Well, I have done a couple of dishes from Flavours Of The Spice Coast, and they have come out delicious! Mrs. Mathew has simplified the recipes in Spices, or some editor has, but they have done a good job.
Tonight, mutton red curry.
It took me two and a half hours after getting back from work and opening the book to getting the food on the table.
Mise
Did I cook the recipe as stated? No. I halved the amount of chilli, and I used Kashmiri chilli powder which is not as hot but is more red- for my chilli sensitive girls.The amount of garlic and ginger seemed way too little for a kilogramme of meat, so I doubled the quantities.
No pics here of the final dish but it tasted good. Authentic, meaning I would not be surprised to taste this at a home in Kerala. The family loved it, and actually, so did I.
