Red flag recovery curry 🚩➡️💚

Because if he comes back after disappearing for 3 business days with “sorry, been busy,” the only thing you should be entertaining is this spicy chicken curry.

Red capsicum for the red flags, spinach for the green flags we’re trying to manifest, and enough spice to remind you your standards should be higher.

- 2 tsp of garam masala
- salt, to taste
- 4 chicken thighs, cut into small chunks
- 2 medium sized capsicums, chopped
- 1/2 cup of water
- 1 tbsp of coriander to garnish, finely chopped

Method
1. Heat the mustard oil and sauté the dried chillies, onion and garlic
2. Once the onions start going translucent, add the spices and fry on medium heat for a couple of minutes, until fragrant
3. Add the chicken and fry with the spices some more for 2 minutes
4. Add the capsicum and water
5. Simmer on low for about 20 minutes
6. Garnish with coriander

I know i’ve been a little MIA… life + travel got a bit busy.

Spent some time in Germany 🇩🇪. Started in Heidelberg - the bakery culture there is insane. I’ve genuinely never seen that many types of bread in my life! Even the Aldi bakery section was elite 😍.

Also had a lot of German döner… like a lot. I get the hype now.

Tried German McDonald’s and the Mambo sauce??? Unexpectedly so good

Overall German pastries were amazing, coffee not so much (sorry).

Late night ice cream runs in the middle of Frankfurt were definitely a highlight.

Had some average Thai food but also one of the better lamb biryanis i’ve had in a while.

Now I’m in London 🇬🇧 for a bit, thinking of getting back into cooking content again..
and maybe… finding a British husband along the way 😭 (the accent 🥵).

Send me your London food and/or husband recs in the comments or my dms 😩😂.
