A note about curry
When we refer to curry, we're really referring to sauce made up of a variety of ingredients such as ginger, garlic, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, mustard seed, and coriander that are combined with tomato sauce and coconut milk. However, if you're like me, you might think of curry as a prepared powder. If you don't have a favorite store bought curry powder, you can make your own. I've provided a link to learn more about curry.
