9:10 PM

This Thai Red Curry with cauliflower made for lunch is the most warm and comforting food I have tasted. The last couple of weeks has been very taxing as far as work goes for me, managing home, office and keeping a balance is always a challenge for me and this always leaves me in a dilemma what should I cook which can be made in a jiffy and yet flavorful and comforting. This red Thai curry fits to my requirement perfectly.

For the last one month I was unable to contribute to Cooking from Cookbook Challenge which is a group of bloggers who will be cooking from their offline content and blogging on the weekends for a month. I have received this Simply Nigella cookbook from Better Butter.in for the Chicken & Mutton Challenges hosted by them where my Chicken Rezela recipe has been selected. You can check this recipe which was awesome. This book has got some awesome recipes but most of the recipes uses ingredients which is not available at my place. So I settle down to try this simple recipe which was awesome in taste.
