We are having tonight what we had last night - I am cooking it all over again because IT WAS THAT GOOD!! and tonight, you get to share.
Firstly, you will note that 'Salina does not have a place at the table tonight. This is due to my suddenly working 11ty-thousand hours next week, which happens to be school holidays and what-the-ho - there is no vacation care left unbooked. She doesn't mind being shipped off to Auntie BB's, Grandpa certainly doesn't mind an offsider for his little mustering jaunts, and I hope Auntie BB doesn't mind the extra (ravenous) mouth to feed.
I miss her already, though.
But I don't miss having to wrack my brains for child-friendly versions of something so scrumptelicious as the following.
Got your bibs on?
Firstly, I am not retyping the recipe I found through Chef Google, instead I will give you the link for an excellent Madras Beef Curry from Taste magazine.
For the accompanying dish, I have to google my own brain, as it was one of my vegetarian staples from long, long ago.
Jeanie's Aussified Palak Paneer
Ingredients
- oil
garlic - few cloves minced- ginger - bout the same amount as the garlic
- good shake of cumin seeds

How to make it
- Heat up the oil
Add the spices and fry while you chop the onion- Add the onion and cook while you look for the can opener.
- The good news was I didn't need a tin opener, as I spent a week while rinsing out my eyes.
- Add the tomatoes and mush in with the spinach
check it out - cubies!! - Cook for a while and adjust liquid a little if required
mmmm - soylant green 
oops - if you forgot to put the lemon juice in with the onion - ahem - now would be a good time to do so!- Cube the feta and add
- Cook for another 10 minutes while your rice cooker does its thing
Eat!!
Beautiful with rice. And natural yoghurt. And nan/roti/chapati/heck, bread!

Mmmmmmm... yummo! I am so lucky that Boo's favourite food is curry so I don't need to come up with child-friendly recipes for me to indulge in my favourite food :)
I am so unlucky that today is clear fluids only for me today! But there is grandma's curry for dinner tomorrow night :)
I like your chopping board.
Did you make lots of extra so you can just reheat while you are working all those hours?
Ohhhh yuuummmmmm!!!!!!
Jeanie, this looks SO good I may just be tempted to set foot in the kitchen and actually cook something!!!!
Love the 'almost forgot' notes, too. They will be very helpful, thanks!
YUM!
That looks fantastic :)
Thanks for the invite, just as well I brought my own bib lol ;)
I am constantly astounded by all the different foods out there in the world and yet, tomorrow we're going to have...wait for it...chicken burgers. Ya.
Yours looks devine!
I was about to make a caramel cake. I think I will follow up with this, I have all the ingredients !!!!!!
My mouth is watering. Mr S LOVES curry with a capital L !!!
M+B - yes, I failed 'Salina in not expanding her tastes at the right time - I am hoping it will change in times to come.
Elizabeth - yes, there were leftovers for both V and I - and compliments from my workmates when I heated it up! The chopping board is fun - almost need a new one, though.
Alison - it is truly yum! I am sure tofu would work to keep the dairy component out if you needed.
Jayne - any time, mate.
Woman in a Window - chicken burgers have their place, but I recommend a little international food travel every once in a while!
Widdle Shamrock - I am not sure how it would taste AFTER caramel cake!
My mouth is watering - only found this post this morning (yearning for curry at 7.30am?). Salina was a delight as usual, and I think you should also post that roasted peppers and gnocchi thing you did when you were vego. Divine!!!
