This dish was comforting and tasty. It was definitely subtle, but the apples gave it a nice flavor, and the curry and cumin were a nice change from the types of spices my family and I usually use. I did reduce the curry to 1 tsp because my father doesn't like curry very much, but after eating it I think I might try to sneak in another tsp next time!

I prefer my curries to have a bit more kick but I'm adding an extra star because even my kids loved this one! My family doesn't like bell peppers so I cooked it with big chunks and removed them before serving it. This was easy and smelled awesome as it cooked! Will definitely use this again.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
