Curry Fail :-(

I'm a little disappointed with my dinner tonight. Ive been trying to get back in to my challenge of making two new things a week and had picked out a Bombay shrimp curry with coconut rice, but I'm afraid it turned out a bit crap :-(

Hubby likes a good curry and used to spend hours pottering in the kitchen, toasting spices, marinating meat and slowly bubbling it all together to perfection so I had a lot to live up to (and was quite possibly insane to even attempt it!)

I found the recipe in my favourite foodie magazine, Cooking Light, but it was part of a speedy cooking special and I guess there are no real shortcuts to a good curry! Hubby seemed quite horrified to hear that it called for a generic curry powder!

As usual, I asked Hubby what he would do to make it better, and he read off a whole list of things that basically meant "find another recipe"! Perhaps I will consult his copy of the Madhur Jaffrey Curry Bible next time ....

Unfortunately it was all there was for dinner and, like a good boy he ate it all up, but I think it goes without saying that it will not be gracing the Kavanagh dinner table again ....!!
