I forgot to include "Food" as a survey question, but have already had two votes for it, so here's a recipe for Malabar Chicken Curry
On our first night at Malabar Serenity, we ordered à la carte, and were very impressed. When the chef, Riheesh, came to ask us how we enjoyed the meal, we replied 'very much'. In the ensuing conversation, it was agreed that we would gladly eat whatever he chose to prepare for us. To say the least, we were not disappointed. In fact the only complaint we had about dinner is that we couldn't see it! The setting was stunning, but lit only by fairy lights wrapped around pillars, and a couple of candles at each table.
Here's what it looked like at breakfast, with G, El and Ky already seated.
All the dishes were astonishing, but one was exceptionally good - the chicken curry. As the chef/hotel has no plans yet to publish a cookbook, we requested, and received, a copy of the recipe. We haven't yet tried making this, and I'm reproducing the recipe largely verbatim, so I offer no guarantee that I've read it correctly or if the quantities work. (T = tablespoon).
Malabar Chicken Curry
Makes: lots
Time: no idea, not too long, I think
