I cook curry very well. What about you do you like curry or can you cook curry? If yes what type of curry do you prefer?

    No offense meant, Ms Selvia, but any food prepared with curry turns me off. May be, it's the smell. My Indian colleague always brings samosa in the office, but he sees to it that my share has no curry seasoning.
    1. Selvia
      Sorry,just curious the smell you are talking about. Is it the spice smell that puts you off
  2. Selbon
    Oh no no no, I once asked our Indian station help to cook dinner for me. I gave him money for the things he needed plus my flat key so he could cook before I arrive.

    As I opened my door an awful smell confronted me, I had to open all my windows to rid off the smell. Even my kitchen utensils captured the aroma.

    I called back our station help to pick up the curry.
    1. Onchong
      Are we talking about the same smell ??? ha ha ha!!!
    2. Selbon
      Yes, for 2 days I didn't enter my kitchen.
    3. Selvia
      I simply dont get it? I will now continue cracking my head until I know what smell it was
  3. jafabrit
    yes, I love curry, indian and thai. I learned to cook curry as a child from my uncle who was from pakistan and often mix my own spices. I particularly like punjabi curries. I also like curries using coconut milk
    1. Selvia
      That is great but a friendly advice try using low fat or full cream milk instead of coconut milk if you are cooking very often. Once in a while will not do any harm.

    i love curry, i can cook it. i also love the smell since with the dish i usually make curry is only used to color it and thicken it. So the smell is not bad. People who talk trash about curry r losers
    1. jafabrit
      I love the smell of most food lol, curry included.
    2. LolitaV
      you eat couscous too? my favorite in the whole wide world and my soon to be lunch 2day
    3. jafabrit
      Yep, I like couscous too.
  5. aningeniousname
    I love all curries but my absolute favourite is definitely Chicken balti with basmati rice and garlic naan.
  6. snappysparrow
    i love all curries but i hate the smell
  7. crpitt
    Love curry and the smell is wonderful all that spice is great.

    I can cook quite a few curries, Indian and Thai.

    Favourite is probably a spicy red thai prawn curry.
    1. jafabrit
      I LOVE thai red curry with shrimp, YUM!
    2. crpitt
      Not tried it with shrimp, but it there cant be much difference lol

      I like mixing the red and green paste together, then use tomatoes instead of coconut sometimes, tis very yum.
    3. aningeniousname
      That's the trouble with Thai curries usually they are too coconutty (If that's a word!)
    4. crpitt
      If it isn't, it is now

      I agree about the sometime over coconuttiness, also coconut is on the dads food 'nono list' so I try and avoid it.
    5. aningeniousname
      If I make a Thai style curry I usually swap the coconut milk for yoghurt works just as well. I bloody love those hot bird's eye chillies they always use in Thai curries.
    6. crpitt
      Just natural yoghurt?
    7. aningeniousname
      No a Muller corner cherry and dark chocolate or if I'm out of yoghurts I will add strawberry angel delight.
    8. crpitt
      Not hot yoghurt?
    9. aningeniousname
      Women! Everything has got to degenerate into filth with you people!
    10. crpitt
      As if you weren't going to go there.
    11. aningeniousname
      Not me, you must have confused me with that pervert Dbowles. I'm a very spiritual person my thoughts centre mainly on planes higher than the base physical level.
    12. aningeniousname
      Double post
    13. aningeniousname
      Thank you, I redden them myself.
    14. aningeniousname
      Hearing you talk like that makes me wish I hadn't swapped my ovaries for a multi coloured slinky and a broken pen with a naked lady on it, you smooth talking devil!
    15. aningeniousname
      Ok I'll do it! But I must warn you I will not be able to wear white, is beige ok lover boy?
    16. Selvia
      I think you are right if the spice combinations are right the curry will turn out well.
  8. nothingprofound
    I don't like spicy foods or anything with curry. Too bad. I can see I'm missing out on something.
    1. crpitt
      Not all curry is spicy (hot), or is it the actual spices you don't like?
    2. nothingprofound
      I don't like any spice that burns my tongue, throat or mouth. If there are curries that don't do that, I could probably enjoy them.
    3. crpitt
      There are tons!
    4. nothingprofound
      Any dishes you might suggest. We have some wonderful Thai and Indian restaurants in town.
    5. crpitt
      What ingredients to do you like in particular? What meat and vegetables etc
    6. nothingprofound
      I'm a vegetarian, but I do eat fish. I like all rice and noodle dishes, and love shrimp.
    7. LolitaV
      safe to say that if i cooked for you, you'd end up with diarrhea. My food is so hot, it makes my nose run, my throat burn and my ears red.
  9. hayesstw
    I like most kinds of curry, except when made with chicken or fish -- stuff with nones in it. Breyani is my favourite, though nowadays it usually comes out of tins.
  10. cooltool
    i can cook only eggs , but i can cook them in 1001 diff ways.

    We cook thai curries at our house (not worried about the coconutiness). My favorite is Masaman Beef curry. It's a red curry, and we make ours extra spicy.

    I also like curried basil prawns. It's a green curry dish that is nice and hot.

    I agree that the fish sauce in our curries gives the kitchen a -ahem- pungent aroma. But, it's an ingredient you can't do without if you're going to cook a Thai curry.

    We usually serve ours with Jasmine rice. Delicious!
    1. crpitt
      A whole bottle of fish sauce leaked in the fridge, that was not fun to clean up!
    2. crpitt
      It was awful and now when I spray a certain air freshener it just reminds of that day, blurghh!

      But the masaman beef curry sounds yum!
    3. MidwestMom
      The best part about it is that hubby does all the cooking. I just chop the ingredients and he goes to work. When it's done, it's like delicious magic.

      ... and where I live, there is no 'fish sauce' air freshener. Can you imagine what the ads would be like?

      [Neighbor enters house. Eyes closed, she takes a deep breath]

      Neighbor: Marge, your house smells so... different! What is that lovely scent?

      Marge: [overenthusiastically]Why it's something new from Airwick! "Fish Sauce Fresh" makes the whole house smell like fermented fish heads! I just can't get enough of it!

      Neighbor: Wow. [sniffs deeply again] It makes me ... hungry. [pulls prawns from purse] Let's get cooking!

      Marge: I thought you'd never ask! [the two disappear, arm in arm, happily into the kitchen.]
    4. crpitt
      Lmao! It was the air freshener that I used that day to get rid of the smell, but now when I spray it, I am just reminded of the fish sauce.
    5. MidwestMom
      LOL ... that makes a LOT more sense to me.
    6. crpitt
      Ha! Although fish sauce freshener would be a great gift for people you don't like
    7. aningeniousname
      It would be better as a feminine hygiene product.
    8. MidwestMom
      You'd think that, wouldn't you? Nasty aardvark.
  12. SweetViolet
    I don't care for Thai or Malay curries...I don't like coconut or peanuts.

    But my husband's auntie makes the best chicken curry in the world...and my MIL makes a mean egg curry.

    It's nice to be married into an Indian family...
    1. Selvia
      indian curry are the best
  13. runningshoes
    prawn and ladyfinger curry.....no one on this planet can cook it better than my mom....yes no one...not even CA.
  14. Selvia
    I cook curry but the smell is very appitizing. I wish I could curry for all of you who had bad experience with curry.
  15. ranist22
    Simple potato curry with plain rice. I love it.
  16. nogueira
    I don't like it very much. I'm not a fun of india cuisine. Once I was invited to a barbecue for a couple of England Embassy in Brazil. Oh god, they put curry everywhere! I think curry is very strong and people need to moderate and maybe it will taste better.
  17. kyken
    I like curry, but can't take everyday, not so healthy.
    1. Selvia
      Yes I agree curry cooked with coconut milk is not healthy if you eat it all the while but curry using low fat milk is ok.
  18. ismsandologies
    My favorite thing about curry getting Indian curry with enough fresh spices I can smell them on myself an hour or two later. It's sick, oh yes, but it's true. Paneer Makhani Masala. Mmm.
  19. stellak
    I like a nice thai curry with a big bowl of jasmine rice
    1. Selvia
      You should try curry with Basmathi rice. It is a good combination.
    2. stellak
      Thanks will try it
  20. crazyTsu
    How dare you talk about curry .. mommy .. where is mommy .. boo hooo mummmyyyyyyyyyy
  21. carsonfb
    My wife and I make curry dishes for dinner fairly frequently (about once or twice a week). I prefer brown curry sauce over red and don't care for green curry at all.

    In terms of favorite foods I like Rogan Josh, curried sweet potato soup, various chicken recipes, and anything with lentils.

    Also, unless we are pressed for time, we only use fresh ginger, cilantro, etc. instead of pre-mixed curry powder.
    1. Selvia
      I seldom cook green curry too. I agree with you that brown gravy curry is good
    1. Selvia
      Oh yes okra is one of the best vegetable to be added in fish curry.
  22. crazyTsu
    no .. no fish just okra
    1. carsonfb
      Mmmmmm. Okra.
  23. crazyTsu
    On second thoughts, I like cauliflower better
    1. Selvia
      cauliflower masala yummy
    2. crazyTsu
      sorry .. cabbage
  24. SaNn
    I like chicken curry...
  25. Arcticulates
    I love curry.. I dump our american powered version on chicken all the time.. I love the smell of curry too.. I didn't realize that there were different varieties of curry until a friend from India came and cooked for us and he showed me how to make curry from scratch and gave me a lesson on the different types and spices used. It was fun and interesting and tasted fantastic!
    1. Selvia
      Yes there are so many ways to cook curry. Thai curry, north and south indian curry, the Malay curry and aalso Chinese style cuurry.
  26. AronSora
    Tofu curry is epic.
    1. Selvia
      My son adores tofu curry. He doesnt mind having it for lunch almost everyday.
  27. kyken
    Curry is not healthy, but i like it so much, especially eat Banana Leaf Rice with fish curry.
    1. crazyTsu
      What kind of curry you eat? I thrive on curry because it's the BEST way to package vegetables into your diet.

      Seriously, the world needs to be educated on the concept of cooked vegetables
    2. Selvia
      Curry is healthy if you know how to cook it the right way.
  28. Selvia
    crazyTsu I totally agree with you, curry is one of the best ways to consume vegetables
  29. ThinkingUhuru
    A good Thai green curry for me!
  30. crazyTsu
    I like my curries with at least 3 green chillies..
    1. Selvia
      Can you give me your curry recipes cos I dont use green chilies in my curry. Want to try out your curry recipe
    2. crazyTsu
      You can cut them up and add as seasoning to cauliflower, cabbage, and some other curries. Surprised you are asking!
  31. osmkt
    I love chicken curry! Makes me want to eat right now.
  32. Selvia
