I love a good Thai Green Chicken Curry. My hubby and I spent a good month in Thailand during our backpacking adventure and I learned to cook this during our time there. Even though the list of ingredients here is long, it is actually a really quick and easy meal to make as long as you have a food processor to grind the curry paste in. If you want to make a double batch of paste, it freezes ...

Simple Moong Dhal
This is a very traditional style Moong Dhal, the kind that takes me back to India and the many Thali plates we ate during our stay there. My hubby and I journeyed this amazing country for over 8 months (over 20 yrs ago) on a very tight budget of $5 a day (for all food, transport and accommodation). So we were always looking for the best deals food wise and the daily Thali plate was generally ...

Butter Chicken Chickpea Curry
This Butter Chickpea Chicken Curry is one of my family's all-time favourite meals. I spent almost a year in India and Nepal in my late 20's and I always loved the punchy flavours of Butter Chicken (or Chicken Makhani as it's known in India). I love to add in chickpeas and reduce the amount of chicken. It’s great for nutritional variety and also makes this a more budget friendly meal. The ...

Potato, Pea and Spinach Curry
It's no secret I'm a huge fan of Indian cuisine. This mild curry brings back memories of breakfast on the beach in Goa, India. This was our staple as we finished-up our backpacking adventure pretty much broke, but milking our last days of travel in a make-shift hut on a gorgeous secluded beach in the south of India. Every morning we ate a potato curry of sorts for brekkie firstly because it was ...
Salmon and Vegetable Curry
This Salmon Vegetable Curry is a quick, easy to make delicious meal that even my fish-fussy kids adore. My daughter has become progressively fish fussy as she's got older. Where she would happily eat all seafood, including slurping back a slimy oyster as a toddler, she now balks at a plain piece of grilled fish. It's funny because I remember disliking anything fishy as a teenager too, so I can ...
