Yummy, Healthy, Vegetarian Curry!~ Katey-Anne


YUM YUM YUM. Now, before you all cower at the thought of vegetarian food I would like to point out that this does no contain any Quorn or typical vegetarian delicacies (which as a veggie I  absolutely love!) it just does not contain meat. 
I first made this recipe in a food lesson around four years ago and have loved it since, arguably because it's the only recipe I can actually cook (lol) .
Now as I'm not one for 200 grammes three carrots and half a piece of lettuce, the measurements will be a tad ish and a bit off but I think that's the best way and you can change it to the amount of people you wish to cook it for!

Step one) Buying the goodies. 


  • An onion.
  • Potatoes.
  • Carrots.
  • Peppers.
  • Spinach. 
  • Aubergine.
  • Chopped tomatoes in sauce. 
  • Chick peas.

 Step Two) Chop,Chop, pour. 


This next step is the boring bit unless you have Master Chef skills and can chop carrots in thirty seconds. Prepare all the veggies and patatoes ready for cooking:)


Step Three) Cooking.


I started by cooking the carrots and potatoes so they would be really soft a light I only did this for around 10 minutes before proceeding to through everything In and cook on full heat for twenty minutes before cooking on low for almost an hour. During this time I added a variety of different herbs to the curry and a small amount of coconut milk. 


Step Four) Serving.

I've always been told that curry should be eaten the day after it is cooked (http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/621522) So I left it in the fridge over night an re-heated it the next evening. I put my curry & rice in a cute blue serving tray. I was once again delighted with the outcome :) 



 Hope you enjoyed this different post today, let me know if I should do more like this :) 
Lots of love

Life with Messy curly hair~ Katey-Anne

half up half down how fancy!

be being all artsy and tumblr as per usual ya know 

just an excuse to post a miserable selfie  

I have often been asked the age old question; What's it like to have curly hair?

First of all let's get this straight I don't have ringlet hair or soft flowing waves as you can see, Instead I have rather odd curly/wavy hair that is different on different layers and changes the way it is as much the British weather. 

But despite that less than positive description I think recently I have decided I am actually 'ok' with the hair I have been 'blessed' with.

In my pre-teen and early teen years I was best friends with the straighteners and subsequently found my hair awfully damaged and since then I have made an effort to not put heat on my hair unless absolutely necessary. This does mean that all I have to do to get ready is wash my hair and let it naturally dry which is the biggest plus side to having curly hair because it requires minimal effort to style. 

Another benefit is that because of the curls it means that it is much easier to put in fancy up-do's if one should wish to do so. 

However,

Curly hair gets knotty ALL the time.

My hair gets greasy VERY quickly. 

Plus you can't run your fingers through your hair or brush it during the day if you want to avoid having a candy floss on your head. 


So, after that description I think I will stick to my usual answer to the question and say that 'I don't really mind, I'm used to it' 

Thank-you for reading my lovelies
leave a lil cheeky comment 
lots of love
