Kapenta rice

When I started blogging about food, I was writing mostly about food that I grew up with. I really did not need to test the recipes. I knew the recipes b heart so all I really needed was to write. Over the years I began trying completely new recipes. Sometimes it just does not work. Then sometimes it takes a few years to get the recipe right.

Like this kapenta rice. The first time I tried it was a fail. I ate the rice but it was not something I would ever try again. I used to many of the kapenta and it didn’t taste good. The idea is to use the kapenta to flavour the rice in a similar way you add fish sauce to fried rice. 

I added curry powder to the rice. It just felt right.
