RE: Okra Curry 🍛🌶️ For Chili Psychopaths 🤪

Yo Justin, we both seem to love simple but amazing food :)
At this moment my girlfriend is making her first magical meal (a red thai curry with potatoes and eggplant) after being away for 3 months (plus two weeks of quarantine)

You guys don't live far from where I grew up as a kid. I never really left the neighborhood, about one kilometer east to be exact :) so the distance will not be an issue. We should eat! ehm..meet! :)

ps: Thanks to you I get to taste this okra recipe real soon (keeping el fingers crossed)
Where did you find the garam masala?

pps: while writing this I went back to look at the pictures so I can try to imagine it passing through my chewing apparatus and tasting tool... Ow man...the mind is powerful

Wow, crazy to know we are so close. We’ll have to exchange contact info. I lurk in Discord on occasion.

Nice imagination by the way. Garam masala wasn’t easy to find, but the local Suriname masala powder is everywhere. I hate to say the flavor is too different to use it as a substitute.

We’ve always found most Indian spices at the Indian cultural supply stores, and on occasion even the Chinese shops.

I think I saw some at Weng’s on Franchepanestraat the other day.

Yeah, I agree on the available masala powder part. Much of the good stuff some folks get from Guyana or Trinidad. There is a marketplace not far from where I am that has many different kind of spices. Sometimes they have those rare difficult to find stuff if lucky.
Will send you a message via discord so we can set up a visit to this market to take a peek. Foodtrip....ehm...mini road trip! lol
