It’s Curry Night!!

Munchkin.Another.Eating.ShotTonight we have a Bengali style curry.  Thank-you Rumpa for the priceless cooking lessons back in the good old days in Glasgow.  This curry has our own coconut cream (which you can purchase at Green Supaul’s in Punta Gorda).

I love cooking up curries because the wonderful aromatic herbs pervade through the house.  This is when the dogs and the cat start sniffing around because it smells so delicious!  Even the cat gets curry sauce on his gizzard!

This is a great way to eat unripe bananas; they make a hearty and satisfying food.  Definitely a tasty way to chomp your way through bananas especially when you have 172 of them!!
