I spent $50 on spices to make butter chicken. Probably the tastiest thing I've ever cooked.
>>22211202what spices?
>>22211205Garam masala, Kashmiri chili powder, kasuri methi, turmeric, cumin, coriander powder, garlic, ginger.
>>22211210Where the fuck do you live? All that that shit is 25$ max. And the spices are enough for 20 meals
>>22211236I got bulk sizes for most of them. I'm going to be eating a lot of butter chicken in the next year.
>>22211246Are you...
>>22211275he is..
>>22211280Gross
>>22211246Make sure you do or you will have a lot of shitty bland spices in your cabinet in one year
>>22211275You can see my hand in the pic, sir. I assure you very very white sir, very good.
>>22211202i already ate it
>>22211310Post pic of your shit then.
>>22211202Chili from a gringo.
I'm terrible at cooking, though I wish I could cook, which is why I come here sometimes. Not including just seasoning chicken wings or things like that, the last thing I actually tried to cook was a vegetable soup, it came out thin and tasteless. That was about a whole year ago. >>22211202Looks delicious, I love butter chicken.>>22211314I've never had chilli but I would try this.
>>22211353Thanks for the compliment on my chili. I used to be like you or not able to cook, but practice makes perfect. Highly recommend analyzing videos like myself and create your own.
>>22211202You Americans and your 'Butter Chicken' . . REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIf my hair was longer, I would be tearing it out in clumps, it's clear you have no idea what real Butter Chicken is.Your spices are just generic spices but you are missing so many ingredients. I have made decent butter chicken on a few occasions and it can get rather expensive, so I don't make it that much. I can clearly see you never cooked using Ghee . . .where is the Butter? . . . . where is the Cream/Yoghurt . . . no powdered almonds? Your sauce is too thin and it's a weird colour. It's nice you try these things anon but for heavens sake, don't think for one minute that Americans know how to do this.
>>22211422It's not "butter chicken" it's "buddurr chicken"
>>22211426And by doing it badly and missing important ingredients, they impwoved it?
>>22211431They probably think so. Is there ever any other way.
>>22211422>I can clearly see you never cooked using GheeI did use ghee.>where is the Butter?I threw in a fat knob of butter at the end of cooking the chicken.>where is the Cream/YoghurtThe chicken was marinated in yogurt, and there is cream in the gravy.>no powdered almonds?I used cashews.>Your sauce is too thin and it's a weird colour.I guess that's subjective, it was pretty similar to what I've had in Indian restaurants.>It's nice you try these things anon but for heavens sake, don't think for one minute that Americans know how to do this.I don't know why you're making this some weird national insecurity thing little bro. I found a recipe online and the author was a jeet lady. The measurements were metric so I don't think she is even American.
>>22211445Things that are untrue and never happened.Who are you trying to fool?
>>22211452Alright man. Have a nice evening.
Biscoff cupcakes I made yesterday>>22211202$50 is absurd but it looks super good.... was it worth it
>>22211457The only Indian restaurant in my town charges $18 for a tiny bowl of this stuff, and now I can make it at least a dozen more times for the price of the chicken, yogurt, and ghee/butter, so yeah, I'd say it was worth it. I just have to make it a lot before the spices lose their potency. But I don't think that will be an issue. I love butter chicken.
>>22211469Also your cupcakes look lovely anon.
This morning
No pictures but mul-naengmyeon with myeongtae-hwe had with gamja-jorim, sigeumchi-namul and oimuchim as sides. (cold radish-water buckwheat noodle soup with fermented pollock in chilli paste dressing, soy-caramel braised potato, spinach salad and marinated cucumber)
>>22211210>>22211246Buying bulk from an Indian store is the way to go. Those faggy little schwarz/mccormic containers are very overpriced. >Garlic and ginger Freeze root ginger if you don't already. You can microplane it straight from the freezer for most uses and it lasts forever. I don't even peel it.
>>22211512Yeah I'll have to check it out. I'm kinda nervous to go into ethnic stores as a white boy. I know they probably won't judge me and will be happy to take my money. But it still kinda weirds me out for some reason.
>>22211512>Buying bulk from an Indian store is the way to go. Those faggy little schwarz/mccormic containers are very overpriced. But then you're locked in to using those spices.Yes you pay more per unit with those little bottles, but you're probably spending less overall.
>>22211210>kasuri methiThis works really well with butter and cream sauces (like your butter chicken).One of my favourite uses for this spice is to make a side dish of green peas with kasuri methi and butter/cream sauce - for a recipe look up "Methi Muttar Malai"
>>22211669That looks good, I'll check it out. Say what you will about jeets, they do have some tasty grub.

>>22211734Oh hello
im making zuppa toscana right now, i have the worst sinus infection ever and need creamy soups
>>22211744One of my favorite soups, I hope you feel better soon!
>>22211202Thinkin bout that bean
>>22211771>mom i posted it again!
>>22211768ty anon, zuppa and pho are my soups for healing. very different processes but similar result (for me)
>>22211738BMW key anon, welcome back! Good to see you posting your own food instead of just shitting on everyone else.
>>22211202looks extra sloppy. good job
>>22211202Peanut butter noodles w garlic and chili crunch (also includes soy sauce, rice vinegar and sesame oil) Cheap easy dinner
>>22211275>>22211280Indians don't eat butter chicken.
>>22211457Looks dangerous, I will need to dispose of it immediately (into my mouth)
I had this ground chicken and I always keep some pita in my freezer for splurging days so I just mixed the chicken with a premade spice mix and pressed it in the tortilla before putting it in the air fryer for 10 minutes or so and it's one of the best things I've made. Salad (parsley chillies tomato onion) goes on top. Not pictured, garlic yogurt and salad juices sauce
>>22211995looks like a cat vomited some worms.
>>22211995I keep forgetting about savory peanut sauce, you make it seem uncomplicated to put together so I’ll have to get my act together and prepare some
>>22211353>the last thing I actually tried to cook was a vegetable soup, it came out thin and tasteless.add meat and meat juice
>>22211422amazed this isnt copypasta
>>22212931>amazed this isnt copypastaIt's not.I was just having a meltdown moment.
I did brown it a bit after that pic uncovered but I didn't take a picture after.
>>22213134Are you Italian?My dad used to make chicken n taters like this, but in a glass dish and with smaller bits of chickenLookes v. Yummy!
>>22213134Not sure what to make of this.It looks like Lamb but the spuds look a little sad.
>>22213148>>22213154Its lamb, the potatoes were very bad, my usual guy didnt have potatoes so i bought em from another place
>>22213167Lamb is my favourite meat and I don't care what anybody says, chewing lamb fat is great. I'm a Brit but your Lamb doesn't look British, we don't usually French trim the bone, so I am guessing southern europe?
>>22211577>But then you're locked in to using those spicesYou can use cumin, coriander, and red chili for lots of things. The whole spices last for years, and the "ground spices go bad quick" thing is overstated. I think I got packets of whole cardamom, nutmeg, cumin, and clove from an Indian store like 5 years ago and am only just on the verge of running out. >>22211540Just watch out for the fresh produce, they do tend to stock out of date stuff. Less gross Asian stores like Hmart also have a decent Indian spice section.
>>22213196I've bought spices from asian places before, they don't 'go bad' as such, they just lose their potency and flavour.
>>22213194I love lamb and the fat, I also made soup and that fat you see in the pan, i took some of it and made rice. Yes i'm sort of in southeast europe, that how the butcher gave it to mee and it contracted a bit from the cooking, i cooked it for 4 hours on 150C
>>22213196>Just watch out for the fresh produce, they do tend to stock out of date stuff.on the contrary I've found that the produce at smaller independent asian stores is much fresher. probably because asian housewives go through hundreds of pounds of fresh produce every week somehow. meanwhile every bunch of cilantro at the groger is slimy
>>22213167I need to find a good potato guy, seems like the ones from the store here have been awful for yearsPic semi related - waffle iron hashbrowns
>>22213428>waffle iron hashbrownsthats a great idea, bet it was crispy
>>22213148There’s a spacing beyond ‘reddit’?

Poached eggs on Vegemite toast with a banana, linseed and pomegranate molasses smoothie.
>>22211210>tumeric, cumin, garlic, gingerthese cost nothing>garam masala, corianderthese could be a little more expensive depending what you have access to>Kashmiri chili powder, kasuri methinever heard of these my guess is this is were you got ripped off
>>22213464This anon is a liar and I have caught him out. He never made 'Butter Chicken' but in his mind it was real.
>>22212126>I always keep some pita in my freezer for splurging daysWhat does that even mean?Food looks good.
>>22213483i have made butter chicken before, maybe not the most authentic version i just wanted an alternative to thai curry
>>22213464Have you considered that spices are just really fucking expensive now?
>>22213509try ethnic markets they are usually cheaper
>>22211202Made a lazy pizza on tortillas with the leftovers.
>>22213719Would desuThe cheese looks good
> Roasted chicken, gravy from the drippings> green beans in butter and a dash of balsamic vinegar> orzo made in sun dried tomato reduction, added cream after because i made it too spicy for me on accident
>>22213723Yeah it's pretty damn good. I'll try it with homemade pizza dough next for sure.
>>22211210Did you bob your head when you paid the cashier? If not remember this for next time
this is the last thing I cooked that I took a pitcher of
>>22213463Masterful poaching, I kneel
>>22213786as somebody who sucks hose water when it comes to poaching eggs I have seen this method of steaming them meme'd and I am purchasing a tea strainer so I can try it out myself. the trick is to make sure the water is boiling before you put the egg in otherwise it'll slow seep through, but as long as there's hot steam it'll start cooking and seal itself up right away
>>22213787Just add a bit of vinegar and slowly drop the egg into the water. No need for extra dishes.
>>22213852I've tried this about 3 times and they fall apart and I fuck them up entirely. I just fucking suck at it
>>22211202I also made a butter chicken but I used the jar sauce. It's bland as fuck so I add butter, garlic, ginger, salt, onion, paprika, bay leaves (they do something) dried chillis, and cumin. not exactly restaurant style but it's comÆ’y food
>>22211210Rana spices from Amazon? They make great stuff. I use their Kashmiri chili instead of cayenne
>>22211474If you handed me that loaf it would be Gone in 60 Seconds
>>22214035roux is way too thin and there are too many chunks.
>>22213852>extra dishes.you need something to take the egg out of the water anyway. the net dish number does not change.
>>22213779absolutely beautiful
>>22214096even of one of the net dishes is literally a net dish :3
sad looking butter chickens in hereguess you guys do need Indians such as me because obviously even with the recipes you arent capable jai hind
>>22214096ahh true aye

>>22214177damn was hoping that was a tuna melt.
>>22214177nice teapot
>>22211210some jew made a recipe for a faggot like you that wants to go by the rules to throw money on spices. cry more goy
>>22214260Take your meds.
:(
>>22214293why the long smiley anon
i like beans and sausig
>>22213486>Food looks good.ThanksIt means I don't usually eat bread or fatty meats (you should see the pool of fat that accumulates) but if I want to eat like a fatass I like pitas and wraps a lot
>>22211202>>22211210Should try to make your own garam masala next time if you already bought bulk spices, although if you also got bulk garam masala then I guess not. Don't have to stick to butter chicken though, Indian food is diverse enough to enjoy their spices in many things. Make some bbq with it, use it in other stews, mediterranean or levant stuffI made some cookies. The thickness is roughly 1/2" so sorta thick compared to a 1cm cookie, something like 3-3.5" diameter. Very soft, fluffy, moist, and chewy (not raw-chewy either) but not really cakey so quite good imo. Might try out one or two more things next but will move onto choc chip in the cookie future.

>>22215600Ha. I don't hate him, but I think he must be a sniffhead.
>>22211512I honestly never thought about freezing ginger. I normally buy powdered ginger in bulk from spice way. But always having fresh on hand is way better . Thanks for the tip anon.

Uzbekistani PlovTasted good but only 1 garlic clove should be enough next time
>>22216615>Uzbekistani PlovI would like to give it a go.No - I'm not an American tastelet and not quite as shallow as them but from Western Europe and willing to try new stuff. Having said this, you might have to convince me about the ingredients, it does look a little bland.
>>22215600If my wife were Indian, do you think I would need to buy every single spice to make a dish that Indians don't even eat? Use your brain, moran.
>>22211995how the fuck did you plate sticky ass peanut noodles that cleanly
>>22216680I made it after watching a few YouTube shorts, it's basically a rice pilaf with carrots and lamb. I've seen other people use beans, onions and I think tomatoes? The gimmick is that having a whole garlic clove on top is supposed to aromatic the whole dish (it does) but it's traditionally made in big pots to feed multiple steppe villagers, so a little does a lot.
>>22213726gimme dat chicken and gravy yum
Beef bowlNo pics cus I ate it.
>>22211202I didn't bother taking a picture of it but I'll describe it.The only food item I have left in my house is a box of instant potatoes. I put some salt, pepper, garlic powder a little bit of ranch and a dash of Worcestershire sauce in it. If I close my eyes its almost like I'm eating steak and a baked potato.
>>22217273>The only food item I have left in my house is a box of instant potatoesWhy?
>>22215114They look so tender and delicious
>>22217280I ate the rest of it I'm guessing.
Truffade with bacon. French potato slop that looks like slop but tastes amazing.
>>22215114Those look great, i really don’t like the cakey cookie trend
>>22216615I bet if you had roasted that head of garlic by itself and added it in it would be better
>>22215632i try to be. cheers
>>22217361I'd eat the slop. Does it need something more wet like a sauce or is it already fine?
>>22211422You put a lot of effort into this. It must have taken every bit of energy you had to tear yourself away from the window of your counsel flat where you had been furiously masterbating to the sight of the 12 year old chav girls outside to deliver such a succinct criticism.

>>22221670>kebab sauce as dressingsmart, i should just do a falafel bowl instead of just a wrap or sandwich
>>22221683do it
>>22219326Awesome brekkie, catch any fish?>>22222011Do you ferment the cabbage yourself?
>>22222864This one no, it's too early and hot in my country but every year at the beginning of November I do about 30kg along with other veggies like carrots, cucumbers, cauliflower, celeriac. I'm saying it's too hot because the Balkan method is fermenting them slowly in cold weather and keeping them cold so they stay crispy and "fresh" during winter - I keep em on my balcony.
>>22219002Nice
I have never been to the USA so I made Louisiana Shrimp Étoufée from a recipe book.
>>22223697looks good although next time make dirty rice as the side, and when you do make the dirty rice crumble up some andouille sausage (if available) into it for maximum dirty
>>22222864>catch any fish? Nah they weren't biting
>>22223697That looks very good. Recipe?
>>22223771I didn't have shrimp shells so I put in powdered shrimp from an Asian supermarket. Also I browned the flour in the oven. I found that was too much flour compared to the rest of the ingredients.
>>22223742They don't have andouille sausage in the uk, sadly.
>>22223891grim
>>22212025This. Butter chicken, chicken tikka masala and chicken korma are certified white people curries.

I Made an indian pork curry yesterday. I needed to use the pork, but I there wasnt much so I added some chickpeas too. Ill be eating it for the rest of the week. Anyone want some?
>>22224573>. Anyone want some?Depends how it tastes.It does look a bit flat to me, don't know why but it just does.And why don't you get some of those cheap plastic containers and save portions in the freezer? saves you eating the same thing every night just because you made a large amount.
>>22224573would

>>22224824>4 mins on medium high both sides>undercookedhow, I cook mine for 4-5 mins as well on a lower heat
>>22224825Thicker fillets?My entire fillet (one side of the fish) was 330g with the ice glaze.Crust was nice and golden, middle felt a bit undercooked. Maybe basa tastes like that? It was my first time cooking fish.
>>22224826My bad, I thought I read Bass as in Sea Bass. I've never had catfish desu, next time just cook it 2 mins more, seems like you were just at the cusp of cooking it how you like it.

>>22227375Gosh anon those are so cute. What's the frosting? Sometimes they're creamy and light and sometimes they're thick and sugary. I love both so they look good to me either way. Vanilla cake I assume?
>>22227426Thank u!! Its just a plain vanilla buttercream, but I whip mine for extra long so its quite light & airy while still being super sweet, & yes its vanilla cake!
>>22211202Curry and rice, I haven't made curry in a good while.but by curry I mean litterly just dropping the curry block in water and mixing it in rather than actually cooking anything into the curry, maybe next week I will get some meat and make real curry again for the first time in a while
>>22227486Aw man those 'cakes look great. I don't suppose you have a Halloween version up your sleeves? It is Halloweentimes afterall
