Mum... Lemongrass please.

My mum has only found recently her green thumb.

Now her front and back yard is a tropical oasis with papaya in the front a mini mango tree, basil, mint, chili, pumpkin, winter melons in the back and also the beloved lemongrass.

So when i come to her front door there isn't a real need for lengthy conversations. I knock, she yells out and i reply " lemongrass please mum!". Its a beautiful relationship.

Lemongrass is very fragrant and has a lot of potential, one tip is not to overcrowd the dish with too many flavours.

I really enjoy using this next recipe that you can access through the link.


I add 1 or 2 sweet small thickly cubed sweet potato and any white potatoes with the chicken whilst frying.
The final step i add a can of coconut cream and a can of chicken broth or water. Then simmer till curry thickens.

Enjoy with Jasmin rice or Baguettes.
