Last Dish for the Year


This is the last dish I’m cooking for the year…a vegetable curry of sorts. It has always been a personal favourite of mine, as i love veges and curries. I have not cooked it before however, as kiddo doesnt touch curries and there is simply too many ingredients for a dish like this for just the 3 of us. I had to get

cabbage, beans, potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, carrots, cauliflower, tofu puffs, ginger, garlic, onions, mung bean vermicelli, bay leaves, coconut milk, curry powder, garam masala, basil, corriander, cardamons, etc….

I slaved for over an hour, peeling, slicing, chopping … actually this can be the best time of a day. I’d put on a CD, fill my glass with my personal “Chateau Embankment” (usually cask wine which I use mainly for home consumption as I stand over the stove) and just enjoy the cooking process.

For me, it is usually coming up with the idea for a dish which is the worst part. Once I have decided what I want to cook, the rest is basically a mechanical process and I’d just go with the flow, aided only by a glass (or 2) of red (or sometimes a white). I dont know what the end result is like, usually…just what I myself would have liked to eat. Something like this, perhaps.

As always, I hope no one gets sick from this tonight. Happy New Year, everyone.

“So, I commend the enjoyment of life.” (From the Bible – really. Eccl 8:15)

  1. Wow, looks really good (the curry I mean,….not a lover of red wine). I think you are a great cook. I can see the colour of the curry is just perfect.

  2. Judy,You are being very kind (as always). The colour was better than the taste, I thought. Something was missing, although I myself enjoyed it.Ian
