Blogging stuff! 🙂

When I first made this my husband declared at the first mouthful “I like it. It tastes like something I have at an Indian… but I don’t know what.”

“Well, it is supposed to be a curry.” I replied.

After a few more mouthfuls… “Maybe a korma.” He didn’t sound too sure.

Halfway through… “It tastes like a bhuna!”

Ever since it’s been ‘the curry that tastes like a bhuna’.
