Why do I have the temptation to call the blender Sir Mix-a-Lot?
I second this! 😂
Chef John calls his mixer that too
I was gonna say Vinny Vitamix but I feel you got me beat
That’s fantastic 😂
I had the same thought so support this suggestion!
We need a tea towel or oven mit that says "Give me the extra bay leaf. I'm not driving."
I would buy this in a HEARTBEAT
That’s a lot of words for a design. Probably it could get away with having an illustration of two(even three!) bay leaves, and underneath that it could say “I’m not driving.”
I was thinking a tshirt…
Some people throw in extra garlic, Jamie throws in extra bay leaves
Or like a bay leaf design with "I'm not driving"
Her curry just went international really with all the condiments she added. It was not just an indian curry, but also combined flavours from south east asia, east asia, middle eastern, etc. The french twist was the addition of wine into it.
She was probably trying to fuse every cuisine that exist in the world... ;)
I have no clue what here was south east Asian or east asian or middle eastern. This just looks like Indian curry with wine, lol. And I am mad that he used powder and not full spices
@wrongturnVfor the method of cooking the curry is much closer to the Japanese method than the Indian method. The use of green onions is also more common in East and South East Asian cuisine as is the use of chopped boiled eggs and peanuts. And using toasted pine nuts is common in Middle Eastern cuisine and arguably even the saffron rice
@shnad9880 picky picky picky ! Did it taste good is the question ?
@@shnad9880 Buddy, please get an education. Just because some other cuisine uses it, doesn't mean that they get monopoly on that method. India uses all those methods too and has done so forever. I have had 3 authentic curries from there - The regular lamb curry (from the south), Apple curry (from the north) and Apple curry. Julia literally combined the lamb curry and egg curry and added the egg topping from the egg curry. The only addition to this was the french wine. You would know that if your experience went beyond butter chicken and chicken tikka masala. I don't understand what the fixation of people is with trying to take away cultural history and cuisine from other countries. Please spend your time doing better things.
OMG this is my Mum's dinner party beef curry from the sixties! Complete with the side bowls of roasted peanuts, sliced banana and grated coconut! It was a great hit. :D
I desperately need to make this dish!
Yup Julia brought India as well as France to America
Your mom must have been a grand hostess and a lot of fun.
My mom made curry for my baby brother's christening party! A great hit with everyone.
Someone in the comments below suggests you name your blender...Sir Mix-alot ....I second this.
Yup.. best idea yet…
I watch this channel religiously and it brings so much joy to me ❤
It’s a highlight of my week
Me, too
Jamie has the magic formula that every other CZcams cook does not: being relatable to novice cooks because he himself in a novice cook.
Or even now not so novice but the hitches when making a new recipe are so relatable for a home cook and also has enjoyable non spiteful schadenfreude. Also the messiness is rewarding to anyone who's a bit messy...
Julia Child actually did live in Sri Lanka and Mumbai for a couple years and ate authentic South Asian cuisine.
and still put bananas on top?
And safe to say it does NOT show in this recipe 😂
@@Phily1494thai people sometimes use bananas in curry, and sri lankans do like bananas as well. i dont find it far fetched she took inspiration and chose to do that to her recipe if she intended to make a curry, esp cuz fruits are sometimes used in curry anyway to make tastes milder or add a pickled aspect
@@tabsg0015
we do sometimes use plantains or green bananas in some curries or stir frys. Almost works like potatoes or yams. But I hadn't seen ripe bananas in a savoury dish so far.
Could you tell me a Thai or Indian/Sri lankan dish that uses bananas? I would like to try it. For science.
And Kunming, China.
Adding the apple to curry is a Japanese inspiration. They like their curries milder and sweeter.
Which itself is British inspiration. Japanese curry comes from the British Navy combining the ingredients they had into a big pot.
Adding fruit to curry is more of an English thing, dried apple raisens and almonds used to be a very popular ingredient for our curries. Slightly fruity with less chilli spice feel, something my grand uncle would make us and it was very tasty.
Actually, there is an actual south asian dish called Royal apple curry. I think she just combined good old lamb curry with apple curry. Because they really do go well together. But nothing beats the 72 hour goat curry. They really do simmer it for 72 hours and it is the most delish thing ever
@@binarymalehim Yeah - not British curry in the sense of modern British Indian Restaurant cuisine, but British curry in the Imperial tradition, dating back to Victorian times or even earlier. Coronation Chicken is the only widespread present-day survivor of this style that I know of, but my mum used to make a dish called Honey Curry Chicken when we were kids which certainly came from a similar place (with chopped bananas in natural yoghurt as a side).
@tomrichards9843 Yes, that's it in a nutshell 👍. You forgot about kedgeree, still made and eaten, not so much as coronation chicken though.
Jamie,
Maybe this kitchen hack will help your warped cutting board problem.
1). Heat your oven with a clean cookie sheet on the middle rack to about 250" and shut the oven off.
2). Put the cutting board on the cookie sheet with the dome part of the warp facing up.
3). Place a heavy Dutch oven (i.e., cold Le Creuset if you have it) on top.
4). Check your board after about five minutes.
5) The weight of the kettle should flatten out the board. If you don't have a heavy Dutch oven, you can always fill a big pot with water for extra heft and weight.
As our Julia would say, "Bon chance." I hope it helps; it worked for me.
I grew up in Durban, it has the largest community of Indians outside India, and curry is pervasive. The two things I always have with my curry is curry leaves, and sliced banana. I also like having raita, which is the cucumber and onion, but mixed with plain yoghurt and a few spices. If you add fresh chillies to your curry it really helps moderate the spiciness. Mmmm, I'm so hungry for a good curry now. Thanks for a brilliant episode.
LOVE raita! Indian version of tzatziki is what my kids used to call it.
Yeah, I was able to inch up marginally in the spice level I could tolerate when I realized raita and lassis are there (in part) to put the fire out.
And Mrs. Ball's peach chutney!
@@howieroarkeI prefer Mrs Ball's apricot. Nothing beats Mrs Ball's chutneys.
My mom grew up in Canada watching Julia Child on TV, then spent her young adulthood, where she started cooking for a household, in Nepal and in Durban. She puts out sliced bananas and diced cucumber with her curry. I have no idea the source of that, and she can no longer remember.
Sir Mix-A-Lot. A noble knight of the kitchen kingdom.
As a child of the 70's in the UK my mum would make curry and we would have sliced banana, desiccated coconut and cucumber to sprinkle on top, it was so so good.
Use a strainer in the top of the measuring cup lined with a tea towel. Once it's all poured through gather your tea towel and squeeze keeping everything over the strainer and measuring cup. No major mess.
When I look back at some of the earlier videos Jaime impresses me more every week
"Every type of farm animal except a horse .... thank God..." LOL. Another great job, Jamie! It looks delicious !!
I would make this with organic goat and then it would be African!
In the middle of your video CZcams had an ad for business class on Air France. You must have a very classy demographic. Makes me feel proud. And a little haughty.

Love this. Brought back many memories
I will forever love the bay leaf comments! I recently told my sons about it (both are great cooks, taught them everything 🤣) they both laughed out loud and have used your saying while cooking. Again, humor makes great food!
OMG!! Growing up in NZ my very white mother used to always serve us lentil stew with desiccated coconut and sliced banana! I never understood where that came from until the intro of this video lol
Somehow she missed the curry part haha
Hi. Next time you make this curry try this - place the rice in a ring close to the edge of the plate creating a well, spoon the curry in well. Spoon the condiments alternately on the the rice forming a pattern. You can then eat it taking a spoon of rice with the condiment you want, say chopped peanuts, dragging it into the curry to get the meat and sauce. You can also mix it all together as you wish, but plating up this way is very pretty.
Omg, did I just catch this as it uploaded?! How lucky am I?!
It's 00:50am South African time🇿🇦 and I'm here!❤❤❤ Love you Jamie🥰
3:07 Made me straight-up cackle! 😂 The 1960s weren't THAT long ago... but sentiments like this remind me how far we've come.
The 1960's?
...that was about 60 years ago o.o
@@Shenorai seriously. We were still dealing with the Jim Crow laws in the 60s.
Actuallllyyyy, it sort of was that long ago. LOL
@@Shenorai she must watch a lot of Townsend videos.
@@megapyro88 Yep, these days you just have to say the wrong pronoun to get lynched, regardless of color.
I propose "La Guillotine" as a cool name for the blender. As you do so much French cooking, I think it is about time you choose a French name for one of your kitchen machines. Or have you already picked that name for your mandoline slicer? I might have missed that.... Anyway, your expedition of many recipies is quite often revolutionary and bloody messy so I think the name fits in many ways. I love your show, Jamie! With kind regards from Cologne, Germany.
This brought back memories. Back in the 1970s-80s, when I was a kid my mom made curry like this with all the condiments. Although raisins were a condiment not in the dish. But, yes, the bananas were a star as was the mango chutney. But the condiments could range from many to few, depending what was on hand. Also, she usually made it with leftover chicken or turkey. So the curry had was a golden color. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.
You can literally just put those uncooked 'papads' in microwave for 10-20 seconds, or just roast them over open flame on the stove with tongs. You'll get some charred spots on the flame and perfect cook in the microwave. I prefer the open flames.
Loved the video!
Thank you so much for the heat-coconut-in-the-oven trick!
I've been making a similar curry with apples, golden raisins, and pineapple since the 1970s. I asked some friends of mine from India if they had ever had a curry with these ingredients in India. They said they had not, but that they thought it might be a curry from the West Indies.
The origin of using these ingredients in a curry is murky to say the least.
A Reddit post states "I was watching one of these unintentionally funny, yet educational Marco Pierre White "Knorr" videos. In this video he makes a curry using apples, pineapple and banana which he cooks down into a paste alongside some curry powder and flour. My mam (Irish, so a similar food culture to brits) also makes a curry using Bramley cooking apples in a similar way... where does this technique come from?" a reply states "The Japanese do the curry powder roux thing with apples as well." Another reply states "Jamaican curries often have fruit." Another reply states "We make curries with pineapple and ripe mangoes here in southern India." Others state that it is a British and Irish botched attempt at an Indian chutney added to a curry.
Someone in an internet forum thought that curries with fruit ingredients may have originated in the Kashmir region of India. Others thought it might have originated in Africa or the Caribbean.
A blog states "I love the idea of a good Korma. Traditionally, these are amazing Indian curries made rich with the addition of cream and nuts. Some are also made with dried fruit like golden raisins to really add more richness and a feeling of utter luxury when you bite into the sweet notes on occasion." Korma has its roots in the Mughlai cuisine of the Indian subcontinent.
There is a 2015 article from BBC News that states "A Victorian curry recipe featuring sour apples and dripping has surfaced in East Yorkshire. It is one of the more extreme examples of how Indian cuisine has evolved in British hands."
South Indian curries use raw mango. It adds sourness. Raw mango is also often added to dals for a sour hit. Ripe mango curry is a specific regional dish from Kerala.
As far as kormas are concerned, there is the North Indian korma which is creamy and made with cashew or almond paste and the South Indian korma or kurma which is made with coconut, poppy seeds and a little cashew paste. It's much lighter than the heavy, rich North Indian version.
I used this recipe years ago though I didn't know it was Julia's. I had this at a friend's house and asked for the recipe and this was what I was given. I made it once and never made it again because I would have needed to actually consult the recipe before shopping and that is not something I do on a regular basis. I have missed this dish, I think I will plan on making it next time I have a guest to dinner. Thank you for bringing back such a great memory.
It seems familiar to me as well, but I’m pretty sure my first curry was from the NYT International Cookbook by Craig Claiborne.
From the 9% of us who taste coriander as soap - thank you Jamie.
Seconded, it's repulsive x
I watched the podcast you did for choices and chances and I just want you to know that all your hard work is noticed and appreciated!! This is peak youtube content!
My sister sent home some curry powder in the 1970's when she was a missionary. Most folks in our little town hadn't even heard of it but my mom found a recipe for curry in the Betty Crocker cook book and I still use that recipe. Needless to say I don't care for the "sweeter" style with raisins or cinnamon.
Please get Julie Sahni’s Classic Indian Cooking and work your way through it!!
Apparently, in a pinch, coconut water could be used to replace blood-my Dad was a medic in WW2. Perfect balance of electrolytes, like Brawndo!
😂
It's got electrolytes! Not like the stuff in the toilet.
not replace blood, just for intravenous fluid resuscitation just like intravenous normal saline used in hospitals. nothing can replace blood. the most important part of coconut water, apart from the electrolytes, is that it is sterile
It's got what blood craves.
It is a great hidralyte substitute if one can't get to the real thing
0:45 Sounds like the Blue Angels practicing for the air show at Jones Beach. The curry feast looks very appealing. I love all the options for condiments.
South Park made an entire episode with that time stamp as the basis
A well-used rubber paint-can mallet is an essential kitchen tool, for me. Great for chopping frozen spinach blocks in half with massive knife. Great for slicing frozen pizza in half, too. I can see myself using my rubber-paint mallet to mash a coconut, too. Happy cooking!
Agreed! One of my most used kitchen tools since I was a mere novice in the kitchen.
@@rosezingleman5007 : Awesome! Good to know I'm not the only one using a used rubber paint mallet in the kitchen! Normally in combination with a chef's knife or chef's cleaver, ofc :) Happy cooking! Watch those fingers!
Always a good day when Jamie uploads.
There is nothing wrong with fusion recipes. She was (again) ahead of her time!🤗🤗🤗👍🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Watching your channel totally changes the joy i get from Julie and Julia. I love knowing what they’re talking about, what was the challenges to make things. I feel like an expert 😂
well done! The Indian inside of me says, 'Make a curry masala from scratch. With roti.' I know you can do it. But wow, you mastered the feast.
A good trick with garlic, is to flatten it with a slap of the side of your knife, put a good thwack (3 to 4 finger pinch) of coarse salt, and spread back and forward as many times as required with the back of your knife until you get the consistency of preseasoned garlic you want. It won't take long at all.
You're welcome.
OMG this brought me back to the first curry I used to make and YES it had apple!!! That was the 1980s and it was DELICIOUS. ❤❤
My English Dad would make curry just like this minus the red wine and coconut milk. Clive of India curry powder with various toppings. Banana, crushed potato chips, diced tomato and dessicated coconut. We all loved it then!
Love your content! Thanks For this ❤❤❤❤
Jamie!! Your videos have really come a long way. This is awesome!!
thanks for providing joy while getting me through my final quarter Jamie! And I agree the mixer should be called Sir Mix-a-Lot
Tiene poco tiempo que descubrí tu canal y simplemente no puedo dejar de verlo, es fantástico!!!!
Gracias por replicar las recetas simplemente el mejor!🎉🎉
That looks awesome! You gave it time...the magic ingredient.
My other used to make a very anglicized curry like that - apples or canned pineapple and definitely raisins - with pork or chicken. Lamb was just too expensive. The stock and the wine in this version would definitely make it deeper and more savoury and I imagine the coconut milk would make the whole thing very rich. I think I’m going to give this a whirl just for nostalgia’s sake. Love your show Jaime!
Oh - you got a new Dutch Oven! Absolutely love your show. Enjoyed your podcast the other day too.
Your cooking videos inspired me to make a lasagna from scratch today. Thank you for that! Took the whole day, but it turned out incredible. Thank you for the inspo!
That curry looks absolutely delicious. Thank you, Jamie that was so much fun.❤️✌️🌼
Would you look at that! Jamie uploading a curry video the day I'm eating curry! What a nice surprise hehe
“Minus the HORSE?” I’m crying. My stomach hurts from laughing so hard.
ANTI-CHEF, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!
Saw your interview. Maybe you could do a live Q&A to take a break but keep the algorithm happy
Jamie, this is so far one of my favourite episodes of yours!! I've been having a rough time, and your show has really brought a great smile to my face! Thank you and Loves from Canada!!!
Oohh that should be interesting! Never thought that she had recipes outside of the French-Italian-American realm.
She was very interested in and appreciative of world cuisines. She loved to go to restaurants with non-Western chefs to experience more.
Can't wait to find out her favorite Puerto Rican dish.
Love the way you honor her work.
Always happy to see Julia with another amazing dish! 🔥🔥🔥
Jaimie, I gotta say you really aced this one! Well done!
I'm glad this worked out! I'm all about Weird, and the banana and apples in curry is definitely out of my box! Can't wait to try it :)
Your channel is seriously one of my favorites. Humor then recipes.
I’d love you to do a video of kitchen tools, gadgets, cookware, etc. Must-haves, favorites, and rarely use items.
Yay another video from Jamie!❤❤❤🎉🎉
I’ve never heard anyone call a Honey Crisp apple a sour apple! 😅 But dang, that looks so good!
I never comment but. HAD to see if anyone else noticed the “sour” honeycrisp 😅
THANK YOU. Drove me crazy to see no one else had mentioned that.
This is a very old English style curry recipe, I assume she gathered it together from Victorian cookbooks or something!
The apple thing lives on in one 'curry' segment in the UK: Chinese takeaway (takeout) curry sauce. I'm sure some buy it in powdered form these days but the real deal stuff is made using apples and Madras curry powder along with many other vegetables and spices, reduced down to a thick paste and sometimes even dried into cube form which can be reconstituted a little like those long life Japanese katsu curry cubes you can buy.
What a great dish! Thanks, Jamie!
What a feast!!! Looks delicious great job as always! 💙
I have never been so hungry watching a cooking video before! Mmmmm!
As someone who’s worked in kitchens and been too other countries trying different styles of cooking it’s all about (having fun) in the kitchen food brings love and joy and love watching the challenges you take on in a house
Easily my favorite cooking channel :)
i just love seeing how much you have improved in the time i have been watching. great video Jamie!
That looked amazing!
0:56
That lovely V8 sounding rip outside was a appropriate harbinger of things to come.
Another amazing show! BTW really enjoyed the Podcast you did. Had no idea of the struggle, but you came into your own with these videos. Well done!
I always wish your videos were each 40 minutes long😂 They are soo good! You really found your style and it's immaculate
I learned my appreciation of curry from my mom, who was a stay-at-home mom of the 50's, 60's, and 70's. She was also a very social person and hosted both luncheons and dinners for neighborhood wives and their families. Unfortunately, my father was a very picky eater with a very limited tolerance for "exotic" foods, so her experiments w/curry dishes extended only to luncheons. She would make a very simple curry sauce to serve over sliced hard boiled eggs on rice. I enjoy this simple meal to this day and have expanded my own experiments w/curry into soups and stews, but so far have only used chicken as the meat. Now I'm going to have to try beef and pork.
Looks amazing 😋
Decades ago I made this dish with my new Julia Child Cookbook (same as Jamie's). I still use raisins, banana, and chutney.
Boomer here. My Mom used to make a very similar curry to this. She'd put the condiments in the middle of the table for each of us to add to the curry as we wished. Never did banana, though.
Loved this video Jamie! So interesting to see Julia do something a little different.
A couple of pointers - when browning meat, do in two batches not to overcrowd the pan, having a darker sear honestly increases the meaty flavour by a huge amount in the final dish!
When deep frying, keep that handle pointed at the back towards the wall so you don’t accidentally clip it and send hot oil flying over you (that wouldn’t be fun I don’t think 😬)
The feast looked amazing well done!
Another WOW ... THANK YOU. x
Great looking curry! You have come such a long way and am loving your channel!
You rocked it, dude. Love how so many things somehow ended up on the floor.
I’ve never been to India, and I’m not sure if Julia ever was. But this all sounds delicious.
My husband and I do papadam(s) fairly often, but I hated the frying bit. Now, I just put them individually on a paper towel in the microwave and zap them until they’re done.
Not sure what folks from India would think of them, but they do it for me.
Traditionally you do fry some types of papads (lentil ones are roasted on stove). But i hate it too (also health) and just microwave them .
A classic 70s curry, before better understanding of various regional/ national styles of this dish became understood and recipes became more authentic. Love the heavy reliance on more accessible ingredients to achieve a pretty respectable outcome. The lazy susan of condiments made my head spin (pun intended) tho as oh wow that went global in influence real quick.
The banana condiment is reminiscent of the Friend’s episode when Rachel made trifle. But you seemed to enjoy it so…I guess I won’t knock it ☺️
That looks sensational! A disco in the mouth. In England, up until fairly recently, sultanas and apples were in cateen or shop-bought curries. Sort of thing you'd get in hospital, school or prison. I love this french spin, with wine and a roux.
Even though he complains about the recipes and he's making a business out of this. I feel like he's honoring her with these videos. I find these videos very sincere; just a dude trying to learn how to make food. I feel like I'm watching fresh episodes of The French Chef.
Apple, raisins and red wine sounds like a Julia Child-1960’s-supermarket-friendly way to approximate the flavour of tamarind.
Jamie, I think that the word you were looking for, is meld/melding/ melded !!! Every time you tried to gather it in your mind, your hands were also trying to grasp it 😂!!! ❤Love Every Episode !!! You make even me feel as though it can be done! Bon appetit!
I like "amalgamate"; why use one syllable when you can cram in four? 😉
I enjoy how real you are cooking, lol big fan
As a patron...YES. THANK YOU. This is AMAZING!
Look at you slicin' those onions! CZcams and repetition has made you a verifiable chef. Good on you, my man. 👍🤘
Great work, Jamie 🎉 I will cook it
Pretty sure this is the curry recipe my mom made when I was a kid. Putting your own toppings on was always the best!
You have the best channel on CZcams. Thank you.
Loved how you just owned the second bay leaf!
(mic drop)! Awesome video as per usual.
