Moderator CaaC (John) Posted April 9, 2024 Moderator Posted April 9, 2024 I don't think I have ever tried a Thai curry but I know we always get our curry from a Chinese take-away and on occasions from an Indian take-away, so, seeing you did not have Chinese on the poll then I would have to go for an Indian but I will only eat any of them with EGG FRIED rice.

nudge Posted April 9, 2024 Posted April 9, 2024 Thai curries for me, as Indian curries, while good, are usually too rich/heavy for me, and I prefer the lightness and spice profile of Thai curries. Quote

Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted April 9, 2024 Subscriber Posted April 9, 2024 I like them both but overall, I'd lean more on the side of a good Indian curry with coconut and a lot of low-end spice vs what we get outside of India which is just cream and hey have we added enough cream yet? It's slowly changing in places but it's nowhere close to what we get at home. Something like this Thai curry is actually really good too, but I err on the side of eating it mostly with seafood as I find chicken to be a bit on the meh side. 2 Quote

Expand We do a curry with peas but its all vegetarian. It's very very rare you'll see meat with peas in a dish here and when you do you generally ask for water and politely eat a bit and run away. 2 Quote

MUFC Posted April 10, 2024 Posted April 10, 2024 Which apna curry? The ones with a higher ratio of salon in or the karahi dishes which have less salon and more herbs and masala. Quote

OrangeKhrush Posted April 10, 2024 Posted April 10, 2024 This is a tough choice as I love both. When we talk curry are we exclusively looking at curry or does a korma fit the definition of a curry, similarly would cashew nut chicken stir fried rice or pad thai count? In South Africa we have a bunny chow, it is a mutton masala curry with potatos and all the bells and whistles stuffed into a hollowed out half loaf of bread with the hollowed out bread then acting as a plug. trust me its amazing. I had also dated and indian girl for around a year and her mother could cook like nothing I have experienced. That is one thing I will miss when I leave, South African food is incredible. Quote
nudge Posted April 10, 2024 Posted April 10, 2024 I can see korma qualifying as a curry, but Pad Thai definitely doesn't. Stir-fries also aren't curries, imo 1 Quote

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted April 10, 2024 Subscriber Posted April 10, 2024 Thats a toughie. If I had to choose my favourite is probably korma. My fiancee is lactose though so we make more Thai curries and use coconut milk as a base for most at home. Quote
