Curry, Comfort, and Childhood Memories: Why Yellow Cucumber Will Always Have a Special Place in My Heart:
Growing up, my mother had her go-to dishes that she would make on busy days, and one of them was this yellow cucumber with boiled eggs that I wasn’t particularly crazy about as a child.
I would groan at the thought of having to eat it. I found the dish to be bland and unexciting. I was more interested in gobbling down the boiled eggs than anything else.
But as I grew up, I started to see the light. I realized that yellow cucumber is a water vegetable that fills you up without making you feel heavy, and it’s packed with all sorts of good-for-you nutrients.
My second sister, on the other hand, has always been a huge fan of this dish. Even after getting married and moving away, she would always tell me that she could never quite replicate the taste of Mom’s yellow cucumber curry.
And, after Mom passed away, my sister would crave it and ask me to make it for her whenever she was feeling sick or in need of some comfort food. She said that I make it just like our mom did, which is the ultimate compliment.
Now, as an adult living on my own, I continue to make this dish on busy days when I need something quick and satisfying. It’s a great way to incorporate more vegetables into my diet without sacrificing taste.
And, every time I take a bite, it reminds me of my dear Mom and the memories we shared around the dinner table.
It’s funny how our tastes change as we grow older. What was once a dish I disliked has now become one of my favorites. It just goes to show that sometimes, it takes a little time and maturity to appreciate the simple things in life, even when it comes to food.
So, the next time you’re looking for a nutrient-packed meal that won’t leave you feeling heavy, give yellow cucumber and boiled egg curry a chance. Who knows? You might just discover a new favorite dish, and your taste buds will thank you for it.
