Do you like your curry pastes?

The Other day at  Coles, I saw these range of India curry pastes on sale so you know lah kan with me and sale ni, mana boleh di pisahkan, hehehe. So I bought 2 packets just to try them. I don’t normally buy Indian curry paste yang ready made ni sebab entahlah, selalu tak kena dengan tekak we all. I lagi suka beli kari Baba’s or Allagappas and then make the paste myself by adding a few extra ingredients to it.

Tadi The Other Half said he wanted to eat curry and rice for dinner. But I malas nak masak curry from scratch so I pun buat magic and took out these 2 packets of instant curry from the pantry, hahahaha. So I used its Tikka Masala paste that’s ‘mild’ to make chicken tikka for The Little Misses and I used its Rogan Josh paste that’s ‘medium’ to make beef rogan josh for us :-). I didn’t have to add anything at all apart from the beef and chicken and potatoes and they tasted really great! Terkejut jugak sebab selalunya I have to add and tweak a little bit to curry pastes to make them nice for us.

The Other Half siap bertambah 3 kali lagi tu so definitely sedap kan. He said, “buy some more of these if they are still on sale cos they are really good. Even I can cook delicious curry like this!” Muahahaha, boleh lah I retire from cooking curry macam ni kan :-).

Anyone in OZ or Perth yang nak try these brand of curries, they are called ‘Passage to India’ simmer sauces. The mild and medium sauces memang tak pedas lah but The Little Misses still complained kata their chicken tikka was quite hot, sampai minum air aje bergelas! Hikhikhik…

I should mintak royalty ni kan kat the company sebab promote thier products on my blog, hahahaha….

Our dinner tonite. Simple rice pilaf with acar (mesti ada kalau tak nak The Other Half merajuk, hehehehe), beef rogan josh, chicken tikka, ayam goreng and poppadom.

Masa duduk kat East coast dulu selalu juga beli ready made curry paste. Mmg sedap.Sejak duduk kat sini susah nak tengok dah, jadi guna ajelah Baba's.

Nampak sedap, tp kalo hubby you kata sedap. Semestinya sedap.

I made tandoori chicken yesterday.

Oh so Rogan Josh tu memang best la ya? OKlah. I buatlah malam ni. You see, one of our friends told us it is nice. So, I bought a bottle about three months ago. If you say so, Madam, I will try it shortly. BTW, I did try the Nachos for the Birthday Party. Thanks LG :-D It sure is nice!

FairyLilly said...

LG ni macam tau-tau je..memang ingat nak tanya guna brand apa, sekali u dah jadi promoter pulak hehehe...Bukan apa I kalu masak kari memang fail...ala2 pahit gitu coz hanya letak rempah babas tu je. Tak reti la nak letak bebahan lain, takde stok pun hahaha.Hamboi macam2 ado atas pinggan tuh...memang confirm mengancam pandangan. pulak tu cara letak lauk dalam mangkuk kecik2 tu for indian food memang disukai oleh juri masterchef :)

Mia's Mom,
Salam..
For us sedap lah sbb it's not too hot but full of spice :-).
Kat UK sure banyak kan all these instant curry pastes esp Patak's :-)

Blu4sky,

Afid,

Fairylily,

I tak tengok Masterchef tu, diaorang memang suka present mcm ni ye? Boleh lah I join lepas ni ye! hikhikhik :P

TTM,
Cepat2 pergi Coles sbb dia tgh sale until Wednesday ni. $2 aje you instead of the usual pirce of $4, hikhikhik..
Memang sgt sedap mcm dgn roti canai!

Sally,

Shiori,

Kak Ain,

Maryam Izza said...

kak Min

taktau lah mood masak i up n down skrg ni huhu...tak boleh ke naik menggunung je bersmngt waja kiki nama pun manusia haha
kalo dah kawen mana boleh mcm ni kan kak? tgk kak Min rajin je hehe

lemongrass said...

Maryam,
My hubby pun suka sgt2 kari ni tu yg tak boleh masak selalu2 sgt sbb nanti dia makan bertambah2, hahaha.
Jelatah tu lah yg paling senang nak buat sbb tu I lagi suka 'masak' tu dr masak sayur lain klu masak kari :-).
I ni bukannya rajin mana you tp I terpaksa masak so tu yg slalunya dinner I sgt2 lah simple and not too time consuming :-)

SJB aka SUELYN J-B. said...

My hubby memang suka sangat ni dengan curry tapi dia tidak makan tu ayam heheh. Dia makan ubi kentang dan sup curry tu saja. Tidak apa lah more chicken for me lah muahahah.

lemongrass said...

SJB,
Next time you can make vege curry lah ye so he can eat the whole thing :-). Tapi nanti, you pulak yang takde ayam nak makan, hehehe
