Hurry, I want curry!

I cooked chicken curry for lunch today. I know you’re thinking "Curry again?"... well, it’s different from the one I made last week.

If you think there are only Indian and Thai curries, please think again. We have many versions here - Indian, Malay, Peranakan, Thai, Japanese, Eurasian - that use different combinations of spices to produce the most heavenly dishes.

Today’s curry is really simple to make. Just fry shallots, chilli and curry paste till fragrant, add in chicken and potatoes pieces. Stir in water and coconut milk and let it simmer. When the aromatic smell of curry fills the house, it’s time for me to run out to the garden to grab some curry leaves (careful not to get the ones with YK’s caterpillars or eggs on them). Have you ever sniffed curry leaf? It’s got the best smell ever! That few pieces really make a huge difference to the dish!

When the curry is cooked, serve with plain rice or baguette. Yummy!

Everybody here loves curry and extra points for the mummy who can cook curry in a hurry.
