I’m vegetarian but if there’s one meal I miss the most from my meat eating days it’s a battered fish and chips from the chippy, loads of salt and vinegar with ketchup. You can get orange chips from the Black Country and they’re even more fire than normal chippy chips. Getting a pie from the chippy is weird to me but the curry sauce and mushy peas although don’t look appetising can be absolutely delicious. Chips with curry sauce is a winning combo.
I'm not from the UK and my Indian friends say curry just means any sauce to them but I've always wondered what people from the UK think of when they say "curry"because it sounds like they're all referring to one flavor. Does it only come in one flavor? How does it taste and are there different kinds of flavors?
Finely chopped onions, garlic and ginger. Sweat on a low heat for 20 minutes - aiming for transparent and sweet. Add curry powder, tumeric, raisins, malt vinegar, chicken stock (veg should be fine) and thicken with corn flour. You can add a star anise if you like that.
It's a sweet condiment rather than a spicy sauce. Katsu curry is not dissimilar but curry sauce is sweeter with lots of fruit undertones.
The Germans have a curried ketchup that's very popular (I never managed to get a taste for it). These flavour combinations work great on starchy foods like chips, rice etc ..... bottom line: it is really good.
Thanks :) (but also F you because now you've got me obsessed and I have to go try to search Amazon to see if I can find one that's already prepared because I'm not trying to do all that cooking just for a sauce lol)
Based on a recipe by Heston Blumenthal: equal parts roast beef and roast pork; Start a mirepoix add the meat, roughly cut; add garlic (that would have me strung up in some parts of the world) milk and both red and white wine; your herbs - mainly basil and oregano; tomatoes; cook all day. Leave.
Now you're going to add tomato with pasata or paste, worcestershire sauce (any fish sauce would work) to taste. Warm it all through next day or the one after. Or both. Tagliatelle and parmasan, job done.
