Some of my friends love curry but yet they can’t take too spicy!
That was a potluck gathering we had in a friend’s house. And I have made a Curry which is not spicy and I was trying to make the curry without adding those ready made Curry Powder.

With all the raw ingredients I bought… went through blending and cutting. I was also making my own seasoning taste for the curry. I was quite happy that the Curry turn how reddish, not too oily and yet not too spicy…
And this recipes ~ NOT USING COCONUT MILK...

That curry looks lovely! I am having trouble getting my son to eat curry because he cannot take it even the slightest bit spicy. I thought this would be a great recipe to wean him on it, but then I noticed the cili padi in the ingredients. I guess it should still be ok if I leave that out? I can get fresh chillies here which tends to be less hot than those in M'sia.

Hi Carol,
Thanks for dropping by here. Will have more dishes post coming up :)

Hi little corner of mine,
I look young?! Thanks Thanks… how I wish I can go back to 25yrs old.
Abt cooking, I always standing at the kitchen door just to hope my mom give me a chance to help her. Then the next is, if mom is not at home, I will modify her recipes and also digging out all her storage to play my real “masak-masak”. Now I’m staying my own, and play with my own real one. :) How I wish I can own a restaurant… haha

Hi Cynthia,
Hope this is more eyes’ attractive to all my readers. Let me know if u have tried my mixtures aromatics curry. I created it my way without using the coconut milk. Turned out great :)

Hi Hazel,
Thanks for dropping by again… learn on cooking, u will like it.

Hi yammylicious,
This is really suit to those who doesn’t take spicy but they still have a chance to take curry.

Hi big boys oven,
Thank thank thanks a lot for telling me all the tips.

Hi Hazza,
Try this recipes and I’m sure your son can accept. Take out the bird eye chilies and change it to more normal Red Chilies, it will be nicer for those who can take spicy.

Hi wandering chopstick,
Thanks for dropping by here. Yes, that is “Torch Ginger”… lovely aromatic herb that we usually use it to cook curry, or other spicy recipes. People is Thailand and North Malaysia using it together with lime’s leaves for fried rice too. It doesn’t taste like normal ginger, cos normal ginger is normally spicy, but Torch Ginger only come with a nice aromatic smell but non spicy.

Hi Jadepearl,
Thanks for dropping by my BigFish Cook Book too. Try this, really not bad!

Hi I cook4fun,
Yes, this is definitely a healthier version. I don’t actually like coconut milk so much, that’s y I was thinking to try my own recipes. But turned out Great! :)
