I thought you were making a curry? Opening a sauce packet is like opening a jar of Prego for Italian cooking

Indeed.

Not sure about that Willie. Most of the Thais that I know buy their curry paste from the market. A friend of mines wife who lives in Chiang Mai, actually buys her Massaman pastes from down south...A couple of kilos at a time!

Curry paste, I agree.

Post up your curry and let the members poll decide

The finished deal..

My only mistake was using Thai Jasmine rice instead of Basmati..

Very nice

[Loy Toy]

What part of the chicken do you use Chitty?

My wife used to use breast but now uses thigh and legs mainly because the meat is a lot more tender.

^yup, I agree. It's like using microwavable or boil-in-bag rice.

The last few months of covid, I've cooked several curries. Got the recipes from YT channel "Spice Eats" - run by an Indian couple (wife cooks, husband films & edits). Made the dishes from scratch. Had to order online some stuff like garam masala, coriander, etc since those are not readily available in supermarkets here. Fortunately, there's Lazada.

I got lucky and bought Garam Masala at Aldi, quite good spices, not their standard range of inferior products.

Cooking rice in the microwave is not a bad thing, as long as it is a good rice, we usually have Thai jasmine rice.

Maybe I look up that channel, thanks. If I want asian food and a little spicy, I have to cook it. My Filipina wife does not do spicy at all. She does a lot of german dishes much better than me. She learned it from family.

That's a lot more interesting than sabs old bachelor curry, Katie.

Just fry some onions, add a tin of baked beans, then shake in a generous dose of curry powder- and presto! Goes fine with toast. Points for style if you fry up some sliced sausage with the onion, &/or some chopped tomato.

It's just embarrassing all round, really.

[bsnub]

Are you surprised at all? He did show a pic of tinned "peeled potatoes" at one point that he was using.

[misskit]

Using a packet of spices isn’t too big of a cheat. I do it, too. It’s pretty hard to make a spice mixture for Indian food. There are so many ingredients!

I do draw a line at a can of boiled potatoes, Joe. The shame.

Not really.

Standards are Cumin, Coriander, Chilli and Turmeric. Then Garam Masala before serving. That dish would be piss easy to cook from scratch.

And he hasn’t just used a packet of spices, has he. His entire sauce is from a jar.

Everything except the chicken and rice is pre-prepared.

And as for a second veggie dish...well, there’s no chance, is there.

Like I said...embarrassing.

Is there anything you're not brilliant at Cy? Apart from posting pictures to prove it obviously...

^ Let’s see your chicken tikka masala from scratch, smarmy pants.

Chicken Tikka Masala is an English, fake ‘Indian’ dish for Brit plebs.

I’d never eat it, let alone make it.

[taxexile]

snivel

watch out, the gastro police are on patrol.

nothing wrong with a ctk if it tastes good, as ctk certainly does.

all this striving for "authenticity" is tiresome. if it tastes good then there is nothing wrong with it.

do you think that you as a farang ever get an authentic thai dish served up when you order in a restaurant in thailand, of course you dont. you get the neutered falang equivalent.

stupid boy.

You really are a sad sack.

That post isn't anywhere near boasting that I'm brilliant at anything, let alone everything.

I must be one of the least boastful posters on this entire forum.

You're getting pretty pious these days. Seems just about nobody is posting quite as you'd like them to.

We'll just have to try and not let it keep us awake at night, I guess.

The comment says nothing about Thai food in Thailand, but quite a lot about you in Thailand. I've eaten authentic Thai food in Thai restaurants countless times, as I'm sure many posters have.

Anyway, I was going to upload some pics of a Chicken Masala and Aloo Gobi I made, mk, to show you it's not difficult...but the first picture came out sideways and I just can't be arsed.

If anyone on TD cared about this place they'd have sorted that shit out by now, so why should posters care any more?

Speak for yourself. Myself, and I know TC enjoy authentic Thai and Chinese/Thai meals both home cooked and out at restaurants all over Thailand damn near everyday. Your stereotype is much too broad. Its who you associate with in the case of sourcing out delicious Thai food.

Many other posters are also well aware of what is real and what is not.
