Spicy Tin Fish Curry
A simple wholesome meal most of us grew up with, which was totally satisfying and delicious. A spicy tin fish curry with boiled eggs and peas and a side of fresh mini roti or soft white bread. I truly love simple foods we all grew up eating and I am never embarrassed of my old fashion culture foods instead I celebrate these foods for bringing back those childhood memories.
