Curry 2

[tp4tissue]

Didn't have ne potato for thickener.


Something else that worked great,  OATMEAL.
 
It's mostly earthy and mild in flavor, fits in perfectly, and it thickens great without burning very easily like potato because it doesn't sink to the bottom so quickly.

Fantastic.


Tp4's going to use oatmeal from now on.

Now just waiting for coriander powder, some cardamom, and mace.


Kinda expensive assembling all this stuff..

But you'll have so much more curry powder making it yourself, and you can adjust it to your liking. Don't forget to lightly toast some of the whole ingredients before grinding, it adds a lot more depth.

Another great thickener discovered 2day by the P4.

Just add top-ramen to it.  Budget + Dilcious.

That is an actual true thing, especially if you add a bit of lemongrass. It's the natural oils from the plants used to make curry that mozzys hate.
Indian people have been scientifically shown to attract less mozzys.

After several tests,  it really seems like oatmeal is the best thickener.

Because if you use any other starch,  corn/potato/yam,  after 1 or 2 days in the fridge, the starch bonds are quite loose, and the curry becomes watery, even if you added lots of starch to it initially.

WHEREAS,  with the oatmeal, it seems after a whole week,  the bottom of the bowl is still gooey and very cling-on for the rice.  And it retains that mrrrphhrrhrhrr feel in the mouth.
