Default Curry - in Canada?

Hello Everyone,

From what I am reading, you can't get a decent curry in Canada, honestly?

I have been told, I make a good curry, Korma, Pathia etc which entertains our large group of friends and sometimes I cater for the local pub for a special night. Is this a talent I might be able to utilise if we get to Canada, on a commercial basis?

I don't have many talents and am grasping for things I might be able to do!!!!

Thanks
Vicky

Well .....you will have to let Brits that grew up on Ruby be the judge of that. It's no good asking born and bred Canadians where to get decent fish and chip

It depends on where your going. Many Canadians view curry like Brits did in the '70's.

You can easily get many kinds of curry in the GTA. Outside of the GTA people only eat stewed moose and potatoes and wouldn't thank you for the best korma in the world.

Moose curry sounds like it should be a hit with the locals.

In another life, when there was always a "bottle of moose" in the fridge, I made a moose curry. I didn't make another.

Quite a few places for decent curry in Vancouver. I do tend to ask them to make it a little hotter, which I never did in the UK.

Let's see. Peterborough, Ontario, has a population of 80,000 and two Indian restaurants. We drive 90 minutes into the GTA to get a good restaurant rather than use either of those.

There are plenty of locals people who have never tasted Indian food and have no wish to do so.

If you can cook a quality meal to restaurant standard then you might be in business.

Hi

What are you thinking of? opening up a restaurant?

I would buy a ton of decent curries to put in my freezer here. I miss my curries a lot! and I haven't found a decent one yet!

There must be 7 or 8 Indian curry houses here in Regina and the lunch buffets all seem to rely on the same 7 or 8 staple dishes. They would no doubt fail if you Brits rated them. I have no notion of what English take-away curries are like but they must be outstanding from what I read here and on the fishing forums. Btw there's an English specialty shop recently opened here but I haven't stopped in yet.
Flashman, I've probably eaten waaayyyy more roadkill than anyone on this forum please don't be judgemental.
