Indian Sauces - Chef Question

Curry is actually a mixture of different spices. A couple things that might be added though is cumin, and my favorite, cardamon (or cardamom). Both fit the description of mildly spicy but not hot. I can see cumin with spinach, but not cardamon. Cardamon is great with sweet things, like pancakes, french toast, and those sweet pastry things. Marc Latest AAL Article My blog Join my forum!

Cumin is part of almost every Kerala dish [Kerala is the state where I live and is the southern most in India, FYI]. But its mostly an ingredient of vegetable dishes and fish preparations. Meat preparations seldom use Cumin. Elaichi is mostly used in sweet dishes, yes. But they are also used in heavily spiced non-veg dishes and also rice preparations.

That could be used to describe many dishes, as you can see from the suggestions offered so far. I'll offer mine too. :-D It's a um, it's a <> Paalak Curry!

I love cooking Thai food and my wife and I recently went out to an Indian restaurant in NYC that we both loved. So is this bawarchi.com a source of pretty authentic indian cooking? Is this indeed, the Real Deal? Looking forard to trying this ! PS How would you compare the curries used in Thai cooking vs Indian curries? Are they pretty much the same? ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire! Real Mentats use only 100% pure, unfooled around with Sapho Juice(tm)! SELECT * FROM User WHERE Clue > 0 0 rows returned

The similarity is more with Chinese. Thai foods use chili like most Indian dishes. But they also use Soya sause and other chemical flavours like Chinese dishes do. Indian dishes rarely use chemical ingredients like Agino motto etc. Smitha Every person, all the events of your life, are there because you have drawn them there.

Sounds like sambar. :~ AFAIK, it's not served with lamb, but then I'm a vegetarian. No offense meant, but your description is really vague. Why don't you ask the waiter what it is? Enjoy the food. :-D Cheers, Vikram.

I'm not sure about the night, since I didn't look outside, but it's raining heavily now alright. Damn, this looks like it might spoil all the Diwali fun.

The only problem in trying out from recipes is we aremore or less on the dark as far as parameters like consistency, cooking time etc is concerned. Good luck on your endeavour!
