Foray into Indian cuisine

I find cooking to be incredibly therapeutic. Even though I prefer cooking for more people than just for myself, sometimes I like to take the extra time to make something tasty.

I love paneer mutter, with the peas and gingery, tomatoey curry, but it's like 40 kuai at the Himalayan restaurant...so I decided to experiment today. I googled for recipes, and like usual, didn't actually follow any of them and improvised instead. Both the paneer and curry turned out surprisingly beautifully--but I totally scorched the rice and may have damaged my pot beyond repair...Rice and I have a long history of incompatibility.

Everything took me maybe 1.5 hours, including making the paneer earlier during the day. Definitely worth it. There is no reason for me to go back to the Himalayan restaurant now.


Since I had no rice, I just ate it with toast.

Next on my list is to use the can of coconut milk I bought awhile ago but forgot about...Thai curry?
