Every restaurant has it's own way of making the same thing. Most places that sell curry blend their own. Different ammounts of fat, cook temp, cook time etc. Think of it like pizza, I guess. Everywhere does the same thing differently. Just experiment and keep track of how you make it. When you find that one thing that works, hold onto that method and adjust from there. Start with something basic and then tweak it to your liking. When it's good enough that you don't think it needs anymore tweaking, then you got yourself a recipe.

If it's not rich enough, you need more ghee or cream. If it's not heavy enough on the tongue, you need more garlic, onion (or msg), salt or sugar. If there's just a little something missing, you might need more cumin, coriander, fennel, or a pinch of fenugreek.

If you're using pre-mixed masala, you're doomed to a mediocre start - they're a good way to save time when making a spice-mix, but they're not totally amazing on their own. Suraj's garam masala, and Patak's jarred nonsense are pretty good, but they need a little something something.

forgot to add, sometimes it needs some tang - lime, lemon, vinegar, or yogurt will add different layers of it. Treat yogurt like you would sour cream: it goes in after the heat's off.

One secret is the meat is usually marinaded and then cooked in a tandoori on skewers. This allows it to get charred and develop a more barbecued flavor. You can simulate this by broiling/grilling your meat in the oven.

Pretty much whatever the spice mix is double it. You want a 2:1 cumin to every other spice ratio. Start by sauteing fresh onion, garlic and ginger in butter, then add fresh chilli. Also don't forget to season.
My usual curry I start by frying onion, garlic, ginger, chilli, add meat, season, add spices, fry for a few minutes, tomato paste, cream, then water or a bit of stock. Taste the sauce frequently to adjust seasoning and if you want to add more heat.

Indian is a whole cuisine, there aren't magic tricks.
I spend 9 months in India and can provide some insight.
1. as always there is little room for substituting ingredients, you get mut food every single time and there is no way of avoiding this.
2. Quality ingredients are essential and the worst offender is stale powdered spices. Spices are sold by quality and the "use by" is just lies.
3. Don't mix up Indian food from different regions, even Indian nationals themselves do it.
4. Learn to love your mortar and pestle/spice blender, typically you make a paste with aromatics and spice then fry it off.
5. stop using tinned beans, they are already mush before you cook them- buy dried beans.
6. Indians cook from fresh, if you don't enjoy your pig food. Make larger batches to lessen the workload and carry over prepped ingredients

In America people refer to all the diverse mongoloid ethnicities as Asian so long as they have slit eyes and yellow skin. The concept that Indians and middle eastern people are also Asian baffles them to the point of total stupefaction.

Right, you give it time to rise. But then you roll it flat before throwing it into the pan. Whatever proto-crumb you developed during the rise is squished. Then, you don't have it on the heat for long enough to get a new crumb. Sure, bubbles develop, but you get that with tortillas as well, and those don't have yeast in them.

'South Asians' exist within their own subcontinent, separated from the rest of Asia by vast mountain ranges. They share a deeper ethnic, linguistic, and historical connection to the caucasian peoples of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East than they do the rest of the heavily Chinese-influenced Asia. Geographically they are located in Asia, yes. Nobody is disputing this. But language evolves, and to most people today, continental denonyms are deeply associated with their corresponding racial groups. It is disingenuous to act as if you cannot understand why someone would then take issue with calling a group Asian who has not descended from or been otherwise influenced by the ancient Chinese civilization.

There are 3 levels of curry making :
1- you find the store bought curry pastes
2- you realize each dish is it's own mix of spices
3- you realize that Indian cooking has its own way of doing things

So your next step is to throw away your curry pastes, buy your spices, find a few good desi recipes and get to work.

>>14714449
I do not choose for these connotations to exist. I am simply pointing them out. My argument lies less in racial makeup and more in the shared cultural and linguistic ties. Referring to Desi populations as Asians in modern language is misleading and frankly not very useful when trying to discuss broader sociogical/demographic groups and trends. We by and large do not consider the Arab populations of North Africa 'African' colloquially, so why should we not follow the same with South Asians?

So many responses and no real advice for op question.

The secret is in curry base/gravy. Onions and tomatoes simmered together with spices. This is the secret to restaurant flavour.

Garam Masala is fine to use, it's mostly spices you'd grind anyway. Fresh Coriander is godlike though, dried simply doesn't compare.

Also, don't use sugar, use mango puree.

Again, you're being disingenuous, because nobody in common parlance would ever refer to those two as 'African' outside of the notion that it subverts what one would expect to be labeled an 'African'. I did not choose for racial identities to be conflated with geographic locations. They simply exist and work well enough in language that everyone knows what they're talking about.

the point is that you want full fat coconut milk, coconut cream has even more, so yeah that's fine too. aroy-d is the defacto brand for a famous thai restaurant in LA and if its good enough for them its good enough for me. also your the retard.

Restaurant quality butter chicken is incredibly easy to make.

Base: Ghee or butter, saute a ratio of 1:1 red onions and tomatoes, couple cloves of garlic, thumb-sized piece of ginger. Add some water or chicken stock if it starts getting dry.

Spices: Salt, little sugar to balance the tomatoes, ground coriander and cumin, turmeric, chili(not american chili powder but Indian deggi mirch or kashimri chili powder, cayenne is ok), indian bay leaves, indian fresh curry leaves, green and black cardamom (sparingly on the black cardamom), and THE MOST IMPORTANT SPICE WITHOUT IT, THE FLAVOR WILL NOT BE THE SAME --- Dried Fenugreek Leaves known as Kasoori Methi (put a shit ton of this at the beginning and end), also some MDH butter chicken masala spice doesn't hurt but isn't a must.

Richness: Heavy cream Or ground unroasted cashews. Add this after the sauce above has been blended and strained.


Protein: Marinade in yogurt&lemon for one day and above spices. All the spices must be ground. Make sure you put enough salt. Best if grilled, but pan-fried or baked will work.


Blend the sauce as much as possible, strain through fine mesh, add your richness, add your protein, check for seasoning - some more fresh curry leaves, spices, salt&sugar can be added at this point.

Forgot to add. If you can't grill your chicken, then a trick is get a nice char on the onions to add the same flavor. Just put a whole onion, skin and all, wash it first, on the burner until black all over. Then peel it, and saute with the tomatoes.

Tomatoes can also be charred the same way.

also make your own ghee, that shit is like 10$ for a small jar at the store for some reason. You basically get half the yield from solid butter, way cheaper.

I've been drying my own ginger lately, just pulled a bunch of rhizomes out of some salt as a test, let them sit for about 6 months buried in the kosher. Delicious and slightly fermented.

Holy fuck, this finally cracked the code. Thank you to whoever posted this. I actually used his second curry base recipe, not the one linked, and made his chicken korma with it. I'd probably cut back on the sugar/honey next time, but holy fuck it tasted just like it came from a restaurant. Absolutely delicious.

Do you want a western curry or do you want a North Indian curry?
To make northern style curries better (and more authentic, afaik) there's quite a few things that aren't always told. Use plenty of ghee as your fat. Cook your (red) onions for a long time on low heat, almost as if for onion soup. Use cuts of meat that add more flavour to the curry i.e lamb/mutton suitable for stew or chicken thigh rather than breast. Don't go overboard with the tumeric. Use greek yogurt rather than cream. Reduce the sauce/gravy. Add dried fenugreek at the end or some coriander. Don't be afraid to add salt.

A lot of the curries we eat these days were formerly only accessible to the rich or nobility so being extravagant with the meat/fat/salt/flavour is okay. Most people ate pulses, vegetables and roti/rice depending on where they lived. In the villages many people still eat like that.
