    This looks absolutely scrumptious! Thank you for sharing--I'll have to try this. soon.

    Quick question: What variety of red chili do you use? (My local grocer stocks at least 3 that I can think of.)

    @ Shelle: Thanks for the comment. There's one type of red chili available during the winter season. It's red Jalapeno. (As shown on the first picture) The chili is not that spicy (hot) though.

    This looks like a winning recipe although I am not overly fond of 'curry'.

    We are going to try your Pineapple Curry with Prawns ASAP, because my wife, Dr. E. loves pineapple and prawns, although, like me, she does not normally like 'curry'.

    Thank you for sharing.

    Hello from just past south of the border. The shrimp curry looks delish. I recently made a Chicken Kapitan Curry, it really made a difference when made from scratch. I enjoy reading your blog as well as all the sumptuous meals you've whipped up! Look forward to more mouth watering recipes. Happy New Year!

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
