Thai Yellow Curry

To me, curry is comfort food. One of the best things about making it yourself is you can choose the spice level you want.

I think you'll be surprised at how fast you can put this together. And best of all you can feed 6 people for cheaper than you could buy one order of this at a restaurant. This recipe can be found in Death of a Lonely Bachelor, Book 1 of the Accidental Detectives. A culinary cozy mystery series.
