Curries are possibly our favourite meals of all time, especially on a Saturday.

We both like spicy food for different reasons – him because he’s “MAN”, me because then at least I have to have some self control as I don’t want my mouth to be too burnt so that it prevents me from  eating my chocolate!

This is a curry I’ve been doing for years, as with the gnocchi recipe I have NO idea where it’s come from, it’s written down in one of my cards in my recipe box and I like making this to pretend I’m a proper grown-up chef.  Yes I’m aware how that sounds.
