      Thank you for your very kind invitation to the world of indian kitchen ! However I tried to cook a chickpeas masala at home yesterday, ( before that I 've watched your guide) and I got a tasty result of it. We have some good shops in Budapest (Hungary) so I can reach everything (MDH, TRS, etc spices )
      I send my best wishes from Budapest !

      Hello. Wrong. I would agree usually on just getting right to the steps- but this [Indian cuisine] is totally foreign to me.
      👉 And, I so appreciated hearing what others have done wrong 😮

    What a wonderful 'gentle' presentation style - full of facts and "do's and don'ts" AND the WHY. I've made much more complex curry pastes (roasting spices, grinding, adding dried spice powders, pickling and frying etc) which are really time consuming so I'll definitely give this a go! New subscriber,

  • @CastorQuinn
    @CastorQuinn Před 5 měsíci +21

    As someone who has continually struggled to understand how to cook spiced food, this is the clearest and most helpful curry instructional I have ever seen. Thank you, you have significantly enhanced my quality of life by explaining not just how but why to use spices.

  • @lilykhandker4126
    @lilykhandker4126 Před 10 měsíci +21

    When I started cooking curries by mother (Bangadeshi and fantastic cook) said I only needed the following spices and to use them in these proportions
    1 tea spoon (tsp) Coriander
    1 tsp Turneric
    1/2 tsp Chilli
    1/2 tsp Paprika powder
    1/4 tsp Cumin
    I only use fresh Chillies when cooking my husband Fish curry
    I also freeze my cooked spices
    Loved this video

    I don't like hot food, so when the family has a curry, I usually pass and have something else instead.
    I really wanted to try to make this curry paste for my grandson, because it's Sunday I added chicken, cauliflower and potatoes.
    Oh my gosh, it's one of the best things I've ever tasted.

    Idk how this popped up. I’ve been cooking on and off since I got married. No one really teaches in our homes. They just expected you to have watched growing up and have the “feeling”. It comes with trial and error but goddamn did I have anxiety and panic attacks during those periods lol.
    This video is extremely useful and perfectly descriptive.

    This curry paste video was amazing! Your information is very detailed which I appreciate immensely, and your voice is so therapeutic !!
    I very recently got into experimenting with Indian cuisine and I’m in love! The use of fresh spices is second to none! Cooking with cinnamon, clove and bay leaves (other whole spices are much harder to come by where I live) has changed my life in the kitchen so I will be referring to your channel going forward!
    Thank you for all of the wonderful posts!

    I just did this last week and cooked with the frozen paste tonight. Excellent results! I did chick peas and made sure to add methi leaves and garam masala and sugar for balance and it just couldn't have been better. I also used asafetida in the oil. That's for the recipe and excellent descriptions of why all of the steps are required.

    I love Kashmiri chili powder. Also, have dried Kashmiri peppers. You mentioned freezing pastes. I freeze all sorts of homemade sauces/pastes; sofrito, recaito, harissa, mole, salsa verde, romesco, Thai red curry paste, etc., in 1-cup canning jars. I grow & cut cilantro, Italian parsley, basil, Holy basil, Thai basil, dill, etc.; process them separately then spoon into ice cube trays & freeze. This works well with the herbs but can be done with the pastes/sauces as well.

    I watched this 3 months ago and I've been making curry so many times since then that I'm so used to it now! I recently decided to eat less meat as its expensive so I bought a bag of chickpeas (I've never actually cooked them before because its not a food I care for), and I have pinto beans and yellow split peas. Going to buy some lentils as well and practice making more curries. Today, I made chicken tikka masala for the first time (I also don't think I'd ever had it before) and it was delicious! I added extra coriander powder as I love it! I'd never cooked with coriander before learning how to make curries, I'd only ever used the leaves, which we call cilantro but now I love it!
