Before:

Dried chillies, curry powder, shallots, garlic, galangal, ginger, tumeric, lemon grass, curry leaves, kaffir lime leaves.

Presenting the plate with over seven incredible aromas. I feel as though I’m creating a spicy perfume that’s so full of earthy goodness and flavor, not to mention, amazing color flowing within.

As I was preparing each ingredient, the thought struck me: Wow, us South-East Asians are so privileged to be blessed by God with each of these exotic herbs and spices that are so rich with our history and culture. Never going to take a bowl of curry for granted now, provided it’s not the instant type, lol.
