butter chicken with no butter, now prawn curry with no curry. jamie is something else

[DilinaAmaruwan]

You know it's bad when Chef James is making Uncle Roger faces 😂

[vwisse]

I'm not easily confused but Jamie managed it. He threw half a jar of mango chutney and enough ginger for an entire village in a pan, blended it up and calls it a curry. What planet did Jamie visit where adding ginger to a condiment equals curry? So confused.
Thanks for the prawn tip, never knew the C shape thing.

How to make Curry without "Curry". 🤣

[MdnightWnd]

He should have called this prawn chutney instead. And I can see his kids loving it since it's probably sweet as anything.

Chef James, I appreciate how calm you manage to be while watching a famous chef make curry with no curry ingredients. I live in the middle of the jungle of Costa Rica in a village of 500 people, and even I can get a basic curry powder.

I don't understand making curry shrimp without any curry. I'm not a chef, just like to try new recipes. Thank you for the shrimp cooking tip!

[skycendre]

I always overcook my prawns, thank you so much for the C and O tip Chef James! And awesome video as usual, I love how your expressions said everything about Jamie's cooking process

[canonicalheat]

Important tip: Jamie, if you want to make curried anything, add curry. Making fried vegetable mix with garlic and mango chutney, does not make it curry.

Another stellar review chef!!
Since Jaime Oliver likes the olive oil & jams in his recipes so much we should call him "Jammy Olive-Oil" 🤭

Chutney candy, no spice... Jamie Olive oil.

Great video as usual. You could make a little short with the shrimp tip... great tidbit I hadn't heard before.

[abhisheksathe]

He must really love that mango chutney 🤣🤣

[vinay]

I think he intended to make a prawn curry which is popular to the South of India (especially in the state of Kerala). They cook the prawns alongwith raw mango for the tanginess. It tastes amazing. Jamie just substituted raw mango with chutney.

There is an easy way to improve Jamie's dish. Just call it Mango Chutney Prawn Curry. Then we expect what we get. It goes from "WTF was he thinking omg" to "Well, ok I guess".

I have no other ideas on how to improve this, other than to scrap it and just make traditional curry.

Also, yoghurt is added in Indo-Persian cooking traditions to a) add acidity b) to add volume to the spice base i.e to act as a carrier for the harsher spices c) to add richness. You need to cook out the yoghurt with the meat (and the spices which he did not use apart from the sugary mango preserve) for it to be a meaningful addition. Mah dude could have just used a drizzle of cream for the shots 🤷🏻‍♀️

We can always trust Chef James Makinson with his critiques in regards to certain types of recipes. Jamie Oliver has the capacity to redeem himself for all of his errors while cooking. Chefs are prone to mistakes all the time, and that’s perfectly normal.

For this recipe, if he took out the mango chutney, which is unnecessary sugar, used a base of ghee, and then maybe 1-2 tablespoons of curry powder (as you mentioned) that would give a lot more balance to the dish. I also think the ginger is too big and should have been crushed or minced. A mouthful of ginger isn't that pleasant, at least to me. Personally, for what he used, I'd go with something like Garam Masala (1-2 teaspoons), less turmeric (Turmeric and shrimp can be nasty is you're not controlling the amount of turmeric and I usually go much lighter with turmeric with shrimp, which should taste juicy, but tumeric can taste dry.), and maybe a teaspoon of powdered toasted cumin? Spice grinder I use a coffee grinder, but then I make curries from scratch when possible.

I know he's all about "healthier" but deleting butter, and adding sugar doesn't make it make it "healthier" and there have been updated studies since then. Ghee has more saturated fat than butter, but the amount is negligible, the sugar, which is mostly sucrose, nutritionally would be more problematic in the dish than the amount of ghee needed.

He seems to do a decent job within his wheelhouse, when he's not trying to be posh and preachy (because then blackholes tend to appear), but outside of it, it doesn't quite seem he cares as much as he should.

When you say " I bet he say it taste good ." I actually laughed out loud in the middle of a busy restaurant waiting for my food. Omg everybody is looking at me weird. Jamie does provide us with lots of comedy .
Chef is your video Shadow ban or something? I keep missing your notification for your video.
Thanks for the video as always .

[RockTo]

I think a good video for you to do, would be to follow along with Jamie in your kitchen - make the recipe exactly as he does, and then make a second version with your suggested changes. (additionally, it could be fun to let people try them without saying which dish is which)

Great video. I enjoy these straight reaction videos, gives you a little more breathing room - but I know the Uncle Roger reactions are a bit better for channel discoverability. Both entertaining, I just enjoy this type a bit more because your on-camera personality shines through. You've been on the video grind and it shows, really appreciate the footage edited in throughout to keep things visually interesting, and you seem much more comfortable/natural in front of a camera than some earlier videos of yours I watched. A great improvement, hope your channel continues to grow. As this type of channel goes, yours is probably my favorite. I like your straightforward & analytical style, you explain things really well to rookies such as myself without coming across as condescending. Just my 2 cents!
