Whilst my boys was at their grandparents I ate all the things that I love but don’t generally make because my boys or rather one of them are or have become such simple eaters.
The two eldest boys B1 and B2 never use to be; prior to B3 being born my boys were actually what I call adventurous eaters. B1 was happy to much on some curry and didn’t mind a whole lot of pepper. B2’s favourite meal was soba noodles and broccoli however B3 came along with his incredibly plain pallet met with the realisation that eating dinner with him is painstaking I took the easy way out. Breakfast and lunch is his meals. Dinner is often met with argument and so we have become plain eaters..pandering to one child is something I never thought I would do but that is literally what has happened in order just to get dinner done come the end of the day I am literally done.
So child free; curries were some of the main stay of my single girl nights along with one two many glasses of vino. When it comes to curry I’m not fussy Indian, Thai, Chinese it doesn’t matter but I’m not a fan of the hot curry a little bite is nice but its the spices I like the most.
This curry is a dry curry and a meat dish however a little cauliflower thrown in is perfect. Its ready in about an 2 hours and I think it will be a perfect introduction to curry for B3.
