Authentic curry isn't a thing, that's like asking someone what authentic soup is. It's a type of dish not one singular dish, a lot of asian countries make wildly different kinds of curries.

do you make your own samosa dough?


what are some staple Indian ingredients to keep
in the cupboard?

>>8969126
That's why he mentioned India specifically, I assume.

Indian curry was brought to Britain and changed to suit British tastes. British curry was brought to Japan and changed to suit Japanese tastes. They share an original source in Indian curry.

Yes, yes it is. I really like food and cooking but too many people try to get angry over food and it makes them ignorant. I've browsed 4chan since it was less than a year old, but this board made me start browsing reddit.

That is because of the homeless population.People that are not homeless defecate in a toilet.

Open defecation is such a problem in India that Unicef and Indian government had to create campaigns to get people to use toilets. It's quite funny really

What spices go into a vindaloo?

>>8971054
If I want to make a hot vindaloo without buying "curry powder" or some other "blend" and I have a mortar and pestle, what whole spices and peppers should I use?

>>8971063
>>8971070
Grind cloves, cardamoms, cumin, dried red chillis, peppercorns, ginger and garlic to a paste. Add vinegar and make a sort of spice batter. Use some of this paste to marinate your meat. Oil in pan, onions, turmeric. Meat and rest of your spice paste in. Add water and salt to bring up to desired consistency and let simmer till the meat is done to your liking.

Typically vinegar and a cashew based wine is used but since that won't be available to most just use a vinegar with a hint of sweetness to it like malt vinegar.

>>8971054
Explain curry to me.
I don't get it.

>>8968851
How much poop should I add to my food for the authentic Indian feel?

>>8971129
Will give this a try, thanks.

>>8971132
What don't you get? It's a sauce that the vegetables or meat are cooked in so the gravy flavors the meat/veg and they flavor the gravy. There are many common features to it like frying the whole or ground spices in oil, using aromatics such as ginger, garlic and onions, using tomato or tamarind for tartness but there are also a lot of uniqueness to different regions.

For example you have traditional hamichali cuisine eaten at religious functions that don't have garlic, onions, tomato or meat. Here the curries are yogurt based, cooked in mustard oil and finished with ghee. You have the meat heavy cuisine of maharashtra which is heavily spiced and has prominent use of peanuts in cooking. You have the subtle nawabi cuisine of lucknow called awadhi which is meat heavy too but more floral and aromatic than spicy. You have the mostly vegetarian hearty cuisine of Punjab based on dairy, grains and lugumes.
>>8971171
Cinnamon is sometimes used in the spice mixture too but not something that I like. If you like it go ahead and use it.

Gotta use up a lot of spinach, any ideas OP?

Did the portuguese influence Indian cuisine in any way?

>>8971825
Vindaloo is basically an Indian take on Portugese cuisine. Which is why it features vinegar and pork (neither is very common in Indian cuisine). Obviously the influence is limited to Goan cuisine. But given the fact that potatoes, tomatoes and chiles were introduced through Portugese trade primarily, you could say that the influence is huge. But in that sense Portugese influenced the entire world's cuisine.

And to answer on behalf of OP: ya

since Indian chef didn't answer my question well,

should i thicken my curries with yogurt or cream? please be as specific as possible thx chef

>>8972589
yes

>>8972557
its boolean you idiot

>>8972589
Yogurt is usually used to thicken curries without tomato or any other tart ingredient. It also has the tendency to curdle if you're not careful with the heat. Unless a recipe specifically asks for it I wouldn't use yogurt to thicken. An onion based curry thickened with a yogurt-cashew paste and spiced with whole spices makes for a great mellow yellow curry.

For most applications though, default to cream. From dal to stir fries. Almost everything in north Indian cuisine can be finished with a bit of cream. Some people consider it a shortcut since it makes dishes creamier and tastier without the need to reduce them for hours but I think its a great addition.

>>8972735
who do u think u are

why are your desserts so godawful sweet and gooey? is it cause sugar is at a premium so people want to indulge in it?

Don't you guys worship rats or something?

>>8972802
Since cane sugar comes from India and even the word sugar come from the hindi/sanskrit shakkar which comes from the sanskrit sukha (happiness) its not hard to imagine why desserts are sweet in Indian cuisine. Also most desserts are way smaller than European desserts and are meant to be intense.

Quality poster saving this thread.

What's in your opinion the best/most interesting vegetarian dishes of indian cuisine?

>>8968851
1. Do you have any ideas/recipes for cooking with a pressure cooker?

2. How do I cook Naan that is both flaky like a biscuit and still resembling traditional naan?

3. If not pressure cooking, what is the average best length of time to let a dish simmer? 2hrs? 8?

4. Help me incorporate hing and other less conventional spices into my food, like maybe cardamom into something savory like a korma?

>>8973342
>3. If not pressure cooking, what is the average best length of time to let a dish simmer? 2hrs? 8?
Depends on what you're cooking, you usually just want to cook it until the beans, meat, veg, etc. is tender and the gravy is thickened to your liking.

>>8969049
Knorr stockpot

>>8973342
i have some ideas

>>8973650
will you post an authentic curry recipe

>>8973657
yeah what type
of curey

>>8973342
Goat is often cooked in pressure cookers in an onion gravy. Goat is called mutton in most Indian recipes so you can look up mutton pressure cooker recipes.

Flaky like a biscuit implies the dough has been layered with butter. I think you're looking for a laccha paratha or a chur chur naan. But to answer your question I'd make a dough with flour, butter, yogurt, baking soda and powder and salt. Water as needed. The dough shouldn't be tacky but not too tough either. Roll out to maybe 1/8" disc. On a hot cast iron (the hotter the pan the more moisture your bread retains). Cook to almost done on either side but without brown spots. Don't flip more than once. Finish directly on the flame to get a good char. Set aside and immediately apply butter.

Simmering is up to you. Usually the longer the better but it really depends on the dish.

Hing can be used in any dal recipe. You're supposed to use it instead of garlic but it's also used with garlic to increase the garlickyness of any dish. Cardamom already goes into a korma. Any dish that is mild an aromatic can use cardamom. I'd suggest making a garam masala with cardamom, cloves, cinammon, nutmeg, mace, coriander seeds and black pepper. You can finish most savory dishes with this masala.

>>8974220
How do you make perfect korma? I feel like I always overspice and cook it too long so all the flavors blend in.

DO YOU EAT MUSTARD

ME EAT MUSTARD

>>8974432
Use less spices and don't cook it for so long

>>8974550
stop asking wrong chef

>>8974432
Korma is supposed to be mild and very rich. So use whole spices instead of ground (similar to those mentioned above but you may leave out black pepper). Fry them in a good amount of butter/ghee. Make and onion-ginger-garlic (mostly onion) paste by chopping all three very finely. Caramelize in the oil with the spices over a decent amount of time. Add turmeric and red chilli powder. Make a nut-paste of cashews, almonds and poppy seeds and mix with full fat yogurt. Add to pan after lowering the heat. Meat in (seared or not is up to you).
Cooking too long can't be a problem since it should only intensify the flavors maybe you're cooking it on too high a heat.

Dear chef...Answer the fucking question on everyones mind.
Do you use toilet paper to wipe your ass and use soap and water to wash your hands after poo'ing in the loo?

Thanks m8, I think it was regular coke with masala spice mix added.

>>8974573
Thanks man, I'll try this next time. I think the big issue is that I keep trying to adjust the flavor over time with more/different spices so it ends up tasting good but doesn't end up tasting like Korma at all.

An Indian place near me has beef kofta on the lunch buffet.

A coworker described the workers there as "sick northern bastards" because of those meatballs and damn near got us into a fight.

WTF?

Probably Pakistani place. Apart from Pakistan only Bengal and Kerala consume beef in mentionable quantities. But neither are northern so I don't know what your friend was on about. Regardless in the west there are plenty of Indian restaurants who serve beef too.

What is the best recipe for chicken tika masala? All the online ones taste completely different from very good Indian restaurants.....

>>8978013
Chunks of ginger and garlic along with whole cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cloves and black cardamom lightly sauteed. Turmeric. Tomato puree in. Reduce for as long as feasible over low flame. Strain to remove whole spices and fiber. Chicken thigh marinated in yogurt, lime juice, garam masala and ginger garlic paste for 2-3 hours. Under the broiler till done. Into the tomato gravy. Cook for some time. Salt and red chilli powder. Make it slightly saltier and hotter than you like. Heat off. Cream. Fenugreek leaves dry roasted and powdered. Finish with cilantro if you like it.

>>8978213
What would be the difference in making butter chicken?

>>8978013

That's a good recipe anon posted. Don't forget that your technique matters a lot too, not just the literal choice of ingredients. Watch some indian street cooks work on Youtube. Pay attention to when they add what ingredients. In what order. At what heat level. I've learned a ton from watching experts like this--don't just read/listen to words, but observe.

>>8975498
That's actually not what's happening here.
It's common for Hindus to bless new expensive things before using them (e.g. a car, a TV, a new home, etc). Here, the village presumably got its first actual toilet so that's what they're doing.

It's similar to all those images you see of Orthodox priests blessing Russian weapons or server rooms or whatever with holy water. No worship happening here. They will shit in that toilet.

>>8978466
>They will shit in that toilet.

Maybe not. There are plenty of places in India where it is considered unclean to shit or piss indoors. There is an honest problem where aid organizations install plumbing & sanitary facilities but people won't use them because it's considered unclean. google it.

>>8978449
It's the same recipe man. Butter chicken is what ctm comes from. One possible difference is butter chicken may use chicken that hasn't been made in the tandoor. Whereas that's a requirement for ctm.

>>8978460
Seconding this. Recipes are good but mean nothing without technique. That's why so many people's first attempt at curry just tastes like curry flavored stew with coconut cream. Also another thing that'll only come with time is the amount of each spice to use. When people talk about curries tasting muddled it's usually because they didn't use the correct spice in the right proportion. Turmeric and cardamom are the worst when it comes to being overused. Since they are the most quintessentially Indian spices people think they should be used in large quantities. A little goes a long way with both. Coriander powder on the other hand is usually underused.
