Curry Powder

I probably should have called this post Keep Calm and Curry On in light of our earlier one (see “Keep Calm and Carry Yarn“)! I absolutely love curry in all its forms (even if it is murder to get out of your clothes), but I never knew it was so varied and present in so many Asian cultures. This fascinating post about curry over at the Asian Grandmother’s Cookbook gives a little history as well as a tasty-sounding recipe for Vietnamese Chicken Soup. I love the sound of the sweet potatoes and I will definitely be experimenting with different curry powders in future (and making my own–here’s a homemade curry powder how-to with great photos of all the different spices mixing together).
