Keralan Curry

It's has been a busy days, weeks for me.. When I get orders, I don't actually get time to update my blog because I just wanted to sit and relax.. spending my time with my little Abraham.. Make up my time with him..

Starting tomorrow everything will be back to my usual weekdays, as my other half is back to work after a very long holiday with us. I like having him at home most of the time, we cooked together and even baked together. I'll miss that moment...

Today, I sit down and planned my monthly menu again. Since my other half back to work, I needed to arrange my time properly. 

I cooked this delicious Keralan Vegetarian Curry. I got this recipe from Jamie Oliver 15 minute meal. Exactly 15 minutes, I've prepared rice, Keralan curry, minty yogurt and papadom.
