Having found no Curry Houses in Jerusalem, despite a twenty minute walk following a route to a phantom location courtesy of Google Maps, there was a distinct desire for a Curry. There was also a need for some home cooking. A couple of hours after arriving at Kibbutz Ashdot Ya’akov (Me’uchad) where I had spent many summers between 1980 and 1996, I found myself in a supermarket in Tiberias.
Somehow all the spice ingredients for a curry materialised in my basket. The Chicken did look strange, it cannot be Halal, but it was certainly Kosher! A cauliflower was purchased at the Ichud shop as an ‘interesting vegetable’.
As guests of Orit and Chaz there was a simple way to thank them for their hospitality : a Curry was to be cooked, Orit was far from enthusiastic. Hector held back with the Chilli, there is no point making a meal if nobody can eat it.
The famous Israeli herb mix ‘Za’atar’ was used, this could be a feature of all home cooked Curry henceforth.
A feed at last...and after the meal five baskets were filled with leftovers...
