What’s for Brunch? My Curry Edition
Written by Maracatu on July 27, 2008 – 9:07 am -I don’t know what attracted me so much to curries such that they now constitute the only dishes I cook for myself on a regular basis. This makes me an oddity in my home (Puerto Rico) where spicy (hot) food is not normally a part of the traditional menu. I guess I can trace it to the West Indian side of my family where what passed as “curry” was that ubiquitous powder you used to purchase ready made in a little plastic envelope. I remember eating “curry goat” as a child and even curried rice. It wouldn’t be until much later that I came to learn of the true origins of curry, as well as the reasons why it is an enormous injustice to reduce the term to one simple mix in a ready made plastic envelope. Join me over the jump for an extremely brief incursion into the concept accompanied by a hybrid recipe of my own.
