This delicious beef curry was made (by Mariko) with leftovers from our Thanksgiving meal. No, it’s not made of leftover turkey, but from the leftover pot roast we served alongside the turkey. Since the pot roast had carrots and potatoes, it was perfect to re-purpose as a curry. Add a couple of soft-boiled eggs, and you have a perfect meal. 😊🍛

Today Mariko and Bay returned from their vacation in New York City, and on the way home from the airport, Mariko said she wanted to make “quick curry”. 🍛 Of course, I thought it was a great idea, especially after eating bachelor meals for the past week. Well, Mariko’s “quick curry” tonight was amazing! Thinly-sliced beef, onion, carrot, and egg made a hearty and filling meal. What a way to celebrate returning home. 😌
I hope you had a nice day!

Today we made two excellent curries: Aloo Matar (potato and pea curry), and Sri Lankan chicken curry. We had planned the Sri Lankan curry before the awful bombings happened, so that gave me several moments of pause while we were preparing the meal. Very sad news…
Before making the curries, I cooked a huge batch of Indian onion masala in our Instant Pot, some of which was used in the potato and pea curry. We froze the rest of the onion masala which will be great for our future curries!
Most of the ingredients can be found in supermarkets or smaller Indian markets nearby so we had most of them in the house. The curry leaves were the hardest to find, Mariko said, and had to be ordered online. I had never seen them before, so those were interesting to use.
I love curry so much, and these two will only satisfy me for a short time. In fact, I’m already thinking about Thai curry! 😄

As the temperature outside hovers around the freezing mark, it’s nice to stay warm inside and enjoy a plate of yummy Indian chicken tikka masala curry. A family-favorite, for sure! I cooked three cups of basmati rice in the rice cooker, and we added about a teaspoon of turmeric which gave it an amazing color.
By the way, we have been using our Staub pot to cook a lot of dishes lately, including this curry. It’s really great. It’s cast-iron and distributes the heat nicely. I think we prefer it over our Le Creuset pots.
By the way, the recipe (Japanese) for the chicken is here: Chicken Tikka Masala
I hope you had a nice day!

Yay, it’s curry nite at our house! This time it was beef curry with onion, carrots, and jalapeños. And of course, we had egg with it as is our custom. 😆 And tonight’s eggs had such a beautiful golden color to the yolk. Everything was yummy.
Koa is participating in the Austin Youth Orchestra this year, so he had rehearsal this evening. But before he left, he had to have his curry:
I hope you had a great Monday!
