yearsandyearsandyears ago, Nate and I sat, on our newly carpeted floor (we had no kids who would spill or make messes) next to our Japanese friends eating curry for the first time. Lucky us, our dear friends were also our neighbors. Naomi surprised us with dinner, bringing over bowls for all of us.
I remember eating it, thinking how good it was- and looking up at Nate who looked at me the exact same moment. He had the look in his eye like he had just found gold. From then we were hooked. I, being nosy ol me, had to ask for the recipe. Thank goodness it was easy. I wasn't much of a cook back then. I worried more about studying and finals, and playing- than I did about cooking.
The Answer was this simple box.
Even though I have made this dinner hundreds of times EVERYTIME I pull out the box I feel like its in code. takes me forever to decipher it.
Naomi had cooked the "hot" version for us, but now we always just get the mild. The rest, I cook just like her. I tried it in a crock-pot this last time and it was 10x easier than in a pan. BUT it can be cooked either way. stove-top or slow-cooker.
The box is really just a paste of spices. so easy. It saves you the time of opening 100 different bottles of spices. measuring. closing the spices. then reorganizing the spice cabinet to make them all fit again. right?!
