Kedgeree and lamb curry: Tamal Ray’s recipes for homely favourites | Food

Kedgeree and lamb curry: Tamal Ray’s recipes for homely favourites | Food

Published by skeptic

This week, I bring you two approaches to weeknight dinner. First, a new take on kedgeree that’s swiftly put together and swaps the traditional boiled eggs for roast aubergines. Kedgeree was the invention of the British in colonial India, but was inspired by khichuri, a more ancient dish of rice and lentils, so here I’ve reinstated the pulses in the form of mung dal and peas: an Indian dish, adapted by the British, and changed again by an Indian living in Britain. The other dish is a smoky lamb curry that I often make ahead at the weekend – it freezes really well and makes for a bowl of richly spiced comfort to come home to. Kedgeree (pictured top) This is inspired both by my mother’s Bengali khichuri and the classic British kedgeree. Prep 10 minCook 30 minServes 4 1 aubergineVegetable oil¾ tsp ground turmericSalt270g haddock fillets150g mung dal150g brown onions, peeled and diced25g fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped 1 tsp ground cumin1 tsp ground coriander275g basmati rice100g frozen peas50g unsalted butter75g golden raisins …

Eurasian food at Quentin’s in Singapore: Curry debal, sugee cake, feng, prawn bostador

Eurasian food at Quentin’s in Singapore: Curry debal, sugee cake, feng, prawn bostador

“Every family will have their own set of recipes, and this is my grandmother’s. Chillies play an important part because we use a lot of fresh chillies and dried chillies,” Chef Quentin said. Making sure the heat and flavour is balanced for guests is always a challenge, but at my request for the dish to be extra spicy, Chef Quentin threw in extra red chillis. Grandma’s recipe called for a rempah (spice paste) fried with aromatics including red chillies, shallots and ginger. This was added to marinated chicken wings and drumsticks, along with the bacon, sausages, cabbage, cucumber and potato. Lifted with lashings of white vinegar, the brilliant red curry debal (S$32.80) was garnished with crispy slivers of ginger and served smoking hot. White rice (S$2.80) and half a baguette (S$5) were a must for sopping up the fiery gravy. Chef Quentin’s curry debal, with its zingy vinegar edge and triumvirate of smoky, fatty, salty protein was dynamite. To me, it was Eurasian culture lovingly presented on a serving platter. In which East and West …

Steph Curry Says He’s Not Ruling Out Running for President

Steph Curry Says He’s Not Ruling Out Running for President

Published by Sam

Steph Curry might crossover to politics in the future!  In an interview with CBS Mornings on Tuesday, the Golden State Warriors star hinted that a career in politics could be possible. “Maybe,” he teased to Jericka Duncan when asked if he could see himself as the president of the United States or in another political role. His reason? Making a change.  “I have an interest in leveraging every part of my influence for good in the way that I can,” the 35-year-old basketball pro said. “So if that’s the way to do it.” Demetrius Freeman/The Washington Post via Getty Images He added, “If politics is a way that you can create meaningful change or if there’s another way outside of politics, you know, that we can do…” In a test to see how far away Curry’s aspirations in the political filed may be, Duncan suggested, “2028.”  “Not that soon,” Curry replied with a laugh.  Curry (whose real name is Wardell Stephen Curry II) has played in the NBA as a point guard since 2009 and the four-time …

Rukmini Iyer’s easy, quick-fried paneer curry with ginger and cream – recipe | Curry

Rukmini Iyer’s easy, quick-fried paneer curry with ginger and cream – recipe | Curry

Published by skeptic

This is a week-night take on my mum’s incomparable malai kofta, for which you blend homemade paneer with coriander and spices until fluffy, roll the mixture into balls, then deep-fry and serve with a spiced cream sauce. In this version, you quickly fry shop-bought paneer and serve it with a similar sauce that includes peas for colour and some other veg. My top tip, which comes from food writer Roopa Gulati, is that you can improve shop-bought paneer no end by giving it a quick soak before use – it rehydrates and has a lovely, fluffy texture, rather than bouncing off the plate when you try to stab it with a fork. Quick-fried paneer curry with tomatoes, ginger and cream If you have any leftovers, this curry is even nicer the next day; it freezes well, too. Prep 15 minCook 30 minServes 4 225g paneer, cut into 1cm cubes3 tbsp neutral oil1 large white onion, peeled and finely sliced5cm ginger, peeled and finely grated2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely grated2 tsp coriander seeds, freshly ground2 …

Israel To Take ‘More Aggressive’ Stance Against Russia To Curry Favor With US

Israel To Take ‘More Aggressive’ Stance Against Russia To Curry Favor With US

Published by skeptic

Authored by Andrew Korybko via Substack, Israel isn’t planning to send early warning systems to Ukraine out of solidarity but is really trying to curry more favor with the US as its war with Hamas reaches the endgame, though Tel Aviv is disguising its true intentions as a signal of displeasure with Moscow’s balancing act between Israel and Hamas. Israel’s Permanent Representative to the UN announced late last month that his country is “working to provide Ukraine with early warning systems”, which was followed by a hardline lawmaker promising that “Israel will take a more aggressive stance against Russia.” This came after the new Israeli Ambassador to Russia caused a scandal in early February by misportraying Russia’s regional policy, which readers can learn more about in this analysis here that hyperlinks to nearly two dozen relevant pieces about it. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova reacted to this development by lamenting “The fact that people in the region, especially Israeli politicians, perceive and follow the path imposed on them by the ‘exceptionalists’ – the US”, which has “exacerbated and brought closer this catastrophic situation in …

How to make the perfect Japanese curry rice – recipe | Japanese food and drink

How to make the perfect Japanese curry rice – recipe | Japanese food and drink

Published by skeptic

In the early years of this century, not long after I ate my first “sushi” (M&S vegetarian selection, since you ask), I tried my first katsu curry at a cool London noodle bar, with my cool new university friends, one of whom had been banging on about this Wagamama place since freshers’ week. You could have knocked me down with a feather when I found that the thick, brown gravy dolloped over neat slices of breaded chicken reminded me of nothing more than good old chip shop curry sauce. Of course, I didn’t mention this at the time, for fear of ridicule – it wasn’t until many years later that I found out this was no mere coincidence. As Japanese chef and author Hiroko Shimbo explains, “Indian curry came to Japan from England”, via the Royal Navy, when the country first opened up to foreign trade in the second half of the 19th century. After adoption by the Japanese armed forces, it became more widely popular as an example of yōshoku, or western food. Vegetarian …

Ayesha and Stephen Curry‘s oldest child, Riley, may be the next person to grace the big screen. Talking with ET’s Rachel Smith from the premiere of her new Netflix film, Irish Wish, the 34-year-old mom of three said 11-year-old Riley is already well on her way to becoming the star of the Curry troop.  “My kids definitely have the arts bug.
