How do you make food with curry ?

[RedDragon]

I'm pretty like the taste of curry and have make some meals with curry in these days. I think my Curry Beef pretty delicious.

But in our city all curry is curry blocks, that means all material is already mixed in the factory, and when you cook, you just put it in the pot. But these curry tastes very similar, and I don't know if it is the same as what you Indias eat. For my own experience, the food will change their taste to cater local people. When I was in the USA, the "Chinese Food"'s taste is quite different with what I eat in China.

I'm wondering how you India cook curry in your daily life? You make your own curry or just buy curry blocks?

I don't know if it is the same as what you Indias eat.

i have eaten both, and their curry is quite different.

i think curry in china came via south east asia, so it is more similar to that type.

For my own experience, the food will change their taste to cater local people. When I was in the USA, the "Chinese Food"'s taste is quite different with what I eat in China.

you are right, chinese restaurants in the west can sometimes be very bad, especially take-away places. because their customers are mostly laowai, who cannot tell the difference anyway.

the best way to find good chinese food in the west, is to look for restaurants which have mostly chinese customers.

The curry ready made as available in S.E. Asian countries and labelled as Indian is not the authentic one or flavour . Curry as in the sense is eaten daily in india by all families i suppose and if you travel every 200kms the flavours and methods of preparing it changes.

Travel more than 50 km's and the taste is bound to change.

Curry made from 'curry blocks' = fake curry

As AV has said, the flavours change every 200 kms.

The curries should not taste the same because the it depends on the spices used to flavour the same and the smell of the cooking medium.

In the South, it is made with a whole lot of curry leaves which is their speciality and with a great amount of coconut in various form. The cooking medium is usually coconut oil.

In Bengal, East and the North use Mustard Oil/ Refined Oil.

Some parts use sesame seed oil.

Some use groundnut oil.

And today, people are using sunflower, palm, soya oil and even olive oil!

Therefore, the flavours will be different.

Only some parts of the South do that, I think mainly in Kerala and far south. My family uses very little coconut and we don't use coconut oil.

 

[Ray]

Which part does not use coconut oil?

That would correct my knowledge.

Thanks in anticipation.

Telangana does not use coconut oil.

Anyone on DFI who makes a questionable assertion can count on civfanatic to be right there on the spot to correct it. God help us when he becomes a moderator.:shocked:

I think of him looking like this:

Andhra Pradesh is an ever enchanting state, which is all the more famous for its cuisine. Spiciest of all the Indian cuisines, the cuisine of Andhra has many delicacies to boast of. The 'Nawabi' style of the state reflects in its gastronomy too. Andhra dwellers usually prefer vegetarian diet. However, people residing in coastal areas rely mostly on sea-food. Coconut oil makes the regular cooking medium for Andhra gastronomy.

What is the oil used in Telengana?

I presume by Telengana you mean Hyderabadi Muslim cuisine!
