Indian was one of the things I craved with both of my pregnancies, and I was lucky enough never to have problems with heartburn, so I could eat it nice and spicy like I prefer it. In fact, the last meal I ate when I was in labor with Squirrel was a very spicy lamb curry from Moti, our favorite Indian restaurant in Tokyo. There’s something about all of the spices and flavor combinations that just make my taste buds sing. I recently made a red kidney bean curry that the Fujis really enjoyed. It’s got all of my favorite spices and flavors in it (garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, etc.) and is reminiscent of a good pot of chili (another Fuji family favorite). I served it with fragrant basmati rice. The curry made wonderful leftovers, and Squirrel and I enjoyed having it for lunch for a few days.
