Cooking Curry with the Preps

This semester, the Preps have been learning about India. One of the things that we have been discussing is Indian food and this week we made a yummy curry and ate some pappadums. All of the students tried our curry and many came back for seconds. Below you will find some pictures of this experience and also the recipe we used (just incase you would like to use it at home), that was provided to us by one of the Prep parents (thank you). Many of the Preps have told us that they have now had curry at home and we would love for parents to post their recipe below so we can discuss the different ingredients used.

                ½ cup Butternut pumpkin (diced to ~ 1cm)
