Curry = love
I've been obsessed with curry lately. I've even had reasonable success cooking with it, though I haven't been too ambitious.
The first couple times I tried to make curry anything (years ago) it was inedible, and considering some of the stuff I eat that's saying something. I can follow a recipe, but that takes all the fun out of it. I prefer cooking by the seat of my pants. Feel free to comment on my control-freak tendencies.
Lately I was making ramen (a shameful weakness of mine) and I wanted something extra. I added curry powder (slowly, in case it went awry) and it worked well. I love curry so I started adding it all the time, and using more of it. I mixed in another type of curry powder, added chipotle powder, and even started adding extra fenugreek, cumin and/or ginger. Extra fenugreek doesn't work, extra cumin gives it a bite I really like. Next I need to try tumeric and cloves.
Even more amazingly I've been able to eat most of these curry creations without getting them on my shirt! (Ok, a few of you will get that.) Unfortunately writing this has made me hungry for more curry. I didn't exactly need an excuse to eat more ramen, but oh well. :)
