I had my own personal reservations about Ryan taking over for the majority of cooking reservations. Not because he isn't a good host, I just came to the channel due in large part to John's approach. This episode convinced me that it was a good move to have Ryan take the lead in the cooking content. He's a natural host and has really come into his own with his own distinct voice and approach. Glad to be proven wrong.

Hey brother, really appreciate the content. This curry appears to be more Madras than Punjabi, if you will, which makes sense to me given the time period. Punjabi curry chicken dishes (northwest India) would typically involve more spices and a thicker gravy (masala). In southern India (I say Madras because off the top of my head that is where the British were based at the time) the chicken curries tend to be little less spicy (equally picante, however) and watery (because they eat it with rice, whereas in Punjab tandoori naan is more popular). I think dairy cream might be a bit of a substitution, maybe not. I can easily imagine the cream in the base recipe to be coconut milk, pushing the dish towards what most Americans expect from Thai cuisine (which shares history with southern India). Thai might incorporate basil, whereas in India cilantro (coriander, dhania) is the norm. Thanks for your work.
@angelad.89442 жыл бұрын
I agree about the coconut milk. I am thinking that while spices where available, it could be coconut wasn't, so people just used cream because that is what they had. When he poured it out I thought of Thai curry right away. My preference is cilantro but I love it so to each his own. I can see how this kind of meal would really be a treat for anyone longing for adventure back then.
@EphemeralTao2 жыл бұрын
Madras cooking would most likely have used coconut milk, although not nearly as much as the cream in this recipe. Fresh cream woudl have been highly uncommon; and in traditional Indian cuisine would have been a sour yoghurt called _dahi_ . The British Raj actually moved around considerably throughout the year, retreating to the cooler northern regions during the summer, and returning south in the winter.

So Cletus it is actually supposed to be that thin and watery? I was wondering if they just used too much water.
@cletushatfield88172 жыл бұрын
@@ThirdEngr You see varying degrees of viscosity all over India. I've noticed that by and large when a curry is to be served with rice it will be more watery than a curry to be served with naan or some other bread. This is definitely not a hard and fast rule though. Khorode, for example, a curry from mutton shank/hock, has always been watery in my experience, but probably because it's understood that the broth has special medicinal properties and is a drink/soup. I've only seen it with roti/naan. The chicken curry in the video was something I wouldn't be surprised by in the south of India, but would be disappointed by if in the northwest. Indians in the northeast or east also prefer rice, generally, and the curries can be more watery. That said, plenty of watery curries in Rajastan an Gujurat. Basically, in India there is only one rule: there are no rules.

This seems like its halfway between a fancy shahi mughlai curry and the sort of curry that commoners and peasants would have made, probably during the harvest season if the crop yields were especially good. I'm from Bengal. Our curries are milder than the ones you'd find in a northern, or southern household. In place of cream or coconut milk, we use yogurt to ease the heat from the spices. Instead of adding it to the curry after, we just mix yogurt with the other ingredients of the marinade. Copious amounts of garlic is used along with the onions, turmeric, cumin, coriander and ginger. I don't think, eighteenth century Indians had any access to chillies. Black pepper from the South would have been worth its weight in gold. So, back then, curries in this part of the country wouldn't have had the modest amount of chillies and pepper that we use nowadays. What would probably be the same is the type of oil used for frying. Mustard oil in Eastern India, coconut or sesami seed oil in the south and either Mustard oil or clarified butter in the North. I am not sure if cinnamon and cardamom would be as prevalent in use as it is today, but the inclusion of bay leaves would have been rare outside of aristocrat or Royal kitchens.

It does look like Japanese curry. But, Japanese curry is thickened with a roux and does not traditionally contain cream. A Japanese curry usually has a minor sweet element in it, which can be a stewed apple, in addition to the sweetness from the caramelized onion. Coconut oil also imparts a slight sweetness that butter or ghee lacks. As another commenter states, the Japanese were introduced to curry by the British. Japanese curry is a variation on British curry, which is less complicated than Indian curry and lacks most of the exotic spices that are used in Indian cooking.

Now because we have households where everybody works, you don't really have the time to be adventurous, you just need to eat and prepare for your next day of work basically.

Of course pepper was extremely valuable during the Roman period during that time it was worth more than it's weight in gold in some places. But during the medieval period spices were becoming common and overly spiced food would become a sign of spoilage in houses or even a status flex. But during this period Spices were expected in every house. During the 17th and 18th century, Tea, Coffee, Tobacco, and Cotton were the more luxurious trade items of the day.

This is a recipe that actually got spicier and more accurate in later editions of Glasse's book - in the first through third edition, this only called for black pepper and coriander, which obviously makes for a very weaksauce 'curry'. By the fourth edition it had added the tumeric, ginger, cream, and lemon. You could spice this up in a lot of ways to make it more Indian - this really could also use some dunia (aka coriander), just be aware a little goes a long way. You can also use curry leaf, garlic, fenugreek, fennel, mustard seeds, cinnamon - it really all depends what part of India you're talking about. However, it does get one thing very right - gotta have butter and cream! Of course there are tons of very different 'curries' (curry just means 'sauce'), not all of which have butter, but for this type the butter and cream is definitely called for.

They make a roux of butter and flour and thicken what's basically what you just made. There are thousands of Indian curries and I believe prior to the arrival of the Portuguese no chilli powder used. Keep up the good work!

This is an interesting recipe. As someone who's Indian-American, it's neat to see that Indian food was beginning to be a thing in the West way back in Hannah Glasse's time, even if it's just a little bit of exposure compared to how much the cuisine would grow in modern times. As for how authentic the recipe seems, I can certainly see how the flavors there are based on food from India. I guess the cream might have been a substitute for yogurt, perhaps if yogurt wasn't commonly found in England back then. If I saw this recipe today, I would expect a brothy curry like this to include tomatoes, though I couldn't tell you whether tomatoes would've been found in India back then. And, of course, an Indian curry would have more spices - it's all about how the spices blend together - but just turmeric and ginger would do quite well for the flavor. Those 18th-century home cooks were eating good.

Seems like that might be a combo of curry and Sauce Madame, which is more about the chicken stock and lemon. I swear I could smell it through my screen. You're making me hungry.

You should try finding cooking mughal food from the mughal empire from pre British India. U can make curry as a mix of chili powder and coriander powder, the readymade curry powder is yellow. In order to get that redness you need to have at least 50% of chili powder.
@simonh63712 жыл бұрын
There are thousands of curry powders and masalas, varying in colour from yellow (having a lot of turmeric) through reds (principally from paprika and/or chilli) to brown (principally from coriander/cumin). But those aren't the only ingredients, for example dried mango powder gives it an orange hue too. Curry powder/masala generally contains minimum 12 spices. They vary depending on the country/continent they are from where they were introduced by diasporan Indians e.g. South Africa, UK, the Caribbean, Suriname. Just had a Surinamese chicken curry with roti this evening, I buy the powder when I go to the Netherlands as it's pretty much impossible to recreate the exact same taste, even though I can buy all the component spices here in London.

THANKS for another fine presentation! Modern American curry recipes use a more complex blend of spices (Maharaja Brand curry powder) and use more things like apple and celery. This simple recipe probably came back with someone from service in the British East India Company.

The pepper and cream are very English, and the onion, ginger, turmeric, and lemon are very Indian. It looks like a fine English-Indian curry, understated and flavourful. To make it more Indian without changing much - saute the onion and ginger together and longer till more mushy, then add the chicken. When the chicken is a bit done, add the spices and keep dry-stirring it. Later add the liquid - 1/2 quantity- so it will become thicker. Add the cream and lemon, sticking to a thicker gravy. The Indian version is over-sauteed and with a thicker gravy.

Thanks, I heard and i do think it's true, that toasting the spices in a fat brings out more of the flavor. I bought duck fat to replace meats in certain meals. Also, some chili flakes in the spagetti water makes the noodles have a bite.

"Each individual person probably lives in close enough proximity, in the US, to find good Indian food, or at least, Indian food." If only. The nearest Indian restaurant is 90 miles from here, 2 hours away. I know that there are places out west that look at that kind of distance as right next door, and they have my sympathy, but that lack of interesting ethnic food (especially Indian...) is what I miss most living in northern Michigan.

I've made Hannah's original "curry chicken the Indian way," which did not have ginger or turmeric in it, but roasted coriander and black pepper. It was very good, although did not resemble an actual Indian curry! but you can tell she's just started to experiment with these flavors. It's fun to see how her receipt evolves over the years to end up more like an authentic curry.

I love this curry as we tried it yesterday. Only adjusted the recipe with addition of cayennepepper in the spice mix and coconut milk (as we had no cream). The flavours that developed were fantastic. Great show by Ryan too, and it was easy to follow along.

He's so right when he says he'd like to have an Indian recipe from that time but just can't find one. Cause with modern Indian cooking, the difference between instructional videos made for indians and the ones made for westerners is so huge, like after following the butter chicken recipes from Your Food Lab and Chef Ashok I see how many steps and ingredients are missing and how bland the videos aimed at westerners are. This curry looks pretty good, like I'd be curious to try it at least once.

Yeah, the officials of the British Raj brought a lot of food back to the UK; but changed it considerably. What most westerners know as "Indian" cuisine was actually developed in Britain, adapted to British tasted (less complex spices, more fresh dairy; especially well-known western favorites like chicken tikka masala, which is very much a British curry instead of an Indian one.
