I want to make vegetable curry in red colour ?

Question

I want to make vegetable curry in red colour like resturant so what ingrededents mix.

Answer 1

Restaurants use a cheap colouring agent available as a powder from any grocery store. Its called Orange red.
I would suggest another alternative of cooking a few bits of beetroot and a carrot together. Grind it when cooked in a mixie and use it as a colouring agent.Its safer.
But if you are sure that you want that red colour that restaurants use, which does not come off even when you wash your hands several times, go ahead and buy the Orange red powder and add a pinch to a bit of water. Add the solution in drops to your curry otherwise you might over-do it.

Answer 4

I usually add a medium carrot (the tender and redder variety used to make gajar ka halwa)to about a 1/4 kg. of tomatoes, put both in the blender and then fry the mixture in a little oil. See the beautiful colour that emerges and the carrot does not overshadow the taste of the original curry flavour. Trying to colour it with paprika will make it very spicy and you may not want that.

Answer 6

In restaurants they also use the food colour or beet root extract. Better way to make your curry red is to use Degi Mirch or Kashmiri Mirch. It is red but less pungent. Again, initially do not add meat Masala or gaaram masala at the time of cooking. It makes your curry black. Instead add it at the end.

Answer 7

The use of the spice Paprika, which has a natural red colour will add that Red to your vegetable curry !
It will also add some heat... which is a must for a good cury. :)

Sounds delicious - please don't forget to save me some! haha.
All the best.

Answer 8

if you're making a Thai style dish, use red curry paste to get the flavour and color. You can also add chilli paste to make it hotter and experiment with different colorful spices like cayenne pepper, chilli powder, tumeric (yellow) and paprika. Of course, roasted red peppers to your vegetable dish would be a nice, sweet complement.

Answer 9

use the curry paste/powder that u want but adding some paprika will get your dish as red as u like. Have fun cooking :)

Answer 10

It sounds like Achiote Red Paste. Not too sure, but that is all I can come up with. I do apologize if this is not the correct one. But from my knowledge of cooking it sounds just about right.
