About Curry

I have considered curry as a nice addition, instead of a necessity to my diet since the unstable adolescence period. Curry spices up my otherwise dull food consumption but too much spices hinder my taste buds from making out the true flavor of food. Portion of curry is also important. Ideally, there is just enough of curry to go with the rice -  too much curry sauce will inundate the leftover rice, leaving them soggy and unrecognizable.

I've tried different kinds of curry and was pretty sure over what kind of curry would best fit into my diet - the kind that blends in with and even makes better the taste of the other ingredients, and never shall it overshadow the savor of the other components. A difficult requirement, I reckoned. And since I was perfectly content with the other food choices, I have not had curry since the underwhelming choice a few years ago. Then, towards the end of last year, I came across with an amazing type of curry that I thought would be a perfect fit to my brown rice and had become quite addicted. It comes with a unique aroma and yet, unyielding in its signature flavor and at the same time highly sensitive towards the ingredients around. It has come to occupy a large part of my diet though sometimes the spices was too strong and has brought tears to my eyes. It also takes time to discover what goes best with this curry and to this point admittedly, I am still in a state of confusion after some recurring but unsuccessful attempts in incorporating it fully into my diet. My cooking skills isn't great to start with and the uniqueness of the curry was perhaps out of my reach. My frustration mounted even though I honestly thought my stomach was not that hard to please. But my parents probably know better - I have a limited capacity for spicy food in general.

The acquaintance proved short-lived. It was never my intention to part ways with something that I liked and still like so much, especially without exhausting the recipe choices. I did not give up but when a curry turns cold, there is nothing further one can do.
