Curry. It’s been a popular dish in our households over the past months. Jools’ husband has worked his way through many a curry book – and it seems to be catching, as many curries are in the plans for Field Cottage dinner over the coming weeks. Matt is even threatening to attempt Naan breads!
Today’s foray into the world of curry was a venture to Myanmar for this authentic Burmese curry. Lots of sour lime – lip smackingly good!
