I followed a Jaime Oliver recipe for curry, which started with grating onion, ginger and garlic. I liked the curry, but grating an onion is a miserable job. He said that technique unlocked the onion’s ‘sweetness’. How much difference do you think I’d notice if I used a food processor?
Jamie Oliver does dreadful things to “Thai” curry’s.
I use an Indonesian oelekan for curry’s. Takes some time but there is nothing better than a mortar and pestle.
A food processor won’t give you the authentic taste as an oelekan, but grating an onion is just more Jamie Oliver bs, better use the processor…
Jamie Oliver does terrible things to a LOT of recipes. Remember when he tried to “enhance” a Tandoori chicken recipe and called it literally “Empire Chicken”?
