Looking for a new and tasty side dish for your thanksgiving dinner? This one is a winner! I personally love all things curry. It’s such a flavorful spice and you can add it to almost anything. Beef, chicken, tofu and shrimp. Pan fry, deep fry, stir fry… pineapple, lemon, coconut, pepper… name that movie!
Curry is definitely an acquired taste. Start out with a mild amount if you’re still a little unsure. Throwing in a little sweet to the spice tames it a bit and gives it a flavorful combination you’ll be sure to love! I served this last year and it was a hit! Definitely on repeat this year! Enjoy!
