Amazing how things can change in just a few short months. When I last posted months ago the world was only just starting to hear news from China about a thing called Covid-19. Roll forward a few months and now the whole planet is facing a global pandemic. Lock downs have become the new norm, and we are learning a new lexicon of terms like flattening the curve, social distancing, and PPE’s (personal protective equipment).

This week I have another recipe from fellow foodie Jen Pomeroy (www.themodernmess.com).
This Tomato & Coconut curry is a family favourite in Jen’s house, and is so quick and easy to prepare. Subtly spiced with the four different seeds, plus the fresh sweet cherry tomatoes really make the dish. The recipe came about as Jen had an oversupply of cherry tomatoes (always the way with tomatoes all ripening at the same time), one random eggplant, no legumes or meat, and chickpea flour and pantry staples. So thinking cap on and voilà and hour later a dish the whole family loved.
The pudlas are great to serve with a curry and so versatile. Plus kids love them! They are a thin crepe/pancake originating from India, and the batter consistency when mixed is like cream. The mix keeps well in the fridge so feel free to double it and crank some out for breakfast or lunch. This recipe makes 2 cups, so about 8 small crepes. You can add spices like cumin, or fresh grated ginger, or even grated vegetables in to the mix.
Chickpea flour is available at the supermarket, but the best place to buy it is at the Indian grocer or the organics shop.
Enjoy!
