My husband and I both grew up in Birmingham so naturally we are huge fans of Indian and Pakistani food. At least one night a week in our house is curry night and we adore it.
I love everything about curry night, I love how the whole house is filled with the scents of a thousand spices, the excitement the kids have coming into the kitchen repeatedly to see if its food time yet! I love that they all want to help make the naan breads and the shouts and screams that fill our house when it finally is “FOOD TIME!!!!”
I have yet to master cauliflower rice that my children will eat but my keto naans are a huge hit and you lucky people can find our recipe here.
This recipe has a lot of spices in it, if you don’t already have them in your kitchen I really recommend filling your spice rack as it’ll transform all your meals.
