13 hours ago, KennethT said:I've never heard of pressure cooking the curry base so I'm very curious about it. How do you think it compares with being simmered traditionally? Most videos I watch making Indian curries (from India) don't cook the curry base very long - probably around the same time as your pressure cooking it. Do you think the result is superior? If so, in what way?
Well, I started using the pressure cooker for lamb curries, since those can take forever if you don't use expensive cuts (and I don't). Then I've applied it to all other curries.
Why? I find that the curry base / gravy cooked under pressure has a thicker consistency and all flavors blend together really well. There will be no chunks left. I know I could use a blender, but that would be one more thing to wash at the end. Also, a pressure cooker is set and forget. 25 minutes on the stove and you will have predictably good results, without having to watch the pan.
Cheers! 🙂
