Have you a specific recipe for the mushroom, spinach and kale curry please?

First wash spinach, Kale and Green chilies then cook in low temperature with spices you like i add Cinnamon and Cloves.

Need to wait until it cooled down.

Blend cooked and Spinach and Kale.

Next I use coconut oil or Kerry Gold butter in separate pan add onions, garlic, Cumin seeds, salt, mustard seeds cook for 3 to 5 minutes then add mushrooms and sometime pepper if any left.

Cook it until brown then add the blended mixture leave it in lower temperature for 5 to 10 minutes.

I don't have written recipe learning by looking others cooking.

It probably varies a bit each time as I don't follow recipes as such but here goes.

30g fennel, 30g shallot, 3 cloves garlic all finely chopped and sautéed in oil (I use rapeseed).
60g chorizo, skinned and finely diced, added to pan and cooked for 5 minutes.
Add 1 can of cannellini beans (rinsed), squeeze of tomato puree and 300g of stock (I use chicken but veg is fine)
I usually add extra paprika here or a little chilli
Simmer for 15 minutes

For last 5 minutes add 60g green beans and for last 2 minutes 35g fennel (cut into fine strips)
These add some crunch
Also, if you have some, add some mussels or clams

In a separate pan fry the hake (any white fish skinless fillet is fine) in butter (with a generous splash of pastis if you have some).

Serve stew in a bowl with fish on top. Add some garlic croutons (if you can get away with it)
and a generous sprinkling of tarragon.

This serves 2 people.

Bhindi bhaji did you make you self or did you buy in a shop.

Normally Bhindi(Okra) in very high in fiber and good for your gut.
Net Carbs is only 2%.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okra

I eat in my omelet everyday.

I just buy frozen okra and defrost and use it in when ever i need it.

I stupidly bought it. Yes, I'm just becoming aware of the benefits of okra - it's a great low carb vegetable isn't it!
