I’m sure you read the title of this blog post and rolled your eyes so hard they may not come out of your head, but hear me out!
I recently stumbled upon a curry recipe from Half Baked Harvest (my FAVORITE food blogger) and thought we’d give it a whirl. I made some modifications that I think enhanced the dish and made it more approachable. All 4 of my kids (even the baby) enjoyed this meal. I hope you all enjoy it too!
As always, let me know if you decide to make it!
