The best curry in the world is DONE.
The curry turned out a lovely sunny yellow, however with my phone's camera you cant tell.
Dahi Curry takes me right back to my childhood days, one of my most vivid memories that I can now recollect was cycling back from school in the pouring rain to come home to hot dahi curry and rice. I still remember how I devoured my lunch!!! Love my Nan for preparing some of the most mouth watering dishes not easily found anywhere anymore! Thanx Aashu for the jogging the old noggin!!!
