The Curry Club
Re: The Curry Club
Gelatinous, you had me reaching out for the dictionary, a very appropriate description. Viscous is another word I would use, and that leaves me with that feeling of why should the dish be so! It is simply because there is a lack of meat, but a very thick consistency too mask the lack of ingredients.hanno wrote: ↑Sun May 01, 2022 7:40 amAgreed, that does not look like a Keema at all. Don't care much for the apparent consistency either, looks too gelatinous.AndyKK wrote: ↑Sat Apr 30, 2022 11:24 pmAlso, it is down to the tastes of the curries. Preparation and authentication, and also the cost of the dish.
Tonight, I had a lamb keema, it was fair, but not right. To me keema is a dish of minced meat and not half inch cuts, and it had a strong overkill of Black pepper.

Re: The Curry Club
I am guessing the latter. Shortcutting on actually cooking a proper curry and helping it along with some corn starch.AndyKK wrote: ↑Sun May 01, 2022 8:54 amGelatinous, you had me reaching out for the dictionary, a very appropriate description.

Re: The Curry Club
I decided to eat out last night, so I had a ride over to the Taj Mahal Restaurant on street 136 between Central Market and Riverside. far from my first visit to this Pakistani restaurant that offers good value for their food, mainly because of the large amount of meat used in their dishes, so in reflection large portion's.
The main reason for my visit is knowing it is one of the very few restaurants in the city where you can get an authentic Kofta dish.
Meat (beef) Kofta Masala -
A very interesting, and tasty dish, way too much for myself to tackle in one sitting. People who also like a good curry may also tell you that the dish is even more tasty the day after, due to spices infusing the dish.
The second helping today, and better photos of the consistency of the Kofta -

Re: The Curry Club
Based solely on the reviews in this thread I think Kampot has better Indian food than PP; I must post a few dishes next time I indulge in an Indian
Re: The Curry Club
Please do that Jerry, I certainly agree with you that Kampot has the better Indian food than Phnom Penh. I would like to pay a visit in the near future to a few restaurants in Kampot.Jerry Atrick wrote: ↑Mon May 02, 2022 5:46 pm Based solely on the reviews in this thread I think Kampot has better Indian food than PP; I must post a few dishes next time I indulge in an Indian

Beef karahi. a flavoursome Pakistani dish, with always lots of meat, would be normally accompanied by Naan bread. I have gone for the lighter chapatti.

Change from a curry, a Khmer sour soup dish, being in Kampong Cham.

Re: The Curry Club
No Thai restaurants here either so I made myself a Massaman Curry, on of my favorite Thai curries (couldn't find beef so chicken had to do):
