Ultimate curry thread with poll

[Furiey]

It was the first that came up when I searched for tinned tomatoes.

I buy unchopped and chop them in the tin as you do.

Going for a curry tonight, supposedly swanky place; The Bombay Brasserie. Should be nice

T'was brilliant.

I like your style but with one modification; I don't chop the tomatos, but rather I crush them with a fish-slice...i find the thicker skin and such adds to the more "asian" feeling of the curry

I could also comment, cynically, that this thread is populated with Brits/Brit residents by far.....this is the most Brit centric thread I've seen....ironic considering how curries are "Indian" in origin (well, you fellas know what I mean )

I find the tomato splattered around the kitchen tends to tempt me back to using a knife when I try other implements. I do remember trying to crush them with a spoon on one occasion, but I think alcohol may have had some involvement in the decision making that evening. The mess was not worth it.

Tennis racket the ultimate "I'm too drunk to cook" cooking implement.

I'm really partial to an authentic Thai Green curry: lemon grass, green chiles, coconut milk, and stuff.

I was put off Thai curry after one of my visits to America.

We ordered our food and within like 2 minutes they were bringing it to us. We said "that's not enough time to make any food".

It was lukewarm and the bloke I was with threw up violently outside. We didn't tip.

WTH happened to my post in this thread ages ago

Anyway perhaps a jalfrezi.

Think my law buddies and I are off to Brick Lane next week to get a curry. The only problem I find with Brick lane is the lack of street animals and then the fact that you are enticed into some establishments with offers of '12 course and 5 pints for £5' and you're left wondering just where they're making money with this....

Panang...mmmm.

I love curry. I guess if I had to choose 1 kind, I would go with either the Indian or West Indian variety. And I'm pretty sure that the curry that I've had doesn't even come close to the curry in India.

Poor form, America!

Try it if you're ever in Sydney - there's literally dozens of great places.

Thai food is hands down one of the best in the world. British food, on the other hand...

I'm quite partial to Korean, myself. Maybe Vietnamese.

An just for perfection: this is a standard can, a small can will be half the size: http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/food/tesco-value-tinned-tomatoes/1029059/

THAT DOESN'T HELP!

I have no scale to judge the can by. Is it a millimeter tall or a kilometer?

 

[Shaihulud]

What joke?! You suck the jello through the eye *slurpghhh... Of course not everyone is man enough for it.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

A joke to do with not wanting any head with my curry.

It contains 400g of tomatoes as you can read on the can. That's approx 8oz which is more important than the dimensions of the can (although if I go to the cupboard and measure one - it's approx 75mm diameter and 107mm tall. Weight will depend on contents hence I linked to a can of tomatoes. Any other info needed? Thickness of can? You'll have to wait until I next open one for that!

I think with ethnic food restaurants in the USA, you really have to know who is making the food, or the restaurant owners. Americancs aren't ashamed to sell you some fusion-junk or imitation recipe they made up themselves, and charge extra for making it sound exotic.

My favourite nearby Indian resteraunt does "Darzeeling" which is tons of onions and diced meat. It is so delicious.

I agree with the "Korma" one tho - i got a pal who only eats that
