    Well, as I was telling @landsharkkidd it only takes me like 4 hours to cook two dishes, but I present a shitty photograph of tonight’s dinner.

    dins

    Dal with watercress, a make-it-up-as-you-go-along prawn curry (frozen prawns) with snake beans and discount tomatoes, and white basmati rice cooked in the rice cooker with a couple cloves and a pod of cardamom. Top tip doing the latter will make your rice smell NEXT LEVEL delicious.

    I haven’t made curry in a while so the dal was a bit too watery, and the prawn curry is spicier than I thought because I just chucked in random bits of unidentified curry powder(s) from the bottom of empty jars to tidy up the spice cupboard a bit. And I’m never using Coles brand coconut milk again. But otherwise, delicious and satisfying! two pots of curry and a plate of rice on a stove

    Now to actually eat it.

        Aw it’s not a competition. I’ve had more energy this weekend but most days I couldn’t even rustle up what you could. Mind you this is like 5 meals worth of curry, I ended up putting some in the freezer. Might as well make it worth the effort

          Hehe it’s ok. I was just impressed by it.

          I’ve tried my hand in making curries as well and it does sometimes take a bit of time to do.

          I hope you’ll keep posting pictures of your meals.

    • Looks amazinggggg ❤️ whatever you do, don’t use Aldi’s coconut milk either. Couldn’t even eat the curry I made with that and I eat everything 🤮

        Uggggh yes I found that one out the hard way. I nearly threw up. Tbh I almost never use coconut milk anyway - of any brand - because there seems to be more weird shit in it than coconut cream.

        Anyway, Ayam brand 4 lyf - you could eat it outta the can
