As a Malaysian, let me give you a better tip about that rendang. You had the right idea about adding toasted coconut flakes, but what's better is if you grind the toasted coconut flakes until the oil comes out and it becomes almost the consistency of peanut butter. We call it kerisik, and about 5 tbsp of it in your pot of rendang before you slow-cook it will elevate it to a whole 'nother level.

@@LetoZeth My favourite carrot dish for rice during lunch, Grate 3 large peeled carrots on a box grater, Heat up a wok or saucepan, add 1-1.5 Tblsp of Olive Oil, After oil heatup add mustard seeds and let them pop. Add your grated carrots and light salt them to draw out the moisture. Stir it around let it cook for 4-5 min on low heat with lid on. then take out the lid and let the water evaporate on low heat for 2-3 min. During that time in grinder/blender blend 2-3 tblsp of dry coconut flakes and 1-2 green chilli. put the coconut+chili mix into the cooked carrot and stir to mix and cook for another 2 mins or more if you want to caramelise it a bit. it soo good.

Wee tip from someone who owned a Thai food take-away: cook the coconut milk, on its own, for about 6-7 mins, until it smells great, then add the paste. Stir. Take your time, don't blast it. Add palm sugar; break up into small pieces, and a splash of fish sauce if you made the paste, but not if it's store-bought. Add chicken. Stir. Kaffir lime leaves. Stir. After 15 mins or so, knock the heat right down so it simmers. Add the fresh basil leaves right at the end. Don't cook them, in other words. Serve hot as opposed to scorching.

Legit! The fish sauce is that magic ingredient.

Pro tip for the chickpeas if you're using soaked raw ones: do NOT use the water they were soaked at and rinse them. The water contains now a lot of phytic acid which was previously in the chickpeas which prevents from absorbing the nutrients and make you bloated.

@Bozebo

9 ай бұрын

I think they should've used a lot more water too. As an aside from that, the cooking water is fine to use if the original soaking water (enough of it) was replaced with fresh before cooking; this should count for all canned chickpeas too as the canning liquid is the cooking water (except they're just a useless product in general IMHO). But unless you want the texture, you shouldn't use the water anyway.

Tip for Indian style "curries": cook down the tomatoes till the oil sperates! Don't just add the tomatoes and water all at once! If you want chunky tomatoes then reserve a little bit then add it towards the mid point of the cooking. You're losing flavor development if you don't cook down the tomatoes till the point of oil separation. Also, if you want to make the chickpea curry more substantial or thick, add in 2-3 chopped potatoes after cooking down the tomatoes. Then add in the chickpeas to roast before adding water. If you DON'T want potatoes, then just mash a little bit of chickpeas using the back of your spoon.

@andrewcooper7256

3 жыл бұрын

I do this all the time, I'll cook my curry for about 40 minutes, once the chick peas are tender enough and the curry is thick enough, I'll section off a quarter of the curry and mash everything else to creamy perfection. Give the quarter a few odd mashes to create even more textural diversity and drop the coconut milk. That way I don't cook out the coconut flavor. The milk quickly loses its flavor with heat, my only issue with this video's techniques.

I've been cooking curries for like....15 years. What are you even on about lol. If you're having trouble with oil from your tomatoes, you probably added WAY too much oil to begin with. My eggplant and potato curry is one of the most oily curries that most people make and there was no discernable layer of oil or anything like that. If you're cooking for long enough everything should combine and hold together relatively closely while hot.

@boomer1794

When I was learning to make curries at home, the one thing I had to learn the hard way with tomato curries is "don't add too much tomato" (relative to other ingredients). Tomato-based curries are amazing, but I've found that they're better every time when I use less tomato than my intuition tells me.

@DeekshaKoli

@@sanjayr it's not about having problems with the oil. If you've been cooking curries for 15 years you should know the person is talking about proper roasting of the masala/curry base. Uncooked tomatoes can taste really bad in curries and by "oil separation" they mean all water is evaporated, the curry base is properly cooked and it does come together like you said but with an oily/glossy sheen as it leaves the sides of the pan because most of the moisture is gone. That's all they meant.

I'm Indian, and these recipes look absolutely delicious Mike. You definitely nailed it with the technique of cooking it until you get that "oil separation" thing. That is pretty much the secret to all curries. A lot of beginners usually don't wait for all the moisture to evaporate and the meat/veggies to fry in the remaining fat. If you don't do that, it makes the curry quite bland, so it's quite important to have some patience. Keep up the great work! 😄

Loved the format of this video! A couple hot tips. :) 1) Bloom *all* of your indian spices. No need to add the curry powder later. :) 2) When cooking your chicken thighs, add them skin side down in a cold pan and then heat it up. No oil is necessary, the chicken fat will render and crisp the skin! 3) Like everyone said, caramelize dem tomatoes to richen the flavor!

Spices are better when fresh, so buy from a source with high turnover, and buy little and often. Store in a cool, dark, and dry place in airtight containers. Buy from ethnic stores to get the real deal at the best price. Whole Spices keep longer than ground. Buy a cheap bladed electric coffee grinder and keep it for only grinding dry whole spices. A Mexican mortar and pestle made of unpolished black basalt is traditionally used to make fresh salsa but is also great for grinding anything and making fresh curry and spice pastes, and fresh relishes by hand.

This is one of your best videos. I’m going to make all of these

My heart was crying as you scratched with the spoon in the Le Creuset. I've done this yesterday in my new one and damaged the bottom with scratches 😢

Wow. This is the best curry video I have seen! Thank you!

Excellent videos! So easy to follow!

Good stuff, Mike! If I ever make it, I’ll try to like the video again!

Wow. I tried the curry base. Wow!!! Sooooooogooooood! Great Video!!

I joined the video because the genuine drive for food is obvious but not pushy on subscribe bullshit. Guy just likes food and flavour. Subtle flavours meet subtle social cues. Rock on man. I’m following

I'm a Malaysian, we have traditional Rendang Malaysian style as well, very similar to your rendang but we use dried up coconut paste similar to your flakes (Malaysians call it "Kerisik"). It is especially cooked the night before our religions Raya celebration by the family which we Muslims celebrate with other religions with serving them to guests from all races and religions once a year after a month of fasting (falls on the Muslim calender year). We celebrate raya for a month as well, so a whole month or rendang served with packed rice or "ketupat" and more traditional dishes.. Just ought to share, proud to see u making Asian dishes. ❤ from Malaysia!

"did I just get in there with my curry spoon? come on" best part 😄

The tip with reducing coconut milk to rehydrate the curry paste is really nice, thanks for that!

thank you for the vid, i know its been 3 year. but i have a tip , fry the meat before you add the paste so you can develope some roast aromes (maillard reaction) to even get a deeper and rounder flavour. the asians cook the curry for houres if not days , but we dont do that this way so its a good method to add extra depth to the dish instead. just max heat on the meat and after 5 mins you add the paste or the watery ingrediends or spices you wanna roast. have a nice day and stay healthy

Hi, chef John!

🤣 As you where showing the prepped aromatics, i was thinking: "Dude, your onions are just lying there, not prepped at all. Gonna throw them in like that? Or forgot them?"

I subscribed to you a very long time ago... I loved your personality and style. Although the quality wasn't quite there.... but wow am I blown away by the quality of your videos now. Keep just being you :)

Love all your videos! I've already adopted some of your techniques but so much more to learn. Have a garden and makes cooking with them all the more exciting

Omg you made rendang 😭Rare to see someone making Malaysian stuff. It's definitely hard to find traditional ingredients in the US so it's cool you made a catch-all paste. Have you heard of laksa? Reminds me of curry flavors too but in soup form

Rendang is originally from Minangkabau region in West Sumatra, Indonesia. From there it spread across SEA.

I was experimenting with home THAI curry for years, it usually went out dull if i made it vegan( yes - meat adds incredible richness to it), or made it with less curry paste (to make it less spicy) or not added enough SUGAR (yes sugar is super important). Otherwise Thai basil is essential to finish everything off

Agree with you about adding sugar. I to have been experimenting at home for a long time but something always missing. Recently learned to add palm sugar and fish sauce and my curries have been transformed.

There's vegan "chicken" stock cubes that help a lot for this, or you can use a splash of vegan "fish" sauce, coconut aminos, Maggi seasoning. No dull-tasting vegan meal can ever be blamed on it being vegan. :)

Great recipes, thank you sir!

Loved all 3 of your curries especially the chickpea and Thai green curry since I am both Indian and Thai. We usually boil our soaked chickpeas in a pressure cooker before making the curry, now I know you do not have to that. Thanks for showing us an easy way to make curries!!

did you see that oil separation? THAT OIL SEPARATION OILLLL SEPERAATIOONNNNN

One suggestion for your rendang beef curry paste, there is another key ingredient called Lengkuas in Malay or Indonesian, which is Greater Galagal. By the way, you can make dry fried coconut (kerisik) to add that beautiful taste!

Yum! Thank you for that! Would definitely try it!

I had so much fun watching this and cooking along to this video. Sick kitchen setup man, and I love the pace of the recipes.

Man, I can just imagine how your kitchen smelled when you cooked this stuff! That’s what I love about cooking curries; the smell from cooking it is just as good as the flavor from eating it! Another thing I love about Asian curries, as you mentioned, is that it’s both healthy and delicious! Here in America, the best tasting food with the most flavor is fattening junk food, and healthy food is bland and boring. But in south and southeast Asia, the healthy and even light food is just as delicious and flavorful as the unhealthy stuff, if not more!

This was a fantastic intro to making curry at home. I rocked a Thai coconut curry with eggplant, zucchini, and chicken thigh. Amazing. Thank you! 🙌

I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! Am learning so much thanks 💃

Got to the Thai curry and toward the end you said it needing something and added lime juice, which is great but fish sauce where are the dashes of fish sauce? Next time. :)

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing, how long do you think your homemade curry paste could last in the cupboard or fridge? Thanks!

Thank you so much this is an awesome curry paste to start me of I have so many ideas already and i have been wanting to get into curry but I had no idea where to start thank you so much

As usual such a detailed and well researched video! I loveee having these on hand and makes weeknight so much easier!
