So my mom used to make this dish when we were kids. We’re Assyrian, so it’s a yellow curry with a middle eastern twist to it. It’s one of my favorite dishes she used to make for us.

A few years ago, I started to make some home made dishes at home, I called my mom and I was like “I need you to tell me exactly how to make this dish” and so I wrote it down, I typed it out actually, and it has a lot of curry stains on it but I always refer to it when I make it. I just wanted to make sure I got all the details down.
