I woke up so late today I decided not to have any caffeine and only managed one round of my twice daily medication. Amazingly, I am still upright and conscious and even thinking of making dinner.

This bittergourd really needs to be made asap. Curry it is, to go with this voluminous amount of leftover green rice. I'm going to add so much. Mum's roasted curry powder, kashmiri chilli, turmeric, fenugreek seeds, a good few slivers of cinnamon, curry leaves, pandan leaves (frozen), and maybe some tamarind paste. And coconut milk at the end.

E: it's still fucking bitter - should've soaked it more - but has a bunch of other amazing flavours playing along with it.

E2: I take it back, I think it's becoming a bit less bitter as the flavours meld. It might be fine tomorrow
