I think you are just a pleb

Deffo a pleb
Imagine not even being able to tell the difference between japanese and thai curry

Yes because you are eating white people curry.
Pls have a curry made by poo hands

>>14381703
Can you post two fundamentally different chicken curries for example. It all seems to be "just put every Indian spice in it, oh wait Mr Patek Philiputra didn't have X spice at home when he made this one so he called it Bhagavad Gita curry as opposed to the Brahmalama Swami curry even though they're 97% the same"
>>14381707
I meant real curries obviously.

>>14381701
'curry' just refers to a thick spiced sauce, there's all kinds.

>>14381725
How about a more controversial opinion, I also think every chili is fundamentally the same, and every European stew is fundamentally the same.

>>14381717
That is borderline racist have a sensitivity crash course

>>14381717
>I meant real curries obviously.
soo you're retarded? great thread.

>>14381733
Japanese curries are just beef stew with a curry bouillon cube thrown in. It's the American cheese product of curry.

>>14381744
retarded AND a pleb. sad!

I think you're observing that many curries use a similar foundation of onion, garlic, ginger, chilis, and spices such as turmeric, cumin, coriander and cardamom. Yeah ok fine.

A lot of soups use a foundation of onion, celery, carrots, stock, and bay leaves. Doesn't mean every soup is the same.

>>14381746
You know it's true, dude.

>>14381746

Stop being a weeb it's basically what he said

>>14381744

I often make and enjoy japanese curry and this is accurate. It's no fancy food just a meat and potatoes stew. I make my own roux though but this is pretty spot on

>>14381757
Yeah I wasn't implying that it is bad. It's just not anywhere near something that would resemble an Indian or Thai curry. I enjoy plastic cheese product in limited applications, too. But I don't pretend that it's the real thing.

>>14381717
Coronation chicken and saag chicken.

>>14381748
>I think you're observing that many curries use a similar foundation of onion, garlic, ginger, chilis, and spices such as turmeric, cumin, coriander and cardamom. Yeah ok fine.
So we can probably conclude that there is a "curry with everything" that uses every Indian spice possible, right? So in comparison with that curry, every other curry is an inferior "ran out of spice X" version, so why not just make the Ultimate Curry every single time?

I would also like for someone to explain to me the fundamental difference between pörkölt, goulash and paprikash.

>>14381764
Are you really saying that a cold dish with a mayonnaise dressing counts as curry?

>>14381772
Yeah more foods and stuff = more gooder recipe, you solved cooking.

>>14381779
One of the ingredients is literally curry powder.

>>14381764
>Coronation chicken
>Constance Spry, an English food writer and flower arranger, and Rosemary Hume, a chef, both principals of the Cordon Bleu Cookery School in London, are credited with the invention of coronation chicken.
It's a British chicken mayo salad lmfao you're really grasping here.

>>14381785
So if I use curry powder in some deviled eggs that makes those eggs curry? I'm not on board with this classification system.

>>14381784
Let's analyze Saag Chicken btw:
>ghee
>onion
>garlic
>ginger
>cumin
>garam masala
>turmeric
>cayenne pepper
>dried fenugreek
>cream
So it's the exact same shit that goes into literally every other curry, and you just put chicken and a random vegetable in it, in this case spinach.

>>14381789
Curry is an English word, you twat.

>>14381795
Not him but if people consider Japanese curry authentic you might as well consider his curry flavored mayo chicken curry, too.

>>14381795
It makes them curried. If it's in a sauce the sauce is curry.

>>14381805

Then currywurst is a curry

>>14381805
So if I curried your mom with my curry sauce then you're a curry.

>>14381813
Well it is already in the fucking name so it's weird that you even imagined you had a point.

>>14381801
Japanese curry is hardly anything like Indian curry, i think that's fair to say. However, it's at least warm and saucy and served with rice.

Op I make and like curries and they usually taste quite similar, yes. People are only get upset because curry isn’t a wyteppl food. Y’all know it’s true

>>14381813
Curry outside of India basically means X thing with an Indianesque sauce. I saw a few Indians sperging a few years ago about this because apparently in their country "curry" simply means "spice" and not representative of any actual dish.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G887PHRqnLM

Let's see, authentic Indian street curry. Chillies, onion, garlic ginger paste, oil, salt, pepper, tomato sauce, cilantro, chicken, some kind of curry paste to thicken it, a bit of ghee at the end, did I miss anything?

>>14381796
Yeah those are common curry seasonings, sure. Something similar to that flavor base is used in lots of different curries, I'm agreeing with you. But you can create a lot of variety with different types of meat, vegetables, and legumes, different spice combinations and ratios, additions of cream or yogurt, variations in spice (i.e. heat) level, thickness and brothiness, etc.

>>14381837
>did I miss anything?
The magic ingredient.

>>14381844
E. coli?

>>14381828
Masala means spice mix, yeah. Curry isn't a Hindi word, nor a word from any Indian dialect.

>>14381851
I guess those Indians were trolling then. They were pretty good at it since the thread hit the bump limit quickly.

>apply heat to a certain combination of ingredients
Guess all food is essentially the same huh? Just different ingredients.

>>14381861
In old English curry meant cook, so if I were Indian I'd be kind of proud about the route that word took.

>>14381866
>In old English curry meant cook
That's pretty interesting stuff, Anon. I had no idea that was a thing. The thread that I'm referring to happened on /int/ so it could have just been a bunch of shitposting Brits with a proxy.

>>14381863
Well, all fried food tends to be similar, all cooked food tends to be similar, and so on, but when you throw both the same method of preparation and the same spices into the mix...

Here's another that's actually true - all steak is pretty much the same.

OP you are a retard.

Yes a lot of the same spices are used in curries. The variation comes from what combo of spices (and no it's not "oh shit I ran out of x so I'll invent a new curry, not all spices go in everything), and from what else you add to it. For example a saag aloo is spinach and potatoes, and tastes completely different to a kadhi, which is yoghurt and potatoes. Actually a kadhi also uses mustard seeds which aren't common in other curries.

The reason all your curries taste the same is because you're adding the same shit to then. Try making a curry with a cashew paste, try making a curry with just a very small amount of tomato paste so it's mostly dry, try making a curry with coconut milk. Add some variation to get some variation.

t. Pajeet

>>14381900
>try making a curry with coconut milk
I've been using coconut milk instead of cream for years and it's literally the same shit, it's like a vegan substitute.

>>14381828
Yea same with "chai tea"

Isn't 'curry' the name whites gave to all foods made with a sauce?

>>14383058

>>14383161

>>14381701
You're not wrong they're just basic stews with slightly different spice ratios. Indian food is probably the least technical and easiest to make cuisine on the planet

Hello, I'm one of those men.

See, unlike the skinhead untouchables who inhabit this site, I grew up and became a normal human being with healthy relationships and a good career.

I don't have a problem with gay people.
I don't have a problem with brown people.
I don't have a problem with Muslims.
I don't have a problem with Jews.
I kinda sorta respect the holyfuckinghell out of modern women.

In other words, I'm not a pea brained toddler repeating history as farce with an orange fucktard who puts children into LITERAL concentration camps.

I'm not pissing my pants scared at the idea of women having more voices, more votes, and - GASP - more control over worldly affairs.

I'm not cucked to the cruel, nonsensical, evil ideas cooked up by shitty white men a hundred fucking years ago, or the shitty sexist morals all but beaten into us by our shitty fucking forefathers.

I'm free of toxic masculinity. Fuck yes, you will be hearing that phrase a whole fucking lot over the next ten years, and it will become law.

So suck my asshole, you fucking cowards. Go real deep and suck like I know you secretly want to.

Fascism is so fucking dead after 2020 you won't even be able to smell its oozing corpse.

Your world is thrashing around on its deathbed as we speak.

It's gone for fucking forever as soon as the rotten Cheetoh is gone.

Here, have a look inside my crystal ball.

I see a whole fucking lot of bold, pissed off, beautiful women tap dancing on your skull for the HELL you inflicted on them the past four years.

And men like me will be right there at their sides just laughing. Mocking. Drowning you in heaps upon heaps of your own shitty shit.

>brown sugar?
Really?

>>14383724
Not reading that cos of the rebbit spacing.

>>14382840
Well just think of any ingredient you would add to a curry and the way you might cook it.
For example using whole chillies vs fine slicing.
Grating an onion vs cutting into chunks.
Cooking for 20 mins vs cooking for 3 hours.
Grilling chicken vs boiling.

>>14383806
>add to a curry
There is no such thing as "a curry". All curries have individual names. If you're eating something named as a "curry", you're just eating a curry powder flavoured sauce. I put curry powder in my baked beans. It's not a curry.

>>14381701
Almost the same but vastly different flavors. It's like comparing different cereals. Almost the same thing, pour milk on, but different flavors. Malaysia Kari Ikan is very different from a butter chicken. But I'm sure the other posts in this thread already explained all this inane shit.

>>14381730
man take that back we cant just stand this here without being more discussed...

So there are myriad of curries from India to the Orient to Britain. If I have a bunch of dark meat chicken, where do I start?

>>14381701
it has nuances but white people can't comprehend them.

>>14381866
>>14381877
Curry appears to have french-anglo origins meaning to prepare or arrange. While kari is a Tamil word from Davidians meaning sauce. Perhaps the similarity in the two words was what solidified curry as the word for Indian prepared foods in sauces.

>>14384495

>>14381701
>Am I just a pleb or is every curry essentially the same exact thing, /ck/?
If you buy premade simmer sauces or eat in low cost restaurants or buffets I think they do tend to focus on the same flavors, without balance. It is not just that the more expensive things like saffron will be used minimally, but other reasons too.
There was a study that found that most cooks weren't cooks in England additionally, but actually more monied and more educated types. The food is a ruse to serve alcohol at odd hours which makes them profitable and relevant. Your cook never wanted to be in food service nor grew up learning from their family. The people who could emigrate had $$$ and education, not apprentice time at the hands of a chef.
On top of this novice running a business and making the same recipe only, the origins of the recipe can be solely from say pakistan, not from any of the hundreds of other regional cuisines.

>>14384566
Well, what American know about curries is pathetic. Yet they will try and tell you how to make a curry.

>>14384579
He doesn't know how to use the samefag links.

And indian/thai curry is just runny meat (and sometimes vegetables) stew.

But if you're Indian, the women to the cooking.

>runny meat
What is that?

>>14381701
There are all types of curries around the world with different spice combinations. Thai, Japanese, Indian, and Ethiopian curries taste completely different from each other. Even if you were talking about only Indian style curry, some differences in curry dishes aside from the spice mix could include usage/no usage of tomatoes, yogurt, butter, lemon, vinegar, cashews, fenugreek, or mace. Cooking methods can also be completely different, too.

>>14383745
I don't know why people seem to have this idea that non-Americans are not taking shortcuts for cooking. One of my best friends growing up was 1st generation Indian (His parents came from India, maybe it's 2nd gen?) They cooked with curry mixes, or the jarred mixes all the time. They weren't around back then like now, so they had to stock up from the world market 30 miles away.

>>14384795
Curry powder is an English invention.

>>14384825
I don't know any Rabbis.

>>14384830
Jarred spices? And knew what they were doing? Why are you are on a cooking board?

>>14384826
Newsflash. Most people who live in comfort can't/won't/don't cook. The majority of people just buy "add jar/box/packet of shit to meat and a carb"

>>14384849
True, good point

>>14384849
But Indians in India, use whole spices. No pre-ground stuff in jars.

>>14381701
You are definitely a pleb, but no shit you will see the same basic structure for any dish that shares the same name.
Every stew is basically the same thing, every hamburger is at it's core the same thing, just variations.

It's almost like curry describes dish made by certain cooking methods and usually containing some set of common ingredients.

The British introduced tea to India you retard, they got it from China.

I think you just haven’t had enough curries. There’s a fuck ton of spice combinations and varieties from a variety of cultures. Definitely give a few more a go, anon, I’m sure you’ll find some that you like.

>>14384054
curry is the umbrella term, man. it's a sauce made of herbs, spices, chilis, etc.

you can add 'pumpkin spice' to your beans too and it's somehow not a pumpkin.

>>14381701
A pleb, try making your own curry mix with various spices, it's easy if you just get the base ingredients.

>>14381730
yes. fundamentals are the basis of all those dishes.
to make anything unique it comes down to specific technique and ingredients while existing within the basic framework of what makes a dish a "chili" "stew" or "curry"

>>14385900
Read the thread and learn. Every curry dish has its own name. There is no such thing as a dish called just curry outside of India.

>>14385900
Chilli is a stew? Along with baked beans?

>>14385914
Trying so hard to sound educated.

>>14381701
You are tastelet. Sorry to be the one to inform you

Indian curries more or less taste the same because there are too many 'essential' spices for any additives to have a radical change in flavour. They can add stuff where you can say "ah this is X curry not Y curry and this one is Z curry", but it's about on the level of telling KFC from popeyes; yeah they're different but they're both fried fucking chicken, they're interchangeable.

This differences from dishes in most other countries, including their curries, because the essential flavours and spices are smaller. A beef stew at its core is just meat and veges in stock, chili is meat and chilis in water. There are ingredients commonly added to those dishes to the point you might not imagine them without it, but they aren't core ingredients, and you can get a massively different stew or chili with a slight ingredient change that maintains the core spirit of the dish.

Also indians eat more than just fucking curry, your response to people saying "all curries are the same" should be "who fucking cares?"

>You can't taste the coconut when using coconut milk? Fucking tastelet
You can but it's functionally the same, you can taste the soy in soy milk too.

I've been eating curry for like 40 years and I can confirm it's the same shit. It seems like /ck/ is just kids who have only recently moved out for college and discovered the spice shelf in Walmart or wherever poor people buy food in America nowadays.

>>Also indians eat more than just fucking curry
Like what?

>>14381701
it's all been said, but yeah, you're kind of a pleb, but yeah curries from the same region are going to be fairly similar, mostly due to certain ingredients being favoured or endemic in/to whatever area of Asia.

That said, a heavily tomato, onion, garlic and chili based curry, started with a burned caramel, and leveled out with a bit of yogurt or cream, with a pinch of garam masala and a hint of nigella or mustard is going to be much heavier and less subtle (not to mention darker) than a coconut or cream based curry with onion, garlic, chili and ginger being used more as spices than vegetables. Garam masala might make an appearance in a similar amount, but it might be pushed in a lighter direction with the addition of sweeter spices like (more) coriander, cinnamon, clove, allspice - maybe given a little fenugreek (which is that maple smell/taste you might catch at Indian/Caribbean joints).

Even similar curries from different regions will be different. They might be thicker, or have raisins or nuts in them, maybe using coconut and lime vs. yogurt. Chances are that if the rice is different in that country/region, so too shall be the general direction of the curries. You'll also see a lot more biryani and pulao in some areas, and a lot more separation of rice and sauce in others.

>t. Happa with Indo-English cousins

>>14381701
You must be english

>>14386562
Lol.
No, s*yboy

>>14381717
Saag and Madrasi, for example. Madrasi curry isn't made with any type of cream and saag sauce is all about that. Saag also is green from use of spinach in the sauce. Madrasi is more a dark red color.
The real answer you're looking for is that Americanized indian places all taste the same. If I was blindfolded, I couldnt distinguish maybe 2/3 of most dishes. I used to date this indian girl though and went to india. It's a lot more varied there.

>>14381701
>Am I just a pleb or is every curry essentially the same exact thing, /ck/?
Yeah, a big sloppa shit.

>>14385965
you just are completely ignorant of history lol

>>14388699
>>The real answer you're looking for is that Americanized indian places all taste the same.
I'm not American and I'm talking about actual Indian recipes.

I have a packet of Golden Curry sauce mix. What are your opinions on it?

>>14386588
Curry is some sort of a vegetable and/or meat in a a hot sauce called chutney. In a main meal like rice and curry, there are other components like cooked/raw veggies with simple spices, veggie sambol, etc.

>>14381730
That's not controversial, it's how culture works.

Grow up and study food history.

>>14389445
p okay, goes well with beef potatoes and carrots. Found it kinda lacking in depth of flavor desu

>>14389445
It's good. I add ketchup and some soy sauce for color to it. Hard to fuck up. Chicken thighs, potatoes carrots and onions are good ingredients

>>14389445
It is what it is. It's basic Chinese curry sauce, goes nice with half chips half rice. Nothing like Indian curry.

>>14381732
Neck yourself

>>14381701

Looks like a sloppa shit

>>14383724
tl;dr

>>14383682
... and it still tastes so satisfying because of mounds upon mounds of ghee and spice.

>>14392137
Is it really possible to make homemade ghee?

>>14392653
Yes.
You melt the butter, then you strain out the solids.

>>14392683
If it's that simple, why not just use butter though, what exactly does butter have that it's bad to have it in your curry?

>>14392688
Different flavor Different properties for cooking esp frying

>>14392688
Milk solids in butter will burn at high temps while clarified doesnt have those solids. It also takes longer to spoil. Most Indian cuisine needs high temps or frying

>>14381717

They’re all the same in the sense that they’re all chicken suspended in radioactive goop, yes. They taste different and have different textures.

You’re essentially asking how can two sandwiches possibly taste differently? Aren’t all sandwiches that include tomato basically a BLT?

>>14393489
That's why you use butter+olive oil.

>>14393783
That's a myth the smoke point stays the same. The olive oil will however dilute the burned milk flavor. I still use an olive oil/butter mix when I make Indian food at home because I cant be bothered to make or buy clarified butter.

I've never had curry. Red pill me on curry please.

>>14394013

Fuck off with this "red pill me on..." shit

le epig meme snarf snarf

Fucking no you silly cunt.
Now ok, some takeaways might be lazy fuckers and all their curries are basically the same with maybe 3 different spice levels. But an actual respectable place, they'll be very different with different flavours, different contents, ect.

>>14393813
>clarified butter.
Not using ghee.

>>14381732
fuck you faggot
