Easy to understand recipes, and I just realized all the curry recipes use tomatoes (either puree or fresh). I know tomatoes give that 'umami' flavour, but they can be gout trigger for some people. (An excuse not to cook Indian food, I guess. Ha-ha)

And #TIL, the Indian word for 'almond' is 'badam', like in Malay.
