The Curry That Isn't Really Curry.

I'm not one of those girls who will claim that being able to cook will land you a man. (or that you ever need a man period) But... having a solid recipe or two can go a long way towards scoring points with a potential mate.

This was one of the first dinners I cooked for my now boyfriend, back when i was still wooing him. He sat there dazzled and in awe of my culinary skills. i only just told him tonight that it was merely 7 ingredients.

The curry that isnt really curry.

Combine in blender :

1 can of coconut milk
nearly one whole bunch of cilantro
1/4 cup lime juice
2 thumb sized chunks of ginger
1 tablespoon curry powder (i used a green curry paste that is like fire. but regular yellow works too)

blend until smooth.
heat and pour over some basmati. And to really make it a solid meal, some big slabs of portobella (i am sure chicken works too)

I was asking the boyfriend how he would describe this and his reaction was "it's like, it hits your mouth and its like zip, like impactful. Like you know how MSG.... i don't. know i just take the photos."
Which reminds me. Yes he does!

All of the pornographic photos as of late have come from him. its not a bad trade. He just has to arfully snap a few photos of dinner and then he gets to eat the subject, and I in turn can justify spending a days worth of wages on infused oils. Successful working relationship.
