Queen Victoria Loved Curry. What Would She Have Thought Of The Dumbed Down British "French" Version?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 авг 2020
- The Indian Spice Traders introduced a special blend for the British. Though using British "Curry Powder" and thickening the sauce with flour took away its Indian authenticity it did make the curry mild enough for the palace palates and thus chicken curry picnic lunches at Sandringham and Balmoral were very popular.
This recipe is similar to the curry sauce ladled over chip shop chips in the UK.
What’s your favorite curry around the world ?

He's such a wonderful storyteller
Sure is!!🤗
Agree
Background music is so cliche
He would be better if he's not speaking that much
He is 💕It is a great history lesson and looks delicious too. Will definitely try making this 👍
I love that Queen Victoria's pots and pans are still in use.
Shows good quality.
I hope the cooks don't stir them with steel spoons, or they'll need retinning pretty often.
I make it the same
I love he makes history and storytelling a core part of his videos.
Can’t believe you have Queen Victoria recipes as well! Please do more :)
This is outrageous, how is it that a kind, charming royal chef from Britain not have millions of subscribers
this is the most underrated chef on youtube
I adore this channel..the history, story and recipes are such a delight. I'd like to see you do a proper Yorkshire pudding please.
exactly
That's so easy, why do you need that? He covers it in the Toad in the Hole video in any case.
@@bcaye Thanks for pointing that out.
Yes!!
Laan
Thank you Darren (and Winston) for brightening my days 😊You don’t even realise you’re helping me though a rough time of my life. I just love watching your videos as they make me smile and forget about all the problems etc. Thank you again🙏
If anyone ever doubts you're a chef, show them this video and let them see how you don't even flinch at a multiple huge flare ups on the stove, lol. I'd be running in circles and screaming. :D
I know, right? Me too.
My personal favorite dish with curry that I take to work in a lunchbox on a daily basis: a little oil in the pan, a much spicier curry blend heat up in the oil. I put in a chopped tomato, corn, chopped carrots, poached chicken, and all parts of the scallions (white and greens). It's great for leftovers.
The end was so cute! We love you Winston
Why do I do this to myself late at night I'm so hungry
Exactly!!!!!
University student life be like
😭
Order a curry
The curry looks delicious! My favourite Indian dish is Chana Masala with rice and naan bread.
You should try paneer muttar (cottage cheese with green peas ) curry with rice . You could also have it with Indian breads like naan or rotee .
I love the simplicity of this dish! It will be my first curry. I am looking forward to making it. Ty. Your videos are always a pleasure to watch.
Actually ended up following this recipe with a couple of exceptions. I didn't have the same spices, I had garam massala (which contains a lot of things like fennegreek, cumin, coriander etc.) and added curry powder and chili powder. Also, I may have missed if he used it in this video but I added 3 cloves of garlic and some fresh ginger. I also used chicken thighs instead of chicken breast and I felt like this curry could use chickpeas so I added that too.
All in all, turned out absolutely amazing.
Everything about your dish sounds delicious. cheers
You're absolutely right about the British inventing the curry. This is nothing like what we eat. I suppose it tastes different but probably good. Did the royals enjoy any authentic Indian dishes? Just curious.
Probably when they travel or or occasionally go out to eat or order out, but having that said, the reality is the standard heat level of classic Indian cuisine is just going to be way too hot for an Anglo pallet, we aren’t going to be able to eat it unless it’s been made more mild than what would be considered typical
@@zararoyce319 Thats an over generalization and stereotyping. I love various types of indian cuisine made for me by my Indian friends. I love heat. I am of Italian decent so not used to that level of spice but definitely enjoy it.
Rosann Ashe I don’t believe you’re Italian, but Italian is not Anglo the comment I made is specifically referring to our people, secondly, you’re saying that you like the heat so you like above average heat. Stop being a typical Indian trying to argue and take offense over everything.
Zara Royce You’ve got issues girl😂
Helin * you have issues and those issues are a Third World inferiority complex, get over yourself, if it bothers you stop watching these videos and trying to act like somebody that you’re not and be happy with who you are that’s the best thing you could do for yourself that was the best thing anyone can do for themselves
Hey Darren sooo good to see you again!!!! Loving curries, had a wonderful Indian English teacher back in the sixties and we were all invited to his tiny flat one evening and still remains the best curry I've ever eaten!!! Keep up the fab work and love winston paula in Sussex
Winston scared the crap out of me at the end..lol
Thank you for this video, Darren! I love a slightly sweet curry so adding apple is perfect. And my curry must have cream or coconut milk. This looks delicious and I will make it this week. Winston is adorable. You do. great job explaining the history and the recipe. Blessings!
I love love love the last bit . . . The chef really seemed to enjoy his food 😊✨♥️
I just made this, it is absolutely delish and so easy! Thank you for this recipe!!! 🤤
i love the insights and history you add
Love these! Thanks for the upload!
Love this man he’s so interesting an his meals are easy to follow
I'm so glad I've just discovered your amazing channel. There are many questions I want to ask but they will wait. This video shows your curry which looks delicious and is very like what my mother made for her family, the only extra thing was that she added raisins as this made a sweet counter to the curry.
Instead of dairy cream I use coconut cream
I sometimes use cashew cream.
@@raecrothers1420 oh that sounds yummy
@@raecrothers1420 Great idea. Whizz nuts with water in a good quality blender? Actually a sensible, quite authentic substitute for a change and much more environmentally friendly than those expensive, manufactured nut "milks".
@@awhite3747 it’s basically nut flavoured water. no nutrients whatsoever
@@belladonna9227 but if you can't take cows milk or lactose, what other options is there?
I really like the spinach curry with potatoes or cheese. Saag aloo and saag paneer
Me too! Fork over your recipe, whydoncha?! 😄
@@threetreasures7698 Google it
My favourite "Curry" is actually a dish from my hometown, Cape Town.
We adopted the word curry from the British, but the food has Indian roots(obviously)and also Indonesian/Malaysian roots as well as local produce.
It's the Cape Malay Snoek Curry.
The word curry came from the British via Tamil - kari. Kari also known as Kadhi is a type of yoghurt and gram flour based spicy soup that’s eaten all across South Asia.
Is snoek a Fish?
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Malaysian here! I never knew the British invented the word
@@pooja350 it is an english word lol
I made this today and it is wonderful! Served on basmati rice with Naan bread, perfect! Thank you again Darren!
Can't thank you enough for this amazing recipe!
Loving this channel: so relaxing to watch, learning the cooking techniques, with a history lesson thrown in. Initially thought the book falling was a blooper! Clever Winston.
Thanks fo watching Georgina
Adding a dash of both meat curry and fish curry spices to make chicken curry is so delicious! I haven’t been able to find these spices in back in the US. I learned this from a friend in Malaysia
I think it’s a historic channel and we can see the historic recipes with great personalities like you ❤️💝🙏love from India 🇮🇳 as a Indian we use this curry powder daily to make chicken curry 🍛
I subscribed here after finding your videos on Delish- have been binge watching. I think this Anglified version of curry is going to be Sunday dinner tomorrow, with some garlic added, chopped tomatoes and mixed peppers. Thanks Chef Darren!
I always get a good story, and a great recipe. I enjoy listening, you keep me company. 😘
Outstanding Darren , so simple and a brilliant story 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
i made this for dinner tonight! it was fantastic! thanks chef!!!
My favorite Indian dish will always be butter chicken! Love it with rice but I really really love it with naan!
When I lived in Kuwait we often had curry... usually beef curry madras. What I remember is that we used to have with it a great mixture of additional items. Like roasted almonds, Tomato and raw onion diced, Sultanas, Boiled egg chopped, potato straws, mango chutney, shredded coconut, and poppadoms. We also had what was called chicken pilau which was just boiled rice with fried chicken and then the same choice of additional items with it.
OMG, that sounds so good
Forgot to say we also had chopped banana @@Darren_McGrady
I love this! I've had this in a few restaurants but I'd love to try to make it at home!
Love all your videos and recipes Darren thank you for these your a legend
Thank you for clarifying that many "Indian" dishes are indeed British.
Some of them have been introduced back to India and have become popular there too!
♥️ Winston's dramatic entrance
One of my favourite curries to cook is the Japanese karē raisu with beef and a whole apple.
Hey, if it's good, eat it!
Not many... only some .. Like the chicken tikka masala. It's just that the British used to call every other Indian dish a 'curry' cause of their ignorance of Indian cuisine
Got the editing down this video, great stuff!
My favorite cooking channel on RUclips. I am going to make this curry tomorrow -
Thanks for these videos! (I'm glad you're an Amazon associate BTW, you earn it with your great vids) It would be great if you make the lamb curry hand pies (assuming they're hand pies) you mentioned. I'd prefer to use beef or chicken instead of lamb, but I expect that substitution isn't a big deal.
Japan was introduced to curry by the UK Royal Navy to the Imperial Japanese Navy, to encourage the sailors to eat beef. Japanese curry tastes a lot like what you would sonsider to be British curry.
I love Japanese curry 💜
So interesting!!!😘😘 I' m a big fan of England, and my favorite is Curry❤ Yes, we have numerous receipts one family and another, which is why we love curry❤❤❤
Thank you Daren Macgredy,
You are one of my favourite Chefs 👏👏
I just was watching one of your recipes
The English Currry food which was Queen Victoria's fevoried dish.
It looks so delicious 😊👏👏
I am going to make this Curry dish sometime this comming Weekend.
This looks so delicious!!! I have try try to make this!
I made this curry today (using your recipe), very delicious, and great timing as there are lots of apples around this time of year. I served mine with a small amount of coriander and some basmati rice, its definately going to be part of my repertoir. My normal curry: has an onion and tomato base using curry powder (ideally madras) with a decent amount of finely chopped ginger + maybe some fresh chillis, some lemon juice and a small amount of demerara sugar. Shortly before serving I like to add a small amount of garam marsala for the top notes. No cream or chicken stock in this particular curry or thickeners, tho sometimes add some butter. If im going all out I will make some naan bread on a pizza stone, with black onion seed is my favourite. Generally like to serve with freshly picked coriander.
What about the coconut milk?
I would add a little fresh ginger, and a small amount of tomato, just for the acid balance element.
@@kathkwilts I use canned coconut milk (not the milk substitute) when I make pork or turkey curry.
I love your videos, and adore your recipes. As for my Curry dishes I use a layering technique, beginning with wet Tarka to temper some of the spices in Ghee, and then adding the other spices while cooking, usually in stages. I believe that it utilizes the spices to their full advantage and gives the curry more depth. I also use a dry Tarka of frying Black Mustard seeds in a dry pan until they start to pop. They go from their mustard taste to sweet. Later in that dish I might add some Black Mustard seeds straight in without toasting them.
Hi Darren, love the channel - great food and great stories!
My dad used to be a chef back in the 80's and I asked him if he knew you or ever worked with you at the palace.
"Yes" he said! He also said "Whenever Darren comes back from France, he drives the wrong way up the channel tunnel"......
It was at that point that I realised I was dreaming and woke up to get ready for work!
My dad never worked at the Palace! He was executive chef at a couple of investment banks..! He never met you back in the 80's!
Do you drive the wrong way up the channel tunnel?!!
I can't wait to try this. thank you
Such fun videos! I usually make yellow chicken curry with coconut milk, peppers, onions & potatoes. And serve with saffron rice! Yum!
Just found your channel .absolutely love it. I enjoy cooking . Going to try your curry. You make great videos .so eady to follow .thankyou 😏.love from Scotland 🏴
Thanks June and welcome
I do the same as you and add sultanas, not really traditional but heck I love it, a few cardamom pods and coriander. I love Jasmine Rice the best for its taste, though not as Indian a thing to serve alongside I know. I do love eating out at Indian restaurants though, where the herbs, spices and sauces are so varied and delicious and I am always in awe of the ways in which the spices are blended and used with such expertise and skill.
I've never had Curry and I'm going to try your recipe it looks marvelous
Hi Darren!!! Cheers from sunny Tampa FL. I love your Channel here, so thank you for sharing your recipes with us. I've always wondered who decides what the daily meals for the Royal family are?
Spice box on point 😂 you’re Indian, Darren.
This is the same curry I grew up eating, though the recipe my mom used came from an aunt who picked it up while living in Jamaica, and she used chopped chicken with the bone still in instead of boneless. Myself, I like Thai curries best...with the basil and coconut milk.
Love Your Description, Yes we eat it in some different way, But would like to have this curry someday.
you good sir are a British treasure yourself keep posting these amazing videos!
Thank you 😃 making this tonight
The past five years or so, every since me and my wife and I have had our own home. I make my own turkey curry in the slow cooker. It's the identical mix off spices except it turkey, not chicken. I also add chic peas in for some texture. We normally have it on Boxing Day or New years Day (helps with the hangover)
Brilliant explanation and descriptions! Looks tasty...........I have chicken in the freezer. Have you ever made a 'soo guy" chicken dish? Please do, thank you
I wanted to make a chicken curry and started a long , very long internet search of curries omg. This was about 8-10 years ago. I read a lot of different recipes and ended up devising “ my own” or a combo of items I like. It had garlic, ginger, onion,turmeric A lot of spices chicken well carmalized it had coconut cream( unsweetened). I’m sure I’m forgetting stuff except it was absolutely out of this world delicious scrumptious. I wish I could make the exact same again
Enjoying your videos tremendously 💟👍
Darren, you are so good and pleasant that I watch you videos even though my husband and I are plant based. Great entertainment!
I think a lot of people would love it if you did a video on putting together a traditional afternoon tea and a video on breaking down the steps to formal dining etiquette/place setting and utensils, that kind of thing.
ooh yeah id watch that
The curry I make here in my home is quite like yours but I add either frozen mixed vegetables or fresh peas, carrots, celery...and on occasion finely chopped potatoes.
Made the curried chicken pies today. Came out beautifully. And the NE Clam Chowder and Normandy-style Boulangere Potatoes, Thank you!
I have a similar version except that I use yogurt rather than cream. It is really good, makes it rich and light. Congratulations!
Excellent recipe as usual. I love Masaman curry with peanuts 🤤🤤🤤
This is the best cooking channel on youtube
Good Morning Darren McGrady
I just watched your Chicken Curry with rice and the bread I loved it ❤ GOD WILLING I AM GOING TO MAKE THIS DISH THIS WEEKEND AND I WILL LET YOU KNOW ABOUT IT .
I believe you just cracked my problem after years of making homemade Curry. I always seemed to be missing a flavor/texture, I will be adding some apple next time. Cheers ttfn 🇬🇧
Your videos are so interesting!!
I have finally decided to you give you a sub. I love British cooking.
I love chicken tikka masala. I love this recipe too. Looks delicious. Yummy 😋😋😋
I made this for me dinner (tea) today. Nice.
What is this fabulous Indian music?! Love your personality and dishes! :-)
Looks so tasty. You explain everything so well. Only thing is where's the Naan bread 😁
I love adding a cupful of coconut milk to the curry!
South Indian curries are made with coconut milk
@@k-8511 Thai as well
Mr. McGrady!
I'm here just to say how much I adore your personallity. 🥰
I would love to see you in a travel series - you know, when travelling doesn't mean risk-, I'm from México and I think a lil' travel to Oaxaca could be interesting.
Please teach us the basics of cooking, I'm a hot mess with the simpliest things 🤦
Love your recipes. Our Curry is usually made with Coconut Milk and Chicken Stock with potatoes made in an Instant Pot. Next time I think we will try it your way for comparison.
I'll definitely try this! Thanks for sharing. How do I know what curry powder to get.
It is fun to cook! Today I made that curry for lunch. It was easy to make. I used chicken tights instead of chicken breast. Your videos are so much fun! Winston is a very demanding and classy corgi! Xoxo. ❤😘
It’s wonderful😄Do u mind sharing the recipe for the curry powder mix?
Hi Darren, I’m a food+nut gcse student, and have been cooking for 11 years, your channel is amazing! Keep it uppp!
also I have a question, when you have very thick steak, do you bother cutting against the grain?
Great stuff Darren. Can you make a " British Army " curry. Had one on a visit to an Army camp once, it was delicious. I Believe certain Regiments have their own recipes with dates and sultanas etc.. Thanks
I love a good Japanese curry. My favorite restaurant in Japan is Coco Ichi. The best curry I've ever had.
Is he a chef or just a very good cook? This is proper food we all luv!👍🏴☠️
I removed the apples and it was delicious and super quick to make. The wife loved it. thank you for helping my family eat royally lol!!
It was a bad idea to watch this at 2 a.m. - I now have to make this (literally now😅)
Wow - I've made a similar dish for the past 25 years, since the age of 15 or so. My recipe has been identical to this (chicken+rice) with the exception that I never thought to use apples; I'll definitely give it a try.
To mix the recipe up, I every now and then to sauté some mushrooms along with the chicken. Another thing I do is using the smallest possible amount of cinnamon before adding the cream, which gives the dish more depth. Thank you so much; I'll try the dish with apples next time when I'm making this. Never though my cheap college dish was also served at Buckingham Palace 😃
OMG....Winston gave me a fright! lol 🐶
Due to milk allergies I use coconut milk in my curry, thickened with a little cornstarch. Yum!
Lamb Biryani, definitely my fav.........but I love all curries. Can you offer a biryani recipe that is less long-winded than the one I use? Thanks, Darren. I love your videos!
This is a great video! I am just getting into curry's and have a question. I know about the red, yellow, green, and massaman curries. Which of these curries would be closest or most similar to the curry you make in this video, so if I got to the store for curry powder I know which one to get. Thanks for all the great and entertaining videos!
I will give this recipe a go for sure.
