On the Menu: Lamb Curry and Roti
Our chef for the day Mona cooked traditional lamb curry and roti (flat Indian bread), which she skillfully explained how to prepare, step-by-step. However, Mona also explained that we can also put all the ingredients for the lamb curry into a pot or slow cooker, cover it with a lid and leave it for an hour to cook.
It was really fascinating to watch her explain to all the participants about her passion for the food. The smell of the curry was so wonderful and made my mouth water!
All the participants shared the delicious meal together afterwards while Mona sat and watched us eat, as she's fasting for Ramadan*.
*(During the month of Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting, Muslims must refrain from eating, drinking, smoking and sex from dawn to dusk. It is intended to teach Muslims about patience, spirituality, humility and submissiveness to God. Source: Wikipedia)
