I need to work on my curry game; they are not turning out as consistent as I'd like to. I cannot for the life of me do that thing where you heat the cream at the top of the can of coconut milk up and get the oil to separate from the solids! And I'm using rly good milk w/o emulsifiers, too.

Why you do this?! Is this a necessary step?

Yes, when you do this before adding the curry paste, it creates a fat in which to fry the curry (which is a necessary step) instead of just simmering it in some liquid. You can use veg oil too but apparently this coconut cream separation thing is better.

It also makes small flavorful pools of oil flout about your curry when it's done instead of just being a homogenous goop.

Thanks, will give that a try. My curries are always homogenous goops, and if I add coconut milk I chuck in the whole tin at the end.

I have not been able to get my coconut cream to separate ever, maybe it's something to do with the canning. I usually just fry the curry paste in a little oil, then add the coconut cream until you get the green oil and go from there

-figuring out how to put together a successful podcast that people will want to listen to
-remembering my college-radio life from a million years ago and how it basically saved me when i was living in a shitty town and going through some bad depression
-thinking about how i know exponentially more about music now and yet i still feel like i'm barely scraping the surface of what's out there
-wanting to reach out to people, is the main thing, wanting to make a "connection"? not a drug connection, i'm already pretty well-medicated.

- the French film Polisse, which I'm proud to say i managed to understand without subtitles
- Eyvind Kang's 'the Narrow Garden'
- vinyl records
- working out 3-part harmonies with my band

- killing ivy and blackberries in my yard
- reading in the evenings
- good eats!
- the sports section (rest of the newspaper sucks)

Yes, when you do this before adding the curry paste

and then
