ReplyDeleteNot too much, it has a great flavour
DeleteI just read that curry is so good for you. People in India, have no dementia due to the curry it is said. I do love the flavour, but....the smells afterward bother my sweetie.
ReplyDeleteThanks for finding me.
Nanci, thankyou for your comment, it's good to know there are more reasons to eat curry other than it tastes good.
