Singaporean Curry
I am not 100% sure exactly whose dish this is: Indian, Malay or Chinese, because everyone in Singapore cooks this curry… Curry with potatoes eaten either with toasted sliced bread, rice, roti prata or baguette. Nevertheless, it is something we are so familiar with.
I like to cook mine from scratch simply because I don’t really like to keep packets and packets of paste. My staple of spices are quite simple when it comes to cooking: cumin, coriander, turmeric and chilies. I’ll also always add ginger, onions, and garlic. Lemon grass is a luxury item for me, since I don’t live in Asia most times of the year, so is Kaffir leaves or others.
This is the kind of curry paste my mum always makes. However, I have recently learned to make ghee. So I make the ghee right before I make the curry. This discovery has brought my cooking to the next level. It is wonderful!
