Peas Corn Coconut Masala sounds so natural as a name. Believe me, curry is strikingly natural too. This is a quick curry, which is easy to make, healthy and packed with all the spicy flavour one can ask for.
Peas Corn Coconut Masala!
It’s a busy weekday, and at the end of the day we need something really nutritious to eat.
Sometimes it’s very hard to think about meal plans, when you have no clues.
Same thing happened with me yesterday evening. I was thinking about what to prepare for dinner, and then I went to the kitchen. Checked my refrigerator, but nothing was striking there. As I did not feel like preparing any of those time consuming heavy meals.
I wanted something quick and filler, yet spicy.
I found out, there were green peas and corn kernels in my refrigerator. Wow! It sounded so delish, when I imagined about pairing these two sweet veggies. I also found some natural yogurt. This would make something tangy and flavorful.
And I knew for sure, that everyone would love to eat this veggie curry
While collecting my ingredients I prepared my curry in my imagination, and you can understand, this made me hungrier. I could just feel having a spoonful of curry with steamed brown rice. Mmmmmm, nom nom nom. 🙂
I know, It’s funny, but sometimes imagining something is real fun too, especially when you are obsessed with certain kinds of things. And I have to admit that my obsession lies in any kind of spicy food.
Yes! Curry, curry, curry. I could make curry everyday, I could eat curry everyday. That’s how I am. I am also aware of that, it would eventually be boring after a while.
That’s the only reason I don’t make it everyday 😉 In my opinion, there should be perfect balance in desires and needs, and I always try to keep them balanced.
Let’s talk about this delicious curry!
Peas Corn Coconut Masala sounds so natural as a name. Believe me, curry is strikingly natural too. This is a quick curry, which is easy to make, healthy & packed with all the spicy flavour one can ask for. Just look at that alluring yellow corn kernels, and bright green peas.
They both are made for each other and complementing each other by making it better in taste and looks.
I could sense, that there is something strangely addictive and comforting about this quick curry. Is it yogurt, or is it coconut? Well, I think both are winners. Yogurt makes it tangy & creamy. Coconut makes it thick, royal & rich.
