Curry

recipe link

(this is my own take on the recipe, does not match completely. also, i have not actually tried making it yet :P)

Recipe

cook in rice cooker or pot.

(if adding legumes or fresh meat, pay attention to cooking times!!!!!!!!! especially for beans it would be better to cook/half-cook separately and then turn it into curry)

  1. ADD curry powder(or block), to vegetable/chicken broth/water
  2. START heating
  3. ADD potato slices, veggies, apple slices, and a protein such as legumes or chicken
  4. COOK ingredients throughly. while waiting, prepare coffee if using fresh
  5. ADD red wine
  6. ADD honey, cinnamon, salt, sesame seeds, soy sauce, instant/brewed coffee, cocoa powder/dark chocolate, cornstarch/potatostarch/flour, and yogurt/applesauce/mashed banana/tomato sauce
  7. (if by this point you haven't added any meat or dairy, then make sure to add a healthy fat! (e.g. olive oil)
  8. SIMMER for a bit
  9. ENJOY
