Prawn curry - Curry Recipes - Gary Rhodes

[thesku11s]

The statement she made about Bengali's using sugar is total nonsense. It may be involved in modern fussy/overcomplicated recipes but it is never used traditionally in savoury dishes, never. Even the onion sweetness in Bengali food is understated compared to what bengali's cook abroad. Because in bangladesh the only onion you can get is TINY shallots which are a lot of work to peel and chop. In British-Bengali restaurants, onion is used as a cheap bulking agent which makes dishes extra-sweet.

[VIRAJ818]

@thesku11s You have no clue what you are talking about. Bengali's use sugar to balance the spices, and cut the pungency of the curry. Every Bong I know puts damn sugar in their curries. You seriously are ignorant to make that statement.

[MrDarkTides]

He doesn't need to dictate the spice mix does he, Can't take his chilli, what a turd job Gary

[cliffypp007]

What an arsehole he is!!!! Ignorant twat!!!

[DoomlordProductions]

What an arrogant twat! 

[gardenvarietypenis]

Ok, I must apologize for one mischaracterization of the lady in purple: she was miss dhakka 1970 a runner-up in the miss bhut jolokia competition eventually losing a lepper.

[gardenvarietypenis]

Shut up one and all! Miss smelly Delhi of1959's over spiced/over salted prawn mash up recipe would be eternally lost in the effluence of the Ganges if it weren't for Gary Rhodes. Leave it to a Brit to be kicked in the groin for bringing gastronomic civility to the sub-breeding chamber-continent that is India and Bangalidesh.

You all should be ashamed of that dot!

[ababil001]

ooo....did I just write the same thing three times....lol...well I still mean it!

[ababil001]

wat an idiot...he really needs to BUTT OUT of someone else's recipe...

[ababil001]

he really needs to BUTT OUT of someone else's recipe!

[ababil001]

he really needs to BUTT OUT of someone else's recipe!

[tonycatman]

My God. Ghee. Sugar. Coconut milk. Bring on the heart attack.

[bluepatentbelt]

You really need to look at the whole series, he really knows how to get on your nerves and if i was cooking with someone like him next to me, i'm sure he would end up in the kadhai.

Rhodes didn't achieve anything with this series. It is interesting to note that he was the same in Rhodes across china and italy.

[dinozavara]

I'm sorry but this doesn't look right, all these spices.....hmmmmmm

[monkeykrueger]

cause he's a fastidious concervative .... good chef though..... boring man but.... thougha really really nice guy i reackon..... top bloke .....

[qa1001xz]

If one travels to see/learn about other cultures then one should not make faces,rude gestures. If defeats the whole point of being there !

[ddbd]

rude little twerp.

[AbstractMan23]

"does this look right?"

"put the whole lot - are you sure? there's an awful of of cumin"

hmmm what a patronising arrogant fool.

he's so painful to watch...

[ksenos69]

pretty hot day, wasn't it?

[Will137]

Err... so is the basic idea that he's gone to India - to teach Indian people how to cook their own dishes,,, in their own country?

[dann756]

stop with the hate....he is a good guy

[cjeremie]

if he ever came here to Australia with that attitude we'd flog him with a whip and he would go crying to mamma.

[yasinansari]

I would love to see ONE of you put out recipe that can contend with Gary Rhodes stuff. Fascinating how the incompetent generally have an opinion on everything ...

[tmonkey123]

@yasinansari huh? If you think anyone foreign can go on holiday for a few weeks and learn to cook better than people from cultures who've perfected these dishes over thousands of years and cook them every single day, then you have much to learn about this world. Rhodes is a good chef, but he won't know 99% of the recipes that hundreds of millions of Indians cook in their homes, and he's certainly in no position to pretend that he knows better than anyone (nor are his fanboys).

[mgbuk]

Anyway you look at it, prawns curried, WHY?

[huneydubs]

The dish looks really good, but dude.....why do you have to negotiate on the spices at all..

[CookingwithSean]

Huge prawns!! Awesome dish, I love it.

[hablerz]

When in India, do as the Indians do. Dont be shy with those spices oil and salt, thats whats its all about.

[zoragirl4]

Why is he trying to change the recipe? I like that she insisted that he put all the spice in the dish! He needs to be quiet and follow the directions. If he wants to cook his own recipe then he should do so; the whole point is to LEARN from other chefs and cultures!

[nitfeu]

First let me introduce myself.. I'm an indian. We indians need to accept one thing, we love spicy food. We can't expect everyone to love our recipes as such. Infact gary is frm london & London people normally don prefer spiciness. He has incorporated indian cooking in London at his restaurants, 4 tat we need to appreciate and thank him. He needs to satisfy his people wit d taste and d goodness of indian cooking. Indians normally welcome all kinds of people please don hurt them wit such comments.

[The14thDoctor]

His delivery (& voice) has definitely changed over the years.

People like me who have watched him for a long time will know what I mean when I say that he's gone from the "market stall" to the "perfume counter" lol. Watch earlier Rhodes, then watch him now and you'll see ;)

[ApopheniaIV]

them prawns look more like lobsters

[angryniggah]

after seeing this again 2 mos. later: this chef is great as is the dish, and he's taking her instructions not being unbearable....did i mention we're dating.

[shamizBiird]

flippin hell its all bout what he wants. let her do it otherwise y flippin ask her moron. honestli, hhe gets too big headed

[youtrojaxtube]

Me Me Me its all about me.....let her cook the dish ya numpty!

[StreghetteXXX]

hahahahha! exactly...!

[chandley1976]

Hes one of the best chefs in England, and I think hes become pretty affected over the years because of this. He recently did one of these series in China too, and was the same there too. Ive got no doubt that hes a better chef than the people hes talking to, as European chefs have international knoledge, whereas Asian chefs only really know their own food, just as Asian people only eat their own food as a rule. But yeah, he should listen to these people since they are the experts. Cock eh :)

[The14thDoctor]

I have to agree chandley1976.

Unfortunately like so many so called "top chefs" the ego has overtaken the talent. They become rude, bossy, arrogant and aggressive and there is no need for it.

There are a few VERY nice chefs around, but sadly they are now in a minority :(

[danielshacalis]

I fully agree with you. I mean I personally would eat a lot better in a Taverna in Athens than at Ramsay or such and such's restaurants.

[tmonkey123]

@chandley1976 lets be honest, English main courses are very bland. That is why why it's only English celeb chefs who do international dishes, because foreign food is so popular in the UK. In India/China/Italy/etc, foreign food is not so popular because they already have a huge number of great dishes based on thousands of years of culinary culture, access to the best produce, trade routes etc. Dont forget the UK was just was a poor farming island with very little culture until the Romans invaded.

[emouch1]

plonker... it is like him telling my gramma how to make mousaka

[Charlierosea]

yare lol! Wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of roads nutcase.

[nicemutant]

what's happened to Rhodes? He used to be the ultimate gentleman and very polite and accomodating. Now he seems very rude, condescending and hateful.... bwoi can cook mind....

[andyjdking]

same with jamie oliver. these days he is unbearable

[Cayke1]

Rhodes pretends to 'listen' to the lady but in truth bullies and ignores his way through this. Patronising tit.

I agree with AliMakaveleliDa7thSign - what is the point of the lady? Only that she probably cooks this dish better.

[Charlierosea]

Like so many confident people in this world, we lack confidence.

[AliMakaveliDa7thSign]

wots da point of dis bengy lady.. da gary geeza is good on his own

[NausicaSaudran34]

Gary Rhodes is the best chef ever, passionate about his work and clear in all his explanations
