Fish curries don’t seem to be as popular as chicken, lamb or vegetable curries. It’s too bad, because fish curries are really good.

From time to time, one needs to “cook the pantry/fridge”. Things accumulate and are pushed to the back. So being in self-isolation, now and again, one needs to look deeply into the crevices that things slide into…like that box of partially used, dry falafel mix.
