Carom seeds (Ajwain) and:

Same batter and curry spices
Same batter and kala namak (another "careful here")

Caraway & Raisins, since it has recently been mentioned in another thread :)

Improvised curry powder cheat : cumin, chile pepper, coriander, turmeric are nearly always there. Mustard, fennel, fenugreek define the character. Cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg/mace, black pepper, cloves, star anise kind of are the toppings...
 
Achiote and orange
Guajillo, queso fresco and red onions
 
@mucho, is that juiced or whole (I imagine pomegranate seeds and diced cubes of beets to match which sounds like a textural circus, in a good way.

You make it sound so easy, I think you forgot to mention all the chanting and incense burning one must go through enlightenment of making the curry. And alcohol, of course to help with the chanting.
 
Whole seeds and cubed pickled beets about the same side as the seeds. It does give great texture and flavor. When the seeds burst you get a pleasant sweet rush of juice the pit add some nuttyness to the flavor. Simple but impactful
 
@DDPSlice the reason to do it that way (even in recipes that suggest to just dump curry powder in): you will end up with a bit different flavor each time, but most of the times you will still get a great curry taste, so you can have curry and at the same time won't get tired of the same curry :)
 
Yea, as for the pomegranate I just wish there was a way to remove the inner seed from the surrounding flesh. I've always hated that part of the pomegranate.
 
Safran/nutmeg
Nutmeg/Parsley
Parsley/smoke
Smoke/yeast
yeast/rhum
rhum/banana
etc..


White truffel/Nutella/Coconut in this season

Lobster/Vanilla
Strawberry/orange blossom/ balsamico vinegar/ lemon

All these combos are great to make a component stronger, like parsley cream with nutmeg and smoke. Or a how to make with vanilla a lobster stock tasting more like lobster.
 
"yeast/rhum" ... Christstollen? ;) (To those who don't know it: A dense, heavily enriched yeast bread with a marzipan core, a hint of gingerbread spices, and a screwton of fruit zests and rum-soaked raisins and candied fruit. And a powdered sugar coating. Traditional German christmas cake.).

"saffron/nutmeg" ... Biryani and Pulao feature that sometimes :)

Almonds (including almond milk and amaretto) and cherries have been mentioned? Also in combination with sugar, cardamom and rice? (note to self: Try a kheer-style desert risotto one day...)

Scallion greens on top of spicy chinese sauces

I'm Asian so to me adding MSG makes everything else taste great, on a serious note personal combination that can be used for any meat, garlic and sauces ratios : 1 oyster sauce, 1/2 dark soy sauce, 2 fish sauce and if you like a bit of chopped chillies.

Oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, chili. I like vinegar so add it to those.

Bitter melon & Pork

Red Wine vinegar & lite olive oil.
 
Coconut-infused rices (eg Nasi Uduk) with plain Sambals (sambal badjak, sambal oelek)....
 
I suppose this one hasn't been mentioned yet:
-Roasted red beets & chocolate sauce. You can add thyme as well.

when you say chocolate sauce do you mean something sweet?

I find that beets, especially the juice is a great cheat to keep a red wine sauce red.


To keep this thread on track, I'd also have to say a great combo would be bacon with bacon, you simply can't get a better bacon-y flavor otherwise.

Yep... exact same recipe as the sauce I throw on my ice cream. 100 grams of water, 100 grams of sugar, 150 grams of dark (55%) chocolate and a chunk of butter.
When I add thyme I usually add it to the beets so I can still use the same sauce for desert. :)
 
Gotcha, I was curious because I've been messing around alot with plain cacao. Publix (supermarket) sells this stuff $4/lb in bar form so I've been making lots of fudge, chocolate sauce and plain cacao tea for after my runs.

Black cardamon and vanilla bean
 
pepperoni + chocolate
sweet soy sauce + worcestershire sauce
strawberry + pepper
sweet white wine + sesame oil + light soy sauce
wakame + green peas
 
Bell pepper + crushed coriander seed (not ground, not stale - orangey tasting) + creamy stuff. Kadai-anything foundation...
