I love a curry - but it can't be too spicy - I can't do spicy. I got home the other evening and just fancied something quick, tasty and healthy. I made this and it was delicious. Why not give it a go?

This is a great quick recipe for when one doesn't feel like too much prep or cooking time. I would also say, having read your day in the life of a stay-at-home mum, there is no reason why you couldn't give this to your little boy if you omit the chilli. Your description certainly brought back memories for me as I worked from home when my sons were young (and eventually homeschooled them) I believe that time when they are very young is precious and you will not regret your year off to spend that time with him. Keep these recipes coming, and thank you for taking the time to share!
