This was so easy to make and a big hit in our family. I made it with chicken and will be making it again.
I added the lime juice and the fish sauce
Let’s talk about how awesome it is to eat vegetables that taste like cash money. I mean, not literally, just in the way of, like, you know, when it tastes like, really good, like something that might cost you a lot of cash money, or has the same positive association of money, not that money is everything but, like… gah. You know what I mean. Have you started school again? Or your kids? O your kids’ kids? Or you’re the teacher? Or you work from home and you’re looking out the window to borrow some back-to-school vibes from the kiddos in backpacks walking to the bus? Back-to-school is upon us all. See also: OH. MY. GOSH. It sounds so basic to say that I can’t believe that it’s already that time of year – probably because it IS so basic. It’s what I say every season, every year. But with the upheaval and constant grief of this last year, time just feels especially weird. Like it’s been both too slow and too fast all at once. But as usual, time ticks on, and that is, I guess, is how you find yourself staring down the completed ravaged back-to-school section at Target wondering why the pencils are already out because didn’t summer just start? Here we go again. I’m making it sound like this is a bad thing, but I actually adore everything about the fall season. As a former teacher, I think I will always have a little bit of that super zealous back-to-school spirit running through my veins. At top of my list of things I love about fall is really, really good food. Like, comforting, cozy, wrapped in a sweater kind of good food. Think ancho turkey chili and cornbread after the first week of school. Carnitas and magic green sauce on game day. Detox lentil soup and no-knead bread for your first official on-time dinner in months. And think curry. Green curry. Green curry with some weirdo stuff in it (tofu? golden raisins? sweet potatoes?) that is going to make you feel like you won both the nutritional and yumo-food olympics.

Reviews for "Curry: a journey through culture and cuisine"
1. John - 2 stars - "I was extremely disappointed with 'Add a Pinch of Curry Magic'. The recipes were overly complicated and required hard-to-find ingredients. The book claimed to be beginner-friendly, but I found myself struggling to follow along. Additionally, the flavors in the dishes were just not to my liking. Overall, I would not recommend this cookbook to anyone looking for simple and tasty curry recipes."
2. Sarah - 1 star - "I have tried several recipes from 'Add a Pinch of Curry Magic', and none of them turned out well. The directions were unclear and lacked important details. The spices and amounts mentioned in the book did not yield the desired flavors, leaving the dishes bland and unappetizing. I was looking for a cookbook that would help me recreate the authentic taste of Indian curries, but unfortunately, this book fell short of my expectations. I would advise others to look for a different curry cookbook."
3. Emma - 2 stars - "I found 'Add a Pinch of Curry Magic' to be lacking in variety. The recipes all seemed very similar, with only slight variations in ingredients. The book promised to provide a wide range of curry dishes, but I felt like I was reading the same recipe over and over again. Additionally, the lack of pictures made it difficult to visualize the final dishes. I was hoping for a more diverse and visually appealing curry cookbook, so I was disappointed with this one."
