Make curry at home so the whole family can enjoy it
Natural yoghurt is the perfect accompaniment to a hot curry because .... (am busy rearching now .... hahaha, I already know and you do too :-) )
We all know when you eat chilli that skulling a big glass of chilled milk (diluted with Tia Maria) takes away the hot. At my dinner table a bowl of natural yoghurt is always served along with mango chutney, because I love it so much as an accompaniment along with, of course, naan.
