Hello All,


My Parents are coming to dinner on Saturday night and my girlfriend has begged me to make them one of my speciality curries.

My Dad worked in India in the 70's and sees himself as a bit of a connoisseur in Indian cuisine. Not a problem as he taught me how to cook a curry from scratch when I was in my teens. My Mother also enjoys Indian food and I want to impress her above dad and she has a keen eye for a fine wine so,


Can you recommend me a wine which will go well with a medium hot curry please.


Jacko.

Ok. Well I'd usually recommend either Evolution:

Or Tariquet:


http://www.greenandbluewines.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=37&category_id=4&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=19


Both currently in stock at Green & Blue on Lordship Lane.


I find I like quite a big wine to stand up to a curry and these are both quite full on, so if you don't like that style you might not agree. Have a look at both the write ups and see what you think. If you don't like the sound of that, then pop into Green & Blue and tell us your budget and what you do like, and we can recommend something else.


Please do note though that I'm one of the owners of G&B and so of course am recommending our wines. I'm sure there's lots of delicious ones out there. If you go elsewhere, I'd look for something heavier and full bodied to stand up to those flavours but not too creamy if you use lots of coconut milk.


Hope that helps!

Ground Coriander is often used in combination with Turmeric - the two spices are said to complement each other.


If you?d like to try it, add approx. one part Turmeric to every two parts Coriander (by volume).

Hi Hal9000,


Thanks for your reply, I use Tumeric with my rice so when it is cooked it turns a lovely golden colour.

Only one bottle? That's not going to go very far is it. I'd get a few in if I were you. There's nothing worse than running out of wine at dinner especially if you're trying to impress. Time to push the boat out I think.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
