"This chicken curry is so rich and creamy, it should come with a warning label: Dangerously delicious!"
Creamy Chicken Curry – Special Memories in Every Bite:
Growing up, my mom was the ultimate cook in our family. She could make the most mundane ingredients taste like a gourmet meal, and her dishes were always the highlight of any family gathering. Maybe it was because I was born from her womb, but I always felt like I inherited her cooking skills.
As a child, I never had to cook. Mom always did that for us. When my sisters grew older, it was their turn to help with cooking, and by the time they got married and moved out of the house, I was already deep into my corporate career and we always had a cook to take care of meals at home.
But even though I rarely had to cook, I always wanted it to be the best when I did. As a big-time foodie, I had a special connection with food and cooking. After my mom, I guess I am my favorite cook. I know it sounds vain, but that’s just me😜
Whenever I cooked, I wanted to feel what I was making. My senses were always on high alert, and I made sure that my entire neighborhood could smell the delicious aromas emanating from my kitchen. Maybe that was a big part of my mom that got rubbed off on me.
One special memory that always comes to mind is when I decided to make this delicious and creamy chicken curry for my mom on her 70th birthday. She loved it to the moon and back, and it made me feel proud that I could create something that could make her so happy.
Sadly, two years after that birthday, my mom passed away. But this recipe will always hold a special place in my heart because of the joy it brought her.
Goodness gracious, I can be quite the storyteller when I get going, but enough about that. Let’s cut to the chase and get to the most exciting part: making this delicious recipe!
