Hey Alan,

We finally tried the recipe for Alan's Sweet Curry today.

All I can say is that is absolutely fabulous!!!

The first bite or two neither of us was really sure what we thought,
probably because it is a marriage of many different flavors and the
curry is something entirely new to us. However, by the third bite we
both were in love with the dish. We had a nice fresh tossed salad and
canned asparagus with it since I do not do rice. We did agree that a
nice size piece of French or Italian bread with a bit of olive oil and
herbs on it would compliment it very well too.

I want to thank you and tell all of those here that have never tried a
dish like this to at least give it a try. Normally we would have
leftovers from a dish this size. Not this time. It was so good and not
loaded with carbs so it all just kind of disappeared.

I just know that someone is going to ask me what it did to my numbers.
Well, by the time we cleaned off the table, put the dishes in the
machine and a couple of other chores we both wanted to take a little
siesta before Laurie had to get ready for work. When we got up from
that we had a cup of coffee and a piece of (blank with carbs) and I
completely forgot to test. After that I won't test until time for my
supper in about an hour. I will try to remember to do the tests next
time.

Your recipe does make me wanting to try some other recipes with some
curry so long as they are not overloaded with it. After all I want to
be able to taste the other ingredients too.

The following information is given with the utmost respect
for the armed forces and civilians who have died in the
current war in Iraq. According to http://icasualties.org/oif/
The number of Americans killed in Iraq as of Jan. 31, 2006 is 2,242.
United Kingdom = 100
Other = 103  
Iraqi deaths in excess of 30,000
according to President Bush - probably many more.

The portion would have to be tiny for me. Raisins, chutney, lemon juice,
and apple enough to constitute 18 grams would not work for me they all
perform as very fast carbs in my body.

I make a good curry sauce that does not affect my blood sugar with
cream, onions, madras curry powder, and depending on what I am put it
on, a dash of a sugar free Da Vinci syrup. Lately I've been currying
steamed cauliflower as a side dish this way without the syrup.

It's one of those odd ones - I was wary the first time I
tried it after discovering Jennifer's advice, but it was
surprisingly kind to my 1hr BGs. YMMV

Alan that is almost exactly the recipe my Mom used for years.
She was from No. Ireleand and it's apparently a British variation.

Hi Pete

The original version (heavily modified now) was from an
Australian cookbook I bought when I was first told in no
uncertain terms "if you want anything spicy or fancy you'd
better cook it yourself" nearly forty years ago.

Excellent advice - never eat food that the cook will not
taste.

I still have the book sans covers - so I've no idea of the
title. Australian culinary culture in the '60s was still
fairly British.

The term "Curry" as I understand it is actually a British
invention from the Raj days. The Indians saw all of the
dishes as quite different and didn't use the generic term.
maybe Nicky could expand on that.

I'm not even sure that curry is a word in Hindi. There are thousands of
different dishes that we would term "curry", each of which have different
spices and preparation methods. And they're so much nicer when you make them
at home, preferably starting with whole spices.

Almost the story I've heard.  The British who came back from India
wanted to continue to eat some Indian food, but in India, each dish had
its own unique combination of spices, and that was just too
time-consuming.  So the British invented "curry powder" which is a
mixture of spices that the British liked in making Indian foods.
