I could never get it right until an Asian psychiatrist explained how simple it was and she was right! She also taught me that she could enjoy a cold veggie curry lunch dish in someone else’s car en route to an assessment πŸ˜€
Never expected cold curry to be as good as it is. Love cold spinach curry.

(I'm guessing which of the pink forms were yours now. Recommendation or application??😁)

Love greens in a curry. I thinly trim the leaves with a scissors into the main curry 5 mins before serving.

( I was a more your 5(4) white form type πŸ™‚ )

When I was a student I knew this lad whose parents were from Sri Lanka. He taught me that the trick was cooking the onions to death with your spices and garlic and some root ginger. The main bit of the curry doesn't have to go in early at all. So fish can go in really late so it doesn't disintegrate as long as it goes into a masala that has been cooking for quite some time. I prefer to even part boil potato or cauliflower so it can go in later in the process.

(When I was training they always frowned on you guys using 5(4) as better to make me get out of bed for 5(2) in the eyes of the commission, even though the 5(4) guys were often way more experienced (and not half asleep)πŸ™„)

Celery is an excellent vegetable. Always keep some in the fridge. I eat a chunk after every meal, it’s a natural floss and the dog loves it too πŸ˜€

I still have a problem with celery. Had a summer job once on a farm packing it for the supermarket. Even the smell puts me off.

It’s quite a grown up taste I think. Maybe it’s the sense of taste, not to mention every other flipping sense 😩, deteriorating that makes it more palatable?

I had to take care of chickens, feed, gather eggs etc on a small ranch. The dust inside was torturous. It was years before I could eat a chicken. Allergic to eggs though.
