With the weekend drawing closer....it is time for stirring up a good traditional Indian meal at home. I am planning mince and peas (Kheema matar) curry.
Kheema matar is a very popular Indian dish. It is a simple and easy recipe and will keep you'll posted on the recipe as well as a few clicks.
While this makes me think that for me curry with meat or veggies accompanied by chapati (Indian flat bread) is daily staple food as I come from India....but I was fascinated to see that so many people in UK not only know all about curries and naans but enjoy their bit of bite! There are curries in all forms available....dine in, take aways, ready to eat curry based meals in super markets, curry sauces to cook from, curry powders and I can go on.
I went on to read more about how these spices from East made their way through West and came across some amazing Curry Facts.
Thought to put up some these Hot and spicy Curry Facts for you to pause on:

- The origin of the word 'curry' can be traced back to the Tamil word 'kari' meaning spiced sauce.
- Chicken tikka masala remains the most popular Indian dish in British restaurants and it has been called "a true British national dish. It's thought to originate in Britain after an enterprising Indian chef had the idea of adding a tomato and onion paste to the grilled chicken – to satisfy the British preference for food that isn't dry.
- The word 'balti' means bucket.
· Chilli is the most popular spice in the world and can help combat heart attacks and strokes and extends blood coagulation times, preventing harmful blood clots.
· Indian food is the UK's favourite cuisine.
- Indian food now surpasses Chinese food in popularity, with Indian restaurants outnumbering Chinese restaurants by two to one.
- Indian restaurants in Britain serve about 2.5 million customers every week.
- The latest keynote survey reported that curry fans spent £480 per minute in supermarkets and a leading supermarket sells 1.1 million packets of chicken tikka masala each year.
