India is very famous with curry… Turmeric , red and green chilly, ginger, coriander, etc are the common spices which are used in cooking. In some of the homes in India, people still use fresh turmeric, chilly, ginger and other spices, but in some homes which are more modern and open to changes, people have learn to cut the long process in cooking by using ready to use spices.

Rather than making the paste from the fresh spices, some people have change the pattern to use the powder spices. Frankly speaking, after living for more than 6 years in India, I understood why most of the ladies prefer to stay at home to be a full time housewife rather than pursuing their career. Indian are still quite traditional in the way they eat and people are not so open up with the habit of eating outside.

It takes quite a lot of time to cook Indian food, people can spend hours to prepare the food in the kitchen. But with all the spices powder, cooking the curry has become less burden.

After some trials, I found my own style in cooking the curries. The recipe which I’m going to share today is a very simple way of making the curry. I have learnt, if I don’t cook the curry too heavy, it will reduce the pressure in my stomach I still sometimes feel bad in my stomach if I eat heavy curry, maybe because I’m still not used with this spicy food yet. So, I tried to modified the cooking to suit my stomach condition. Most of all, it doesn’t take so much of time to cook this curry.
