Morrisons hot curries



I always find supermarket curries poor...

But I also think that even Indian restaurant curries are milder than ever before... used to go to the bengal lancer 20 yrs ago and the madras was lethal.. now no matter where we go a madras is quite mild ..

Went to namaste on the way into shields last week and I got a lamb dish ( Ross kemps favourite apparently) was meant to be hot but was only slightly spicy...

I'm not a hot food hard man by any stretch but there's not a lot of spice out there nowadays
 
As a daft lad in my youth we used to go for a curry after clubbing on a Friday night. We used to ask for a "hot" phal so they'd spice it up from normal. It would blow you away but so pissed you wouldn't care.
These days I wouldn't touch one and much prefer something mild and flavoursome.
 
I was a Madras man for years until someone bought me "The Curry Secret" book for Christmas.

I started to work my way through the book and the results were fab, just like a takeaway or restaurant.

Any hoo ... I got to the Madras part and it said make a base curry and add chicken and 1 spoon of chilli - Chicken curry
Add 2 spoon of chilli - Madras
Add 2 spoons of chilli - Vindaloo
Add 4 spoons of chilli - Phal

I thought, is that all they're doing?
No secret blend of herbs for taste etc, just piling in chilli powder?

Now I go for the speciality dishes, I want them to work a bit, not just make something hotter by adding chilli

Proper vindaloo is supposed to have vinegar in

Madras and vindaloo are (or should be) specialist dishes, just adding extra chilli powder will not turn a Madras onto a vindaloo. It might make a hotter Madras, but that's all it will be.
 
Don't know why people choose curries like this. They're not enjoyable and when I had a phall (for my 21st) I was shitting blood for 3 days.

Yeah, that can happen. Either the lining of your intestine is massively inflamed, you are allergic to something in it, or youve hurt yourself dropping the kids off at the pool when the turtle was getting curious Jonny Cash Ring of fire style.
