I have loved curry since I was wee thanks to a set of nannies I had as a small child.
I have evolved far beyond my Irish boiled meat and potato roots thanks to being raised in Toronto by two very culturally aware parents. Although they might not know it...they were both the original pioneers of food exploration for me and for that I am most humbly grateful.
Many years ago I acquired an authentic Indian cookbook that was produced in Kitchener by a famed local Chef,
Bharti Vibhakar. The cookbook should still be available at her
Spice of India store in Kitchener (more contact details are given in the first link...she operates a stall in the weekly Kitchener market downtown too). The recipes in her fabulous cookbook are vegetarian but the mix of spices have enabled me to create many a fine curry over the years. This curry (like most) tastes even better the next day.
And P.S. I'm working on gluten/diary/legume free chapatti ;)
