Curry dishes are very popular and usually well able to be prepared in advance. Most agree that the spices infuse into the food and the flavour improves with standing fora a day or so. Although fish dishes are the exception and are to be made the day you plan the eat them. We often enjoy the company of friends sharing curry dishes and have recently enjoyed these dishes.
Included here is a fish curry ( quite mild ) and some creative ways to present chickpeas (for vegetarian protein) and two potato dishes.
The Spiced New Potato and Spinach Curry ( Dum a loo) was hunted down by my friend Anne Marie. It makes use of a slow cooker. It is easy to prepare and the results are fabulous. The dish uses onion seeds also known as Kaloonji which we were pleased to find at the Indian Grocer near to us in Osborne Park. We were delighted to find a vast array of spices, lentils and flours. You may want to look around for a specialist shop like this near you so you can give your dishes that special something.
The stuffed potato cakes appealed as I was looking for alternative ways to make pastry dishes.
