Deb’s Chicken Curry with Pastry 🥐🩶
The secret to a man’s heart they say is through his stomach. I think this dish is one of the reasons my hubby and I are still married 😂 Food is powerful!! This is one of my hubby’s favorite meals that I made for him when we first got married. We are suckers for Indian food and spicy foods and this one brings back memories but it’s our absolute comfort foods especially now that weather is getting colder, curl up on the couch with a big bowl of this scrumptious bowl and it will comfort your soul 😋
Hope you love it as much as we do!
