Some dishes had sauces - your talking about the origin of chicken tikka massala which involved chicken tikka and a can of campbells cream of tomato soup...

 

[rynnor]

The older authentic indian curries used black pepper to add heat not chilli's of course.

 

[Aoami]

i get what you're saying but i would only ever consider marinating meat for say perhaps a slow cooked lamb curry, but to me that would be more North African style than sub-continental

 

[Scouse]

It was to disguise the flavour of rotting meat - thus you marinade it to cover that else you'd taste it through the sauce?

Y'see now, I used to think that but I'm not so sure any more.

Most curries in India would be vegetable based - and the country homes the highest number of vegetarians in the world. I think it just tastes bloody nice and that's why they use them

Basic Hindu's and Sikhs both eat meat - I wonder if the buddhist's are making up the numbers on vegetarians? Arent a lot of the poor functionally vegetarian - ie cant afford meat?

How many boned chicken thighs for 4 ppl? 8? 12? 16?

Will be serving with pilau rice, nan, & poppadoms

 

[Aoami]

12 should do it but 16 to be safe, and then youve got lunch for the day after if its too much

 

[Lamp]

Keep the skin on for extra flavour? Or go for skinless?

 

[Aoami]

definitely skin off!

 

[Lamp]

I tried it your way, but it made a mess of my suit jacket

Spoiler

Will try the chicken thighs without skin.

 

[Jupitus]

Don't bone them.

"Curry" in the sense we understand it, was an Indian Army invention, and yes, it was to disguise dubious quality meat. As you point out, the Hindu troops didn't really eat meat anyway, but the moslem, Sikh and Anglo troops did, and it evolved from that.

Weirdo. Best bit.

Indian curry is pretty boring. Meat or veg with seasoned gravy basically.

What we eat is a result of the empire.

 

[old.user4556]

Ratio of meat to sauce is more important in my opinion as if the sauce is as good as it should be you wont be worrying about the taste of meat, but quantity is always important.

Mmm yes; sauce + selection of breads.

You, sir, must eat in some shit places.

It's hardly surprising though. The vast majority of the UK is terribly served for decent Indian food.

This is as close as I can get to authentic Indian food, which is vastly different and superior to your average curry house.

The curry you eat in Britain is not Indian, that's my point, it's mostly British curry. I actually eat in very good curry restaurants and also cook very good (proper) curries myself. When it isn't British curry it is likely to be Nepalese or Bangladeshi.

There are a couple of fantastic Nepalese curry places where I used to live in Farnborough. We also have one of the best curry places in the region close by in Northampton.

Interesting - suprising how much is east asian in character.

Curry is simmering now for 30 mins. Smells amazing...

Bloody onions. Eyes were watering big time.

They do exist, but I know what you're saying.

Pics please. We've seen your kitchen looking all Grand Designs, but I want to see it in practice!

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Stuff everywhere. Flour spill in his underwear, even if he's not using any.

 

[Lamp]

Here it is simmering away

Had to reduce it quite a bit. The end result was superb. Quite hot. Made my nose run, but didn't break out in a sweat. Excellent combination of spices. Maybe a tad too much cumin, but I'm fairly pleased for my first attempt.

Ding. Level 2 Curry
