We have been living in the Philippines for over 4 years and yesterday my wife made curry. @ronafe makes the most incredible curry! So I asked a few questions about what makes her curry so delicious.

The first answer, I already knew. She takes a cocunut (we have 43 trees bearing fruit) and she grinds the coconut meat, then soaks the ground up cocunut in water and squeezes the milk out of the mixture.

This cocunut milk is used for the base or broth of the curry.

Then she grinds tumeric and ginger out of our garden. The post is about the Tumeric

The great thing about growing your own food, you know exactly what has happened to the food. Ours no pesticides and only organic fertilizer.

Here is the Tumeric plant

There are so many health benefits to consuming Tumeric. We put it in as many foods as possible. Also our own ginger, lemongrass, moringa, and many other healthy foods and herbs.
