Curry

[bags]

Indian food rules. Discuss!

[Cheryl K]

Yes, and Thai curries are awesome too. Red curry: :drool:

[i]

i lurve thai curries almost more than indian curries, cos they're not as heavy. red, green and the various yellow curries. jungle curry (gang pa) is my fave thai curry, perhaps.

[bags]

oh yes thai curries, gang mussaman!

Butter chicken <3

[wasp in a jar]

mmm. curry. i love love love curry lots and lots. though i don't think it loves me much as it occasionally makes me into a fatty when i go overboard with the curry love.

why is coconut milk so fattening? WHYYYYYY?

i could really do with a thai green curry right now actually....

[Daysleeper]

FUCK...I love curry...I love Indian food off all variety. Luckily, I live about 30 seconds from an ace Indian take away and have a couple of GOOD restaurants near by and in the city centre, so I am never short if I fancy something.

The last curry I had was on bank holiday monday, and I had a lamb jalfrezi.

My favourite indian restaurant at the moment is this: http://www.kayalrestaurant.com/. If any Blamo's happen to be in the hood, I will take you there :(

[Robert]

Curry?

More like asshole fury. Uhg. Never again!

[Daysleeper]

Not all curries are spicy.

[6thandpowell]

I love indian food.

I have a recipe for a great Goa Shrimp Curry.

It's gggggggggggreat.

Well one I had scarred me for life dude. :(

[Dovecoat]

Both Indian and Thai curries are great. I think overall I prefer Indian, but the great Thai curries blow away the Indian ones.

Also, not mentioned, Ethiopian curries are delicious.

[Static Split Screen]

I love curries so, so much.

I'm intrigued. I've never even heard of an Ethiopian curry. There's an Ethiopian restaurant 3 blocks from where I live but I've never been there. What are the curries like?

Ethiopian food is great in general. Eating with your hands is great in general.

:yes:

It's pretty much all curries of various sorts (though they aren't called "curry", but it's the same thing). Basically akin to Indian and Thai... stewed vegetables (and meat if you choose) with in a stew-esque mixture with tons of different spices. Very delicious. And yes, you eat with your hands and scoop up the curry with this amazing flatbread called injera (sp?)... or some people just wrap the curry in the injera like a burrito. And no utensils. It's delicious, and your inner 4 year old will luuuv it!!!

Also honey wine! :yes:

Oh, yeah, almost forgot. It's usually pretty cheap, too! :yes::yes::yes:

DC is supposed to be great for Ethiopian cuisine but I've never been to any.

oh yes thai curries, gang mussaman!

my second fave thai curry!

Yeah, the place here (Dukem) is an offshoot of one in Georgetown.

Their online menu is confusing and scary because I don't know what tibs, wot, fitfit, kitfo, and gored gored are but I'll take your word for it. And they have something called foul on the breakfast menu.

[rogaine]

the ethiopian place by my house is SO INCREDIBLY SPICY i cannot eat there. no matter what i get, it is always like eating fire.

[Static Split Screen]

I loooove Ethiopian food, and none of it has been terribly spicy. The best Ethopian food I had was in Amsterdam.

Tibs = sautee
Wat = curry
Fitfit = curry with butter
Kitfo and gored gored = Not sure... some meat dish. Never tried them.

[Kinbote]

Atkelt wett, man.

[Henriette]

I thought fitfit was salad, and gored gored is some sort of concoction involving raw meat. Anyway, the curries are quite good, but I'm certain that injera (sp?) is not meant for consumption. My friend said that she had to close her eyes to eat it, as it was like eating folds of skin D: - now I can't eat it either.

South Indian is my favorite, as far as scoop breads and curries go.

[Henriette]

Ted and I just had this really great Thai food. I ordered a vegetable mussaman ("on the spicy side"), and it was amazing. I also liked this appetizer we ordered... puff pastry filled with curried vegetables alongside a cucumber-scallion dipping sauce. Also, Thai iced teas... :drool:

[Henriette]

Oh, Ted ordered chicken in a yellow curry sauce. He also had some plum sake and I tried to eat one of the plums, but the sake in it was too overwhelming, so I had to spit it out into my napkin (can't stand sake).

[Henriette]

sake to me time

Fit-fit is basically a mesh of wat with little pieces of injera mixed in... and butter!

I think tibs sometimes is salad-esque, though. ???

My descriptions are probably awful though, coz, well, I don't really know much about it. Likewise, never had gored gored (though I think you're right about it).

The injera/skin connection never struck me. Though I think now that might make me like it more.

[Divine]

don't spill the cookie crumbs..

[Depechekin]

I haven't had enough Indian food to judge, but what I had once or twice was "OK", however i'm ignorant to the cuisine and was told I need to try it at a good restaraunt.

[Amanda]

I could live on Nan :)

I love Indian food Mostly because they make kick ass Chicken and Lamb :)
