart sink as I smelled the repulsive odor of curry powder in the house. Mom would make lamb curry over rice and I detested it.
How one's taste changes. I sure love them now. Indian, West Indian, Thai....they're all good. One of my favorite Habanero hot sauce recipes uses curry powder an an ingredient. Home Style Inner Beauty Hot Sauce Recipe |

I cannot recommend the yellow and red curry powders sold on occasion at Aldi. They're spices mixed in a jar of salt. Yuk.
Penzey's sells excellent curry powder ("Maharajah"). If you're lucky enough to have a West Indian grocery nearby they sell large jars of hot curry powder. Usually yellow curry as they contain lots of turmeric (which is a natural anti-inflammatory and is regarded as a super-food). |

I'll see if my daughters can find it. My wife and I have been writing/printing recipes for 15 years. Then we fold them up and stuff them in the 'recipe box'. Daughters have have had enough of "Find recipe for X" and have been organizing them into a three ring binder. If they know where the butter chicken recipe is, I'll try to remember to scan it and post it. |

If you have access to the fresh ingredients to make the types of curry paste you like do your self a favor and do so . If you don't own a mortar & pestle then you've never made a curry paste or salsa or guacamole etc......
The dry curry I've been obsessed with lately is Indonesian Ayam . Here is a list of regional curry blends I keep on hand Besar Capetown Masala Caribbean Continental Indonesian Ayam Kashmiri Madras South Indian Pakistani Poudre De Colombo Sri Lankan Tandoori Turkish Vadouvan one of my favorites Garam Masala - Indian Garam Masala - Kashmiri Masala - Chaat Masala - Kala Masala - Sambar Masala - Tikka Curry Pastes S&B Golden Curry or Vermont Curry for Japanese style Mae Ploy every type for Thai curry As far as Indian pastes I haven't found one that was worth purchasing . |

I've never cooked it myself, but the Indian in my office does.
It's great eating the food when your house doesn't stink. |

I always use Mae Ploy yellow curry paste when cooking chicken curry, along with coconut milk, and various spices (whole cumin, cardamom, coriander etc) and always finish is with a sprinkling of dried fenugreek leaves. The flavor added by the fenugreek is amazing! You don't need much and you won't want to cook it down, only add it after the cooking is done and the sauce is cooling.

I use whole seeds instead of ground spices or grind them just before using because the flavor diminishes. As far as fenugreek, any cooking at all will take away most of the flavor which is why I add it after the dish is cooling. |
