Chili: Discuss

[Dominic1920]

Brits are pretty familiar with spices. Curries etc are more British than they are Indian. Curry and chili share most of the same spices, really.

Actually had some dang spicy curries in the UK. I do like a good curry, but after trying several versions of it, I find the Filipino version of curry that is heavy on the coconut milk and spicy chilis is my favorite. Though the japanese have perfected curry rice eaten with pickled diakon, yummm. Gonna need a curry thread now.

Never tried filipino curry. How does it compare to Thai red curries that are heavy coconut? Thems my favorite.

I think that they are very similar. The red thai curry paste seems similar in taste, but the green curry is too sweet. but I'm eclectic when it comes to curry. I like the Japanese curry blocks then I add coconut milk. Kind of a japanese thai curry blend.

Biggest issue with the Japanese curry is the huge sodium load. In Japan, the curry houses are great - order rice by the gram, order the curry by the spice content and grams, and add things like pork cutlets, eggs or even squid steaks.

I do like the Japanese breaded pork cutlets they serve with that sweet and spicy Tonkatsu barbeque sauce. Its a favorite street dish of mine when in Nippon.

Man, now I want to make a thick red curry and spoon it over some breaded meats. ******* that sounds great. I normally just do pretty typical red curry paste with coconut milk and lots of fried eggplant etc. Mmm
