So despite my unhealthy reliance on fast food, I can’t deny that a home cooked meal is preferable
And I’m sure no matter how old we may get, nothing will ever come close to our Mother’s cooking (or perhaps our friends mother’s cooking lol.)
So what are some of your favourite home cooked meals?
Your favourite secret recipes?
Your own failures to replicate your family’s special meals? Lol
Mine are mostly curry based, big shock lol.
But as a kid mum would sometimes, for a treat, make me what’s called Puri.
Which are essentially deep fried pancakes. And yes it’s as decadent as it sounds. It’s also really easy to make. Some wheat flour, salt and water, depending on the recipe. That’s it really.
It has many variants you can try.
Would often eat them hot and fresh with syrup or honey. And the leftovers can be eaten cold as a sort of bread with curry. Which is what would happen at lunch and/or dinner time.
Goat Curry. I love my all my aunties recreations, but nothing beats my ma’s lol
it’s a “richer” taste than say lamb, I guess and I like lamb curry too. I just prefer goat. Though if you choose the wrong one, it can be rather chewy lol
Potato curry is also one of the staples I had growing up, given that many of our festivals require us to go vegetarian for a while. And honestly that was an easy way for my mum to make me avoid meat as a kid, since I am rather carnivorous by nature lol
Crab curry, especially using what’s called “Giant Mudcrabs.” Or “muddies” as they’re called here
Omg if you ever get a chance to eat this, do so
I’m eagerly awaiting crab season (for Qld it’s December to July) so I can enjoy this dish. We curry the whole crab, shell and all. It locks in all the flavour and it’s one of my all time favourite seafood dishes.
What are some of yours?
