What's for supper - Second Course

[Tabac]

Except for the spices, his recipe isn't bad at all. I'd say try it out except toast the whole spices (mentioned at the end in the oil) before you start the onions.

Then for your ground spices use tumeric, garam masala, jeera powder, dhania powder and chilli powder.

So after using Google - Jeera (Cummin) and Dhania (Coriander and cummin) i can just use Coriander and cummin spice. Or should i use the Indian name version ?

Here is my curry mix. I also add some pepper, salt and some chilli sauce. And then to tone things down a bit, some cream if necessary.

How long does the meat need to simmer ?

I am by no means a curry expert. But I use stewing beef or mutton. So I usually leave it for at least 3 hours.

One day I will have this fancy thing to help things go faster.



Oh yes, I add a lot of carrots.

What is that ? A slow cooker ? Just another kitchen space eater.

Depends on the thickness its cut. Thin pieces and hour to hour and half. Thicker pieces 2 hours. Not rocket science, just taste it and feel if its still to tuff.

I don’t like bunny chow. Roti or GTFO.

Took me a while to figure it out what you were talking about, only when I saw to what you were replying to, did I figure it out. Dhania, normally refers to the plant itself, Jeera to the seeds. So the powder would the ground up versions of both? Maybe an Indian can confirm.

Dhania is coriander/cilantro, jeera is cumin.

They'll be sold in the market/shop as dhania powder and jeera powder, or coriander powder and cumin powder. You also get a mix of jeera/dhania powder in one packet, as they're frequently used together, the same way you get a ginger/garlic paste.

Alternatively, get the seeds yourself, toast them then grind them before using in the curry.

Both coriander and cumin should be bought as whole seeds and toasted and crushed.

I agree, which is why I mentioned it, and that's what I do, but after seeing Rajah's Curry Powder and hearing about coconut oil I reckon we should start with baby steps.

Though I think the prawns may have been a bit funky, only ate the salmon.

beef takes way longer than lamb and it builds nice flavour

some people use grated tomatoes ..i prefer bigger cut onion and tomato so it breaks down slowly with beef

but throw in cumin, coriander, paprika, kashmiri chilli powder, bay leaf, salt pepper
whatever you like

and also brown the beef 1st and remove ...then start with onions ginger garlic fresh chillies
and spices and then tomato then back to the beef

i add carrots as well but mine is more a made up curry than a durban chilli curry
