Oh thanks for that. Like I said, I was expecting it to be a yellow curry. While I did things like toasting the spices and then adding that to the coconut milk, I kept asking When does it turn yellow?

The thing you can't see from the photo is that it was a little gritty I thought. When I try again I will try these dry spices with a minced or pureed vegetable paste for a base. Also I wish I had chosen different vegetables. I think cucumber and carrot would have been good in this flavor curry. Topped with toasted peanuts I think would have been good but I only had pistachios.

This was the stepping-off point: https://www.curiouscuisiniere.com/ho...-curry-powder/ . I also added a half tsp of cinnamon and 2 small cloves of minced garlic. I toasted the dry spices in a pan then added to 13.5 oz can organic coconut milk and added a teaspoon of Dijon mustard brought to a simmer and simmered 30 min hoping to thicken. Also I hoped that simmering would reduce the grittiness, and I think it did.

By taste and color, I would describe what I cooked as a mild sweet green curry. It was "okay", passable, but not close enough to curry from a good restaurant and I think the recipe needs to be adjusted.

Nice. Yellow color comes primarily from turmeric. In my experience, turmeric is principally a coloring agent, and its flavor is generally not a feature of a dish. Quality and type of turmeric matters also. Mine is powdered, from the grocery. It is orange colored and not vibrant. The local Indian grocery has turmeric root for sale, where I could grind my own. This would have a better result in my view.

Are you going for a Thai-style curry? The coconut milk suggests this. I watched the first few minutes of this video, and the green curry paste looks legit. With the paste as a base you can add coconut milk, vegetables, chicken, shrimp, etc.

When I look for recipes outside of my cultural background, I look for recipes done by people from the country in question. My only objection to Thai cuisine is the use of coconut milk, which has its share of saturated fat. Otherwise, I enjoy the flavors.

That looks tasty. Do you get poutine in your area or is that more of a Quebec City dish?

I was in QC a few years ago and went on a foodie walking tour. We had some amazing poutine and now I am hooked. Great stuff, even when it is simple.

Yes and I make my own. I'll make a sampler tomorrow.

Yes, Thai-style. I also want to try making an Indian-style chickpea-potato curry stew. I think, Chana Masala or Pav Bhaji.

Thanks for the link to that video. That was better than the videos I watched and recipes I read.

Build in phones. Save your photo on desktop, turn them 360 degrees and save.

I just can't! Don't you have a kitchen table? No one eats in my car, nevermind off my engine. I can't imagine what must be lurking under your seats.

I let myself out now.

Obviously, your library is missing a paperback copy of "Manifold Destiny."

Back in the olden days, my parents would warm baby bottles on the exhaust manifold during road trips.....

Yep, I'm the same way. I don't eat or drink in my car and neither does anyone else. I'm a little OCD about it.

It's a new symptom of COVID

I put four ribeyes in the fridge with pink salt and a sweet mesquite rub yesterday. With a generous amount of jack/diet, this should be a good Monday dinner!!!
