The Kerrie Pot ...

I invited my Family over for supper last night ,9 April 2015 at our new flat and decided to make a curry as I know its something my whole family would eat. I was thrilled to take the time out and show my appreciation for all the effort and time they have had towards my life ...

Like all good stories mine starts with a pot , the fact that i never had a big enough pot to cook for the whole family ... And because I work in the events and catering industry my work has relatively big post ,I Lie they have huge pots , I borrowed a pot that i thought would work only to find one of our staff member (being Muslim) Telling me to get a bigger pot with a better base, she eventually chose the pot for me , im quite good at making curry but when she heard i was making curry and got asked a million questions , like where am i getting my spices from , how am I going to make it ... So i explained to her id just go to pick n pay to get some usual curry spices .... Aunty Gigi was not impressed with me and insited on me ordering my spices through work and getting a driver to go fetch them in the Bo Kaap , she made me a list as well and a very brief description of how to make my curry .. Later in the day I was working by the accounts section at work and The accountant asked me what were my spices for i explained that I was inviting my family over supper and i was going to make supper , Coming from an Indian background she gave me her explanation of how to make curry .

That night i decided to take a bit of everyones advice and made a heartily Indian , Cape malay curry ,which to my surprise turned out completely different to how i would usually make it , Although the curry was not strong you could taste the flavors of all the spices ,everyone enjoyed it which i was super glad about.

Word of advice when working in the food industry ,if you're planning to cook supper be prepared for 1000 questions , and 2000 ways to actually make your home cooked meal ... The effort and advice really does go a long way.
