The food I had made was quite delicious, it was something normal because despite how much I cook, I cannot do incredible recipes and I base them mostly off of what I learned in my previous life, and that's just some limited home-made recipes at most.
I had fluffy white rice, with red and orange-colored curry, which was made with an assortment of spices I had been collecting from all three sects. There were some citric fruits I used, some spicy, red-colored pepper-like fruits, onions, salt roots that taste like salty potatoes, green-colored garlic which has a more citric flavor, and other things I had been harvesting from our Garden, which had grown very big, and we are expanding its size constantly.
The curry was of course with the salt root and blue and purple-colored carrots, Ice Carrots and Purple Carrots, which added to the flavor and texture. The red curry had large chunks of red meat, mostly small chunks of Ice Goblin, Frost Orc, and Snow Yeti Meat, which was the tastiest red meat we had widely available.
And the yellow curry was made out of similar ingredients except red pepper-like fruit named Fiery Fruit, which has adapted to these cold climates due to the intervention of the Jade Snake Sect, a sect that loves spicy and citric food, so that's where I got a lot of ingredients for curry.
For this curry, a colorfully yellow-colored powder made out of the seeds of a star-shaped fruit that only grows in the Poison Dungeon named "Starry Paralysis Fruit" was used, this fruit is poisonous, and upon consumption it causes paralysis and might even paralyze the heart, so it is so deadly that not many monsters in the dungeon eat it, and it is widely harvested by the Jade Snake Sect disciples.The direct consumption doesn't seem to affect them due to their immunity to most poisons, and they eat it as a snack, it has a sweet and citric flavor, and it makes for a tasty orange-like juice, however, normal people can't drink nor eat it.
So that's why I am only using the powder made out of its seeds. The poison that paralyses is only located in the pulp of the fruit, so when the seeds are washed, toasted, and triturated, they come with a deliciously fragrant citric smell, ideal for yellow curry, and it holds a sweet, toasty, and mildly spicy flavor.
This curry of this color was made using the other normal ingredients, but the difference is mainly in the meat. We use the meat of Shadow Crows and Cockatrices for this one, which is pretty much chicken, making this the legendary, yellow-colored chicken curry!
Of course, it barely tastes how I remember it to be, so this curry is more like its own new recipe and preparation. The Jade Snake Sect uses the powder to season meals, but they never thought I could use it to make this new "curry thing" they have begun to love fervently.
Accompanied with the curry came a lot of grilled meat, red steaks made with butter, and seasoned with some salt and fragrant herbs to add the citric and tasty smell to the meat that always makes it better.
Aside from that, I also prepared some soup, which was made out of the bones of various animals and with a lot of other vegetables and some meat, it was mostly to accompany the rest of the meals.
"Nom, nom, nom…"Benladann began to quickly dig in, she liked the red curry the most, she used a big spoon and ate spoonful of it with each passing second, accompanying it with the fluffy rice.
"Hmm! I love this! My husband is such a good chef! Ah, I feel like I am in debt with you…" she sighed.
"Eh? That much?" I wondered.
"It just so tasty, so flavorful! The spiciness comes so well with the meat inside cut into little chunks that tear apart in the mouth so easily, and then there are the carrots, so sweet and starchy, and the salt root "potatoes" that you call them are also so nice… The spiciness is also soothed with the fluffy white rice as well…" said Benladann.
"Yeah, I agree! I love the red curry the most, it is my favorite out of the two!" said Miranda, who also ate a large plate of red curry.
"Hm, I have to agree with that, the red curry is nice but… The Yellow Curry is the best in my opinion." Said Laddan.
"W-What?! Father! How could you say that?" asked Benladann.
"I am sorry my daughter, but you and your mother enjoy the yellow curry." Said her father.
"It is just so sweet… It is soothing, and the spiciness is not as explosive as the red one, so you can taste the other flavors nicely, all blending together, the meat is also flavorful, the chicken soup-like juices it left over the curry makes the entire meal very aromatic and delicious." Said Benlah.
"Just like your mother said! Because it is a less spiciness, it is tastier! Also the rice comes along very well as well, but you don't feel the need to exhaust the rice because the curry is too spicy, you can eat both slowly and more naturally, how it is meant to be! I believe this curry is the best one." Said Laddan.
"I guess everyone has their favorite. I had thought about making new types of curries, there are many more ingredients I want to play around with." I said.
"R-Really?!" asked everyone at the same time.
"There is more curry I wasn't are of?!" asked Laddan.
"What is it?" asked Benlah.
"I… I haven't made it yet, I am just gathering the ingredients for now, but I might be able to make seafood curry with fish and perhaps black spider meat to replace shrimp or crab…" I said.
"Oooh! That sounds interesting…" said Benladann.
"And then there is green curry, but I need coconut milk to bring out its true flavor, I don't know if I can find any of that in here…" I said.
"G-Green curry…?" asked Laddan.
"Yeah, there are also many other types of curry, cooking is pretty fun…" I said.
The future was bright for my cooking career. Perhaps this is what I should dedicate myself from now on? I always had a dream of becoming a chef in my previous life to be honest…
A Chef Dragon!
Doesn't sound so bad…
