The Continuing Saga...

Last week I shared with you Emily's first adventure in cooking and the pictures of her journey to lovely brownies. The very next day she asked her father and I when she could fix us dinner. We had quite a few leftovers in the refrigerator that I was trying to use up, so I assured her as soon as we polished them off I would oversee her dinner preparation efforts. A few days later when the fridge was once again barren of the remnants of days gone by, I let her make her first complete dinner. "What did we have that day?" you ask. To which I reply, "Yellow Chicken Curry a favorite in the Stewart household."



For those of you who might not be familiar with curry recipes, curry is an aromatic spice used widely in India. We use both powdered yellow curry, found at our local Amish bulk food store, and red curry paste which comes in a jar. I prefer Patak's Original Hot curry paste which can be found at several grocery stores or online. For those of you who would like to try this recipe but like your dishes a less bit spicy, I would suggest the mild curry paste. Our curry recipe is in essence like a stew that we  put over minute rice and is replete with carrots, potato slices, and chunks of chicken. Served with toasted, buttered french bread it is a delightful trip to an exotic land without leaving the comfort of your own dining room.



Because we opt to use canned carrots and canned sliced white potatoes this recipe is not only delicious, but fairly quick to make taking only about a half an hour give or take five minutes. So without further ado, here is Emily's first lesson in making an entire dinner.
