I want to make curry at a family dinner. The recipe calls for

Yes.
2 sounds good.
Have you ever made a spaghetti sauce before? You only put 2 or 3 leaf in the whole thing.

>Clous de girofle

spices don't necessarily scale well, but 6 cloves in a curry is not a big deal, they are being balanced by other things

As for me, I recommend buying enough McChickens, the best fast food sandwich, to feed your family.

6 cloves definitely sounds like it would be overpowering.
Also >>>/pol/

They are not gonna like it.

6 cloves is unusual for a curry, because curry taste is intense enough that such amount of garlic doesn't doesn't dominate it at all.

And that means even if you lower the garlic content, the rest will be just too intense for their taste. Unless you water it down to hell and back, whiich will be terrible on its own.

Don't waste your effort. Pick something more "conservative".

Garlic is the best. You should probably just go ahead and put a whole bulb in there.

Is this garlic cloves? or the spice clove?

Why not start out mild and not heavily spiced with this crowd. Make a simple yogurt marinaded baked chicken with a moderately small amount of garam masala, and more of friendlier spices, lots of fresh ginger, garlic and lemon zest. Hit it with chilies and cilantro, in a personal amount, passed at the end. Should make everyone happy!

Next time you want really good advice about balance, paste the whole recipe.

Thanks for the quick rundown

>>8587115
Cloves are tiny, I don't see how 6 would be too much. I guess you could scale it down to 3 or 4 just in case, it shouldn't really affect the flavor.

>>8587115
Your moms just a stupid old haggard whore. Next time she says something like that slap the cunt. One more time and she gets a knife in the fucking throat.

If your family dont like the curry then just ell them to get the fuck out and go eat somewhere else. Man up you fucking pussy.

I'm dating an Indian girl so we make curry often, so I'll try to give me input from what I've picked up from her.
I'm American, so I had to look up Lb to kilo, (2.2 lbs for every kilo).
The amount of cloves sound okay, maybe could go down to five to be safe. The cardmom pods should be reduces to 6. Also, it's critical that after you've thouroughly cooked the gravy (mixture of onions, ginger, garlic, tomatoes, thai chili peppers and spices) you've got to put it into the blender.
If you don't do this, it won't be homogenized and you'll occasionally bite down on a cardamom pod, which is unpleasant when it's not dispersed throughout.

Correction, you're a dumb american that has never had an elementary science class.

Truly the worst

Reading too difficult for the European brain?

Fuck off. Blow their minds with black cardamom, asafoetida and fermented ghee op

Your mother is wrong. It's a curry, for fuck's sake, tell the bitch to go back to her thanksgiving turkey.
But yeah you want to scale down on the spices a bit if your family is not used to them. 6 cloves and 8 cardamon pods per kilo is a bit too by most western countries standards. Maybe halve that?
This applies to other spices too, but each scale differently, so good luck pal.

>>8590155
Correction, you're just a dip shit. It has jack shit to do with your nationality.

That amount is fine imo. If things get overpowering add more cream rather than make a weak base in the worst place. One thing you can do is put the cardamom cloves and cinnamon in a muslin bag to infuse the flavor and take it out at the end.

If you're not used to Indian biting into whole spices can be disconcerting. Thats more of a worry than too much clove flavor imo.
