This whole week I have been thinking about chocolate and then hear it has also been curry week. Seriously I can't keep up!
I have eaten a lot of curries in my time and felt like cooking one that I did not discover in my mums kitchen but in an Indian restaurant.
The KORMA.
Some say this cuts corners compared to a traditional curry - I disagree.
I created a playlist that has many flavours but still keeps an Indian base.
