Penang curry

The son who does everything has give his permission for me to give you his recipe for Penang curry.  This curry is full of flavour and has little heat so it is good to serve to children as well as those adults who don't like it hot hehee. We ate this for dinner tonight and everyone wanted more.

  2. I 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.
    Thanks for finding me.

    1. Nanci, thankyou for your comment, it's good to know there are more reasons to eat curry other than it tastes good.
