Today, I’m continuing a curry theme as I’m in the mood for spicy food tempered with soothing coconut these days. Today’s special in Lazy Cat Kitchen’s casa is a vegan version of a classic Keralan curry called Malabar.

It’s quite easy to make, filling and delicious (especially a day after it was made!). Forgive me a sad single photograph, but I didn’t start cooking until quite late in the day as I spent way too much time fussing over Snowy (full story here ) or Lupo (that’s Duncan’s newest name for our new arrival, let’s see if it sticks…) and by the time I finished cooking pretty much all natural light was gone… In my defense, Snowy (AKA Lupo) is not doing as well as we would have hoped by now. She has some nasty lung infection and her breathing is heavy and laboured and we are worried about her. She has been prescribed antibiotics and we are hoping they will help, in the meantime, apart from giving her the medication, we make sure she gets lots of food, water, warmth and cuddles, which will hopefully help her pull through. Fingers crossed as we’ve fallen head over heels with her already! Psst…don’t tell our resident cat, Tina, as she is pissed off enough already 😉
