Curries are one of my favorite things to cook.\u00a0 They are generally a dump-it-in, let-it-cook sort of meal, they can be adapted to use up whatever’s leftover in your fridge…and they are downright tasty!!\u00a0 This curry is one of my go-to recipes.\u00a0 It’s a really solid main course which tastes even better the next day.\u00a0 I often make this when I need to take a meal to someone as it’s easy to transport & freezes well.\u00a0 Enjoy!<\/p>\r\n
