THERMAL COOKER - MIXED VEGETABLE CURRY

It is so easy to cook a lovely mixed vegetable curry using the Thermal Cooker.  The difference is only water, add less water compared to cooking in a normal wok.
The curry is thick, aromatic and tasty.  The vegetables are soft but not soggy.  It stays warm in the pot for several hours. Nice.

Kimmy, this vegetable curry is delicious. I can see that the spice paste ingredients are full of flavors and aroma. Can just eat this alone with rice.

Hi Phong Hong, this curry is delicious and it is so easy to cook with the thermal cooker pot. I'm not afraid that the spice paste will be burnt without constant stirring. I just cooked a Pandan Curry Chicken yesterday, it was easy and good too.
