I mentioned the other day that I’ve had an infatuation with curry lately. I just love it! Jeremy and I went to India back in 1998. That’s where we fell in love but that’s a story for another time. Back to curry. We had some not so nice curry in India. So sad really, but isn’t that usually the story with mission trips? When Zach and Anneke (Jeremy’s brother and our sister-in-law) were staying with us, Anneke made curry a couple of times and my palate was in love. I tried this recipe from BBC Food this week. It was easy, fast, and tasty! I also chose chapatis over rice. (Chapatis are like an oversized tortilla for those who aren’t familiar with the term.)

2-3 teaspoons curry powder
