Curry Kapitan

Making this dish from scratch was worth it. The curry was very aromatic and fragrant. Now, I am proud to say that I can cook curry from scratch and not using packet sauces bought from hypermarts but there's a price tag to pay, NOPE, not $$$ wise but just some sacrifices to my blender. Since turmeric can cause staining due to it's colour, now my whitish plastic/rubbery part of the blender was now bright yellow in colour. I guessed it's pretty normal for those who uses it to blend their spices for their cooking. Since curry was commonly served during any house gathering, I decided to serve them as another dish to by fellow guests too.
