I don't care for hot curries, regardless of whether it's Indian or
Thai, but I love most of the rest of the Indian menu.

Agree on hot curries, I like them mild. We had leftover curried
chicken last night... just enough curry flavour without too much heat.

Yes, on the farm, but weekends I'm an Uber Lada driver. I take the lady
strippers to the bar. They are very popular strippers, loyal members of
the Communist Party for 60 years.

I usually prefer them to be medium. We used to frequent a Thai
restaurant that used to be really good and reliable. Over the last few
years they became hit and miss. It became heat roulette. We would order
different dishes with different heat levels. Dishes we had ordered hot
were mild and those we ordered mild were hot. We tried a new Thai place
and I ordered mine medium. When the dish came it was perfect for me. My
son pointed out that "medium" was 2 on a scale of 5. I think 3 would
have been a little hot for me, and I like hot.

Which is why I tend to avoid buying meals with heat - you usually
never know how strong or weak it will be.

I can handle it pretty hot, though I prefer it not to be extreme. I am
willing to risk it for Thai food because the flavours tend to be really
interesting.

I tend to prefer Thai and Indonesian over other Asian cuisine. If it
has coconut milk or cream, I'm probably going to like it (as long as
it isn't too hot). That said, I don't eat Asian food very often.

Curry is a generic name for many blends. I use rogan josh for lamb most
of the time. I use the yellow for rices (Jamacian? Sp) and vegetables.
I use Garam Masala for other things or blend my own.

Your point is????

What is YOUR point? Rogan Josh IS a lamb dish, you can't "use rogan
josh for lamb"

In India, rogan josh is often made with goat instead of mutton, since
genuine lamb is less widely available than goat meat. There is a
variety with beef as well, brisket being preferred.

Even chicken too - however it's not a dehydrated spice.

If you took the spices from that recipe, ground them up, and mixed them,
you'd have "rogan josh" seasoning. Depending on how complete you wanted
it to be, you might add granulated garlic and/or powdered ginger. Although
that wouldn't produce the same flavor profile, it might be "close enough
for jazz".

I think that's what cshenk was talking about. Someone else mentioned
that Penseys sells a spice mix of that name and I know cshenk buys
from Penseys. Not worth arguing about.
