A Curry Without Sauce
It was a curry kind of a day. I got my jar of coconut oil and spice arsenal out to make some curries. Got my cookbooks out and made some good tempered curries.
What is a dry curry. a curry with a very little sauce it almost feels like a stir fry.
it is prepared by tempering the vegetables or pulses in spicy blend of aromatics first and let it cook down to as little sauce as possible, using its own juices and very little thick coconut cream. It is a highly fragrant and flavorful, making perfect rice and curry meal. Complex flavor profile of dry roasted spices bring a much needed highlight to the meal.
With the promise of sharing each and every recipe with you soon, let me just share a snapshot of what I made today.☺️❤️
