I like it too. My favorite jarred is Ragu garden vegetable (like a sweet sauce) but I prefer making from scratch.

Made some slutty brownies for dessert tonight. They were pretty good I have to say.

And yes, I admit the name is the only reason why I decided to go to the effort of making them. Plus my wife was on call this weekend and I knew brownies would cheer her up.

Oh man completely agree. I started watching cooking shows for inspiration. The bete noire flourless torte I made a few pages back was something I saw on Milk Street.

Green Curry with Tofu and Vegetables

Tofu, onion, heirloom tomato, green jalapeno, red bell pepper, button mushroom, fresh basil in a mild sweet green curry over noodles.

Typically I just buy red curry paste but I wanted to try making curry from scratch. So, first attempt. Wasn't familiar with many of the spices and the result was a bit of a surprise too. I thought, okay, turmeric is orange-yellow, so I must be making a yellow curry. Nope.

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.

Didn't have to cook. Just rode down the Northumberland Coast to the Acadian Village of Cocagne for Lobster Club.

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.
