Urgent help required- burnt curry!

**Alan** · 9th May 2006, 07:33 PM

dev, Anoushka, the bun has not helped- I had put the bun pieces in it at lunch time & I just checked it now, after 5.5 hrs, its only a little better- the flavour has not disappeared completely. The pieces are fully soaked. Should I replace them with new slices?

... I don't have a clue, Alan... Better eat it as it is coz it's one of the first few curries prepared by ur wife... & don't forget to say it's yummy...

**Alan** · 9th May 2006, 07:53 PM

No , dev, no way I'm going to say its yummy- I'll have to point out her mistake- that is using a steel container instead of a non-stick one. But I do appreciate the effort she's taken for me.

Ok... atleast tell her it was good except for this, this & this... rather than pointing out her mistakes, give her your tips & let her know how you would make it... Does that sound different???!!!...

ok madam!

Alan, it is a pity that it didn't work

generally bread works for me. But anyway, don't hurt her feelings much and enjoy your meal

Anou Ive never had luck with anything made out of burnt milk.The smell seems to permenate everything

Ssanji: I generally use milk cooker to make any milk based stuff including white sauce so no burning it

dear alan,

this might come a tad too late for you. but if gravies get burnt or has excess salt, chilli or tamarind, first remove all pieces from the gravy and keep aside. then remove half the gravy and try the bread trick. if it still doesnt work, then you will have to add hot water to that half portion of gravy, bring to boil and then add your spice powders or whatever. make sure it is just the gravy without any pieces in it.

potatoes too, are good for absorbing excess salt. it has also worked for me when it comes to removing the burnt taste.

it might help with maintaining marital bliss if you remember first to focus on the effort of the person, and then correct the action of the person

. hope you dont mind an ole soul's advice...

kind regards,
shoba
