But I added plenty of delicious veggies to make it healthier and tastier, here is my evaluation of it!
What did I do well
Before cooking: Got all ingredients that I needed for the recipe, even went to the weekend markets to get better/healthier veggies, had everything prepared and ready the night before cooking.
During cooking: Considered work space and kept clean, used plenty of vegetables and made good healthy choices. Managed time and was finished cooking and cleaning up with time to spare.
After cooking: Cleaned up workspace well, had curry ready to easily add to rice + pappadums at home. Product re-heated well and was still tasty for dinner.
What didn't go so well
Before - Although I had the veggies ready early, left the trip to Woolies to the last minute causing unneeded stress for me and my family. FORGOT THE TOMATOES!!! Left them at home and the dish wasn't the same without them :-(
During - Once again didn't do so well at cutting up the ingredients specifically vegetables, was my first time cutting alot of the things like broccoli. Didn't add enough liquid and the curry was a bit to thick, could definitely have added a bit more coconut milk/water to keep it creamy and have a better texture. Possibly left onion/ginger/chicken simmering too long while cutting up other vegetables.
After - Burnt hand when washing up, water was waaaay too hot. Finished fairly early, could've been helping others clean up but didn't :c
What would I do different:
Before - Go to grocery store on Sunday instead of rushing it on Monday night. Get workspace completely ready so I don't have to get utensils half way through cooking
During - Have ALL vegetables cut up before starting to cook to avoid overcooking chicken/onion while cutting up. Have my workspace prepared better, do a check through workplan to know everything I need before starting to cook.
After - Do something productive after finishing instead of walking around chatting, don't eat the curry before getting home, maybe let curry cool to room temperature before putting in fridge.
