Which curry?

Post #1,169 by dpeterson 7/9/01 12:05:24 PM Reply	Which curry? My understanding is that there are many types of curry. It's like mustard. You have everything from plain yellow to brown to spicy with seeds. If so, which type of curry are you using? Darryl A. Peterson I'm not as funny as I think I am.

Post #1,206 by CRConrad 7/9/01 4:08:12 PM Reply	Yeah, what's called "Curry" (=just plain), up here... ...in the Scandahoovian countries is a fairly yellowish(-tan?)-brown mild powder. The choice, like, doubled when thy introduced "Extra Strong" curry powder a few years ago...! :-) This is perhaps a little darker, and actually quite a lot stronger -- just about perfect as a spice for regular food. But I think that'd be too strong for this dish, which is after all supposed to balance with the sweetness of bananas, a usually not especially sweet fruit. But Heck, what do I know...!? Experiment -- that's what cooking's all about! :-) Christian R. Conrad The Man Who Knows Fucking Everything

However, the banana was just past green and I had to add some milk in order to get the banana mushed up enough to mix with the curry. I'm going to try this at least one more time with a riper banana and see what happens. I'll let you know how it works out. Darryl A. Peterson I'm not as funny as I think I am.

To some extent, it's absorbed into the surface; the more so the longer you fry 'em. Which is why it's an advantage not to use over-ripe ones: Then they don't go to total mush, but rather achieve the consistency of... eh, a (very) limp dick. Christian R.

Post #1,330 by CRConrad 7/10/01 4:11:42 PM Reply	Not originally, no -- but, hey... ...everybody's free to invent their own variations! :-) Only I don't think mashing 'em would work; not just like that, mash 'em and you're done. Mashed bananas are far too gooey to hold together in "patties" all by themselves, AFAICS. I suspect you'd have to add flour or eggs or both, make it into a kind of batter. And that would be a whole new, different, dish. But who knows, maybe it's an even better one! Christian R. Conrad The Man Who Knows Fucking Nothing About Fried Curried Banana Patties
