Interesting dish. I must admit that I am like the Indians and prefer to have beef, lamb or mutton in my curry

You certainly make this dish look and sound very tasty. No problem with the colors.
Now I have a hankering to stop by the local Indian market to pick up some curry leaves..

@Foodhoe: it really does smell like curry. it’s kind of amazing. that said, it’s nothing like as pungent as the ground root, but has a lovely lighter fragrance.

I thought you did quite well with the photos actually. I have just discovered a small Indian restaurant here, which also imports some things. Luckily though, I do have a curry tree, so can pick what I need.

I love the vibrant colors in your pix! Looks delicious, I recently was introduced to halloumi, although we ate it plain because I was with a group of Minnesotans who miss the squeakiness of the cheese out here. I’ve never used a curry leaf, does it really smell like curry?

@Joan – you’re too kind. we try…
@Deana – thanks. Punning is almost a lost art, although our friend Peter at http://www.acookblog.com/ does his utmost to keep it alive.
@Heather – I understand making paneer is easy, but requires, like all cheesemaking a delicate touch with the heat source. Best of luck. I tried making cottage cheese once but made a pool of scorched milk and a smelly sticky stove.

Lovely recipe. I always buy the fresh curry leaves, use 2 and then they rot in the fridge… oh well. If I was a good person I would do a whole banquet using the leaves in many dishes…but I’m not! Your title is amusing… so rare to see puns these days… a lost art.

Have you ever made paneer? Easy as could be… you’d love it.

Ha! I put our household on a vegetarian-ish diet recently, too. Now that I’ve stopped shooting clotted cream out of my breasts, I really don’t need those 700 extra calories a day, and it’s just easier to eat more vegetables than make other sacrifices (*cough*booze*cough*).

I never really think of Indian food as being lighter fare, but I do live in a part of the country where we only get northern Indian restaurants (even though it’s other southerners that actually live here). I love the idea of making paneer, though, and it seems like a great intro to cheesemaking.

You are so witty! Love the title and dialogue here…and I’m sure the dish tasted good. I trust you!
