Amma's Curries
I've always had a love for Indian Food, but found it was really heavy and made me feel uncomfortable. Luckily, my "Mother in Love" (my daughters Amma), makes THE BEST South African Indian curries EVER! The dishes she makes are all very clean, use minimal oil, and are packed full of protein, and tons of other nutrient dense ingredients. Many of the spices used in indian cooking have extensive healing properties, as well. I'm am so fortunate to have her show me the ropes, so I can teach my daughter Kaia and all of you! Read More...
