She used to wrinkle her nose when I said "curry for dinner."
Too spicy. Too much. Just... no thanks, Mum.
But that changed the day I made this.
A soft, creamy curry. Mild but flavourful.
Made with warming Indian spices, tender potatoes, sweet peas, and cooling yoghurt.
It smelled like my childhood kitchen β and somehow, it became her favourite.
Now she helps stir the pot and asks for seconds.
Turns out, she didnβt hate curry.
She just hadnβt met the right one yet.
