I first tried this curry when I lived in Hiroshima, Japan many years ago. I had tried other curries before, but this was very different and delicious. It is also very simple to make and I love the potatoes and carrots (big chunks for me!) along with the […]
I make enchiladas often because they are “comfort food,” especially in the winter. But they are delicious year-round too. This recipe surprised me a bit: It has milk and egg in the sauce! I never would have thought of adding that to an enchilada sauce. So, of […]
