In my adult life, I've lived mostly in large cities: Milan, Wuhan, Nashville... I love being able to eat all sorts of international foods and be around a mix of cultures. Monduli is quite different. If I want to eat out, there's chicken and french fries or chips mayai (basically a french fry omelet). That's really about it as far as options. There's a bit more in Arusha (Chinese, Indian, Greek, pizza), but not everything, and I don't get the chance to eat out there much anyhow. I don't mind cooking, but I do miss easily having a wider variety. So, I've been trying out some new recipes.
One of the foods I particularly miss is Thai food, which is not available even in Arusha. However, I found that curry pastes are available! I bought green curry paste (a mix of all the spices) and coconut milk, and made some pretty good green curry! It's not really all that green looking, but it tastes good. I put chicken, mushrooms, broccoli, and bell peppers in it this time and ate it with rice. Green curry is one of my comfort foods, so I'm really excited that I can now make it at home!
