Chicken Curry
I grew up eating chicken curry with potatoes on a bed of fluffy basmati rice with a drizzle of desi ghee weekly. To me, this is comfort food at its best. It reminds me of sitting around the table exchanging the days events with my family. I’ve come full circle because now I do the same for my family and it always warms my heart to see my girls enjoy it as much as we did growing up.
