Red Snapper Curry with Fenugreek & Lime
Happy New Year! Hope you all had a wonderful break. I am so glad to be back in the kitchen cooking something other than mince pies again!
For the last couple of years I rolled out the new year on the blog with a post about resolutions – namely food resolutions. Two years on, I realize that I didn’t make much effort past January to get these resolutions done (I’ve still not made harissa or kefir), so this year, I’m not going to create my own feeling of failure by making any resolutions that I wont keep.
Like resolutions, the detox seems to be a favoured January theme. I’m not doing a detox, a no sugar January, a whole 30, or am I giving up coffee (why???). Instead I’m choosing to place my efforts this January in a 30 days of yoga challenge at my fab local yoga studio Yogarise Peckham. It’s the perfect excuse to binge on yoga in aid of a challenge? Sounds perfect to me.
So that’s my commitment, along with drinking more water and easing off developing dessert recipes for a bit because…
Of course I am committing to cooking nourishing dinners from home as much as possible. This curry recipe featured in the Autumn edition of Harvest magazine is a perfect place to start. Harvest is a new print subscription magazine focusing on healthy living for a happy life. There are four editions a year and each one is full of recipes (some by yours truly), natural beauty tips, and other natural health focused articles.
This dish is super speedy – it takes around 15 minutes to cook, and features fenugreek – a new spice for Natural Kitchen Adventures and quite unlike anything I have made before.
Yeah girl! I don’t believe in resolutions, detoxing, quitting sugar, or any of that nonsense either! Mostly because I believe in developing a long-term healthy relationship with food over short-term deprivation, but also because I believe that the goals we set in the new year should be sustainable and maintainable. I love your yoga challenge – bringing yoga back into my life is one of my goals for 2015 but I’ve yet to figure out how to get it into my schedule. And it’s so important to know that size does not equal health. I know plenty of very lean people who do no exercise and eat like rubbish, and some who are categorically obese but are fit as fiddles. Getting out of the mindset that skinny = good or skinny = healthy is something I’m hoping society will get better at as time goes on. Wishful thinking maybe?
Thanks Katie for your spot on nutritional words of wisdom as ever. I do hope one day society will get there with the whole skinny thing. Not wishful thinking, but I think if more people (i.e us) help to spread the message that health is the most important (and easily obtainable) factor we have some chance of getting there!
By the way I have to say this yoga challenge has been a huge time commitment so I wouldn’t expect everyone else to commit to that – having a quiet freelance month which has justified it for me – but really am enjoying it! 3 times a week generally for me is what I aim for!
Happy New Year Ceri and good luck with yoga 🙂 as for the recipe, it’s great, like any other you post 😉
Thanks so much and to you too! Yoga going well so far and happy you enjoy the recipe too! 🙂
