Emma, interesting that you all refer to cooking with curry PASTE...I am not familiar with this; have always used Madras hot curry POWDER. Can you tell me a little more about it?? Thanks!

Dandysmom, the curry paste is herbs, spices, peppers mixed with oil, it is very similar if you were going to create your own curry paste. I would have thought that it would be a bit fresher than curry powder. I sometimes use a curry powder but I do prefer the freshness of the curry paste.

I use curry powder A LOT, so my bottle never gets to be around long enough to go stale ..lol..

But thanks for the info; I'll look around the next time I'm in the Gourmet section.

Dandysmon I am sure you would love the paste over the powder. Do you find that you have to cook the powder out more to get rid of the "powder" texture??

If you have any problems finding a good paste, let me know and perhaps I can sort out sending you a couple of jars (Can't cost that much to send them to the US

)

lol @ Donna.

Trust me you will be fine

Donna - you'll be fine, it's quite simple!!! It's just so satisfying to make a home-made curry that tastes good

When cooking your curry once you have added coconut milk, cream etc you add the blackened onions and let the curry cook for at least another 15 mins, the onions then melt into the curry thickening it up and making it very very rich.

I would recommend this to anybody who loves cooking currys.[/quote]

Emma, i make lots of currys and have never heard of this so i'm going to try it out tonight with my chickpea and sweet potato curry. Thanks for the tip and i'll post my results here.

Yes please post your results I would be interested to hear how you got on
