EATS I love and the Nutrition Guru tells me the ingredients I often use to make them are very good for you. I think people often believe that cooking with a curry means that a dish will be hot and burn your mouth, which obviously not everyone enjoys. Though that isn’t the case. A curry paste can be made full of flavor, without the heat. All you have to do is leave the chilli’s out of the ingredients list! We will often cook a curry if we have guests and simply make it without the chilli’s so that everyone can enjoy it regardless of their heat preference. For the people who enjoy spicy heat, I simply chop up red chilli’s and serve in a bowl in the centre of the table for guests to add if they wish. Understandably, many people believe that making your own curry paste requires 20 different ingredients but that’s not necessary. A curry paste is perfect for a gift, especially for guys who like to cook. HEALTHY MAMA MAGAZINE 10
