First of all I am not a professional cook or even a great cook. I can make several things very well and I rinse, cycle and repeat. A few friends starting asking for my recipes, so I created this blog to showcase them. I call myself Texas Curry Mama because I live in Texas, I am a mama and I love to make curry. My mother-in-law is awesome and teaches me how to make curry when she visits from Canada. Everything else I learned from cooking on my own in the kitchen growing up. Let's just say I love cornbread, pinto beans and onions.

Walmart Natural Wheat Sub Rolls

I can't believe what they are attempting to get us to buy it's crap!  By chance I looked at the ingredients and thought this product was Natural like the label says that it is okay for my family to eat.  Guess what it has Cellulose Gel which is a product that is not digestible by the human body.  My husband loves this bread and I am so angry they are putting crap in the ingredient's.  It also contains Sodium Citrate which is also a chemical compound.  Wake up Walmart I would pay extra to not have these ingredients in my bread!  WalMart come on, give us great ingredients that are healthy and will keep us alive longer! I don't think it's right that making something affordable kills us!  What do you think? Give us affordable and healthy.  I am so mad!!!!

Ga's Ga's Guacamole

This is a great recipe.  I discovered this guac why travelling and it's always a hit.  There is a couple of things to note.  The avocados must be ripe but not too ripe.  They should yield to the touch with some firmness.  It's a good idea to just buy unripe ones and let them sit for 4 or 5 days, otherwise if in a hurry take the time to pick good ones.

Cherry tomatoes-Only use the cherry tomatoes and dice them into fours.  I like to cut them and sprinkle them with a little kosher salt before adding to the mixture.  This draws out more water from the tomatoes.

Onion-Red onion works best.

Jalapeno/Poblano-Make sure you clean them properly or the guac could turn out to hot to eat.  I add a little at a time to the batch and taste.

Garlic-I know your thinking premade Polaner's crushed garlic can't be better than fresh.  Here's my thinking on the subject.  Fresh garlic can be finicky, being bitter and a lot more work.  Polaner's crushed garlic is always consistent in texture and flavor.  Sometimes I caramelize the garlic in olive oil just for a more rich flavor.

Cilantro-Always use fresh not dried and remember to rinse very well first.  Sometimes cilantro has sand in it.

Salt-I find Kosher salt gives a much better flavor for this recipe.

Potato Salad

This is a great quick salad.  I created this recipe and brought it to a neighbors party.  It was a hit.

Fresh and Tangy Potato Salad

Copy Cat Famous Benihana Hot Sauce

This recipe is straight from the horses mouth.  In the 90's I would frequent Benihana Grill once a week.  After asking their corporate office to no avail, finally one of the chef's disclosed the main ingredients and I tweaked it from there.
