Guest guest Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Is there a type of curry powder that does not have the odor after consuming? Being next to someone who has consumed it is not very pleasant---perhaps if it is blended in a certain way?? From: arak331 <arak331@...> Sent: Tue, December 14, 2010 5:17:36 PMSubject: Re: Curry recipes? Dr Oz recently had on his show the topic "food as medicine" and ayurveda. There was a recipe for making your own curry powder, and since I couldn't find the ingredients locally, I ordered them online. His guest, Dr Chaudhary, recommended keeping it on the table and sprinkling it on foods as a condiment, much like salt and pepper. I'm looking forward to trying it.Namaste,em / TNPS - from Dr Oz http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/curry-powder-mix --- In , "Sunshine" <lightlady27@...> wrote:>> Thank you for the good suggestions Joyce, I had never tried real curry powder, only the supermarket kind and never liked it much.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 This is very interesting. I didn't even know that it came in a form other than the paste you can buy at the store.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I can get all of the ingredients for a good curry at my local health food store, but I mostly use veggies I have dehydrated from my garden. Fenugreek seed is one of the main components of curry, but is lovely and mild. I blend up the seeds with some dehydrated green, yellow, and red peppers, herbs, sea salt, and a bit of nutmeg and garam masala-not traditional curry, but I deal with allergies, so its as close as I can get. You can add onions, garlic, or other veggies and herbs to your desired taste. Buzz it all up in the Vitamix for a lovely seasoning-add a bit of coconut milk to some for a quick curry sauce. Fenugreek seeds are also lovely sprouted!__ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I do quite a lot of Indian cooking. If anyone would like any recipes just let me know. Actually I just bought a pretty masala dabba. You could use this for any selection of spices. Since indian flavors use a fair amount of spices these are very useful. By the way Indian food is very spiced but not hot. I do make some hot dishes though.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Lori, I just thought I would jump in and let you know you can buy clay "ovens" on ebay. I used to collect them, but found that the clays used to make them often contain high levels of lead and other toxic metals, so I got rid of mine. You can roast the veggies just fine in any other vessel, or even just drizzled with olive oil and roasted in foil. I like to slow roast mine in my solar oven, letting the sunshine bring out the flavors by slowly carmelizing the veggies. Here is a link to some clay ovens selling on ebay, just so you have an idea. I did pretty extensive research on the lead issue, and it was enough to make me quit using them. They do impart an earthy, lovely flavor to things, but that must mean they also impart whatever is in the clay. Solar cooking is the way to go for me.http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40 & _trksid=p5197.m570.l1313 & _nkw=clay+oven & _sacat=See-All-Categories--- On Wed, 12/15/10, Lori Ann <dimplesnwinks@...> wrote:From: Lori Ann <dimplesnwinks@...>Subject: Re: Curry recipes?

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Is rinsing 2X/day too much: http://www.sproutamo.com/ ? These are BRILLIANT. Re: Curry recipes? I have given up sprouting, had too much trouble with things going moldy. It's pretty warm here most of the time I guess, even rinsing 3 times a day it was not worth the aggravation. Maybe one day I will try again. I loved making Essene bread and crackers. Thanks for all the tips.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I use my Romertopf pot all the time. I make Provençal chicken frequently, not to mention stews and the like. I even baked a great loaf of bread in it. The famous No Knead Bread. It's a great pot. I love the results I get with it.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Romertopf rated high in lead, which really bummed me out since I had a lovely collection of sizes of them. The cloche and some that I brought over from England were high in lead too. One of them from Switzerland had a high level of a metal I had never heard of, until it turned up in a blood test I had, and I was able to trace it to the vessel. Scary the crap they put in our cookware! Had to part with all of my cool stoneware because of the metals, my non sticks because of the teflon, and my stainless because of the nickle! Bahhhhh.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 I will look for the info, Lori. It has been quite a few years ago that I researched it. I know that many companies have released newer pots that advertise "no ADDED lead", which does NOT mean there is NO lead-just that they didn't add any more than what was already in the clay to start with. I probably would not ever have been concerned with this if a heavy metal hadn't shown up in my blood work, and the only place it could be traced to was my stoneware. I will let you know if I can find the older articles I did my research with. A Professor at a University in England was able to confirm a lot of my information, and I will see if I still have his contact info. Hey, ,Thanks for the info.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 From what I have been looking at today, it seems many of the newer pots are safer than the older versions. I would be VERY careful of pots manufactured in China though. I had a wonderful Vitaclay slow cooker that I paid a fortune for, and I had to toss it too. It was actually THAT pot that started me thinking there was a problem, since I got sick every time I cooked in it, and was left with an odd, metallic aftertaste in whatever I cooked in it. Where the clay is mined would be of great importance to me-I wouldn't want clay that came from around a nuclear plant, for example...for obvious reasons. Anything from other countries would be questionable, since there are little or no regulations. Hey, ,Thanks for the info.
