coconut

This is clearly not a traditional curry but it is inspired from what I know about the culture.

The idea started from the seasoning attached to this recipe. Pre-made spice blends save my life when I’m uninspired after a long day working and, this seasoning was inspired from the episode of Chef’s Table (…on netflix, you HAVE to watch it) where they featured the progressive restaurant Gaggan in Bankok. The way Gaggan Anand described the perfect flavour balance of his dish made my head spin and this is what I was able to come up with. Some red chili powder would be interesting to give it a spicier twist but, I sadly didn’t have any on hands. Instead, I choose to top the curry with a little bit of Kochukaru (Korean red pepper flakes, used in kimchi) and it gave it the little spiciness I didn’t add in the seasoning.

I hope you’ll enjoy this potato & chickpea curry recipe and new spice blend attached to it. Make sure to have a small container for the remaining seasoning because you’ll have extra to be creative with.

Happy Cooking! *^_^*

We all love the taste of bacon but bacon doesn’t always love us…

Hopefully, there is a few “bacon like” alternatives that can help us quench our need for delicious bacon while respecting our diet! Today, I’m presenting you a personal favourite: Coconut Bacon! You can easily take this same recipe and use thin slices of almonds instead if you’re not a fan of coconut. Take note that the end result might taste a slight different, there is something with the soft texture of the coconut flakes that really remind you of real bacon while almond bacon will keep a harder, crunchier texture.

Although, both version are delicious but….. my favourite is really coconut!

Enjoy this recipe!
