Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,363 Posted April 9 Subscriber Share Posted April 9 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.

Subscriber nudge+ 15,329 Posted April 9 Subscriber Share Posted April 9 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably because curry is not really a thing in Chinese cuisine outside of British takeaways 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,616 Posted April 9 Subscriber Share Posted April 9 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't like this spaghetti for some reason... I think it goes back to when we I first married and we went around to the wife's cousins for a meal and she made spaghetti bolognaise but all she gave me was a plate full of COLD spaghetti with a tiny blob of mince and cheese in the middle, hated that stuff ever since.

Love Thai curry with beef and rice. i sometimes might as well just chuck it straight in the toilet and save some time sitting on the pot and getting the ring of fire but it's still one of my favourite 4 sure 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUFC 1,504 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeKhrush 298 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 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.

Subscriber nudge+ 15,329 Posted April 10 Subscriber Share Posted April 10 I can see korma qualifying as a curry, but Pad Thai definitely doesn't. Stir-fries also aren't curries, imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ 2,558 Posted April 10 Subscriber Share Posted April 10 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
