Need some help
I picked up some pork steaks last night, and I'm looking to make a curry with them.

I've got this recipe to start with, but I want to change it around (mainly because I don't like chickpeas), does anyone have any suggestions for it?

One of the stranger ones I've heard today is to add some apple sauce and some sultanas, make it really fresh, what're your thoughts on that?

black pudding
or lentils, but I'm guessing you don't like them either as they are similar

Why don't you go fuck yourself, you irritating wank rag?
You're not funny, no use to anyone, your spelling is atrocious, and no-one likes you. Do us all a favour, and throw yourself under a fucking train.

Nah, lentils are a little dull, I feel.

Any particular type?

Floury i would have thought rather than waxy

Yeah, but don't cook them for too long

Ok, I've got some of those Rooster ones at home, reckon they'd do?

Chuck 'em in
Worst case you can fish them back out again at the end.

It'll say on the pack, floury for mashing and baking
waxy for roasting and frying.

This is classic error made by people, the right potatoe will make all the difference
especially for roasties.

True
What do you reckon, boil and add or let the sauce cook them?
(, Wed 1 Jun 2011, 12:12, Reply)
Boil for 5 then chuck in

I concur
*nods seriously*

Par-boil for 5 minutes or so
If you add them where the chickpeas are added you're only cooking for 10 minutes.

That recipe looks rubbish
since it involves curry powder, which tastes shit.

You should just dice it up and pour a pataks sauce over it.

Depends on the curry powder
Try getting a proper blend from an Indian shop

It also only has one garlic clove and a pinch of chili
clearly it is for pooves and girls.
(, Wed 1 Jun 2011, 12:10, Reply)
It's only a base, am planning on making it hotter than that.

It's 7oz of chickpeas
pick a vegetable you like in curry - spinach, onion, pepper. Do 7oz of them instead of the chickpeas. Sorted.

Edit: Or potato as suggested above, that's a good one. Ooh, or Sweet Potato, that'd be nice with pork.

Sweet potato is good with everything!

Sweet potato recipe!
Fry off an onion until soft. Boil and mash a couple of sweet potatoes. Chuck the onion, some cheddar cheese, some peas, a spoonful of flour and an egg into the mix and make sure it is all thoroughly mixed together.

Spoon into an ovenfroof dish, score the top with a fork and bake until the top goes crispy.

It is fucking lovely

On this front, a nice bit of butternut squash would work

(, Wed 1 Jun 2011, 12:14, Reply)
Roasted butternut squash with a bit of garlic and chilli is amazing!
I chuck the chunks into soups too
