A bowl of somewhat lazy tomato based curry made with stew beef and served with jasmine rice, some toasted naan with garlic honey butter, and garnished with some cilantro :)

(Somewhat lazy because I cheated making the “sauce”, using a jar of curry sauce in addition to the aromatics I fried up, supplemented with a bunch of additional spices)

    I used to do a chicken tikka masala in the crockpot - it froze well, and once I figured out what I was doing it became pretty effortless aside from the prep work.

    My presentation never, ever looked like that, for sure. I was in workaholic mode back then, which was part of the appeal, and “didn’t have time” for that kind of nicety. But it froze well in single-serve portions on top of the jasmine rice. Mic, stir, and go.

    Makes me want to run to the store, but no way I’m picking up worthwhile spices at Ruler Foods. Sounds like it’s time for me to make a Penzey’s Spices order, tho, unless you have a better suggestion for that stuff.

    The rest was all off-the-shelf in any random grocery store. Nice and easy, and the wife doesn’t like it so I can go as heavy on e.g., cayenne as I want. Definitely a win…
