Spice experiments - Wild Boar Curry & Prawn Laksa

I have been experimenting. Mainly, because I have been missing my mum's cooking and wanted to eat really tasty food.

Jungle Curry aka Wild Boar Curry

Wild Boar Curry

Got wild boar from the Alternative Meat Company. Love that place.

Made the curry just like a normal curry using Deema's Spices but had to cook it for much longer as thought it need too. Not sure why!

It was ok. Not great. I think it needed to be more fatty as that is how I remember having it. In the good old days people were not concerned about bad fats!

Next time will use the great wild boar for a caserole I think.

Prawn Laksa

Prawn Laksa

Now, I have made Laksa before but never made it using Deema's Spices before. Wow. It was good. Even if I say so myself.

Just follow any normal Laksa recipe. I am a big fan of Ottlenghi so I used his but cheated and was lazy so didn't grind stuff. The men in my life complain about eating branches and leaves but roughage is good for you!
