EASY DOES IT # 19 – MUSHROOM / VEGGY CURRY To see all Pictures, Recipes and Links, go to ChefsOpinion.org This dish is an authentic curry from – Miami ??? Authentic Hans’ Cuisine if you will :-) The great thing about it is that everybody can do it, it is so simple. Yet, it tastes just as Indian, Malaysian, Indonesian, Thai or from wherever else you want it to be. Here is my train of thought: In my personal opinion, too much emphasis (hopeful maybe, pretentious and false often) is put on the label “authentic”. I have traveled the far corners of this earth many times over and I have sampled just about any mayor cuisine there is. Each one has usually THREE kinds of authenticity: First – the traditional, well established, well-known dishes which are passed on by professional cooks from generation to generation, served in rich and /or noble households without the economic need to compromise on any of the ingredients. Second – the traditional dishes served in ordinary households and restaurants, changed heavily over generations because of changes of personal taste, economic situations and ease of preparation. Third – the food which is served to travelers in local restaurants abroad and in ethnic restaurants outside of the foods country of origin, which has been altered beyond recognition to confirm to the taste and customs of foreigners in order to make it more attractive to the uninitiated and sell it more easily. I am of course the biggest fan of “authentic cuisine” if it is available, but unfortunately, this is easier said than done since “authentic ethnic food” is very difficult to find in most places. So, the alternative to most of us is two-fold: Feast on generic concoctions of good sounding, badly executed, at best mediocre quality food in ridiculously overpriced restaurants (mostly these day’s), or try to do the best you can at home, with the help of proper advise and a lot of practice. This featured curry will help you to achieve that “authentic” taste at home, without spending a fortune on a million of exotic ingredients and without spending hours of labor in the kitchen. So, enjoy “Hans’ Authentic Curry” and relax :-) P.S. However, if you do find that authentic place, hold on to it and give me the address :-) Bon Appetit ! Life is Good !
