A kulhi loach from memory as suggested by @mazami.cookie I surprised myself. Did a few studies beforehand, one being the all-seeing painted eye in the second picture. 👀 . . . #kulhiloach #kulhi #fish #fishy #fishtank #aquarium #animalart #artistsonig #fishkeeper #sketch #doodle #drawing #fisheye #digitalart #whiskers #adobe #drawdaily #digitalartist https://www.instagram.com/p/BpDEGYDBxVY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vovlprwf9x20

Mangrove in Huraa Island, K. Atoll Mangroves in the Maldives are normally found in depressions of islets locally known as Kulhi. Some species of mangroves also grow along island lagoons. Mangrove areas are highly productive ecosystem contributing to the food chains of atoll islands. They are also important to the atoll ecosystems, as they filter out silt, nutrients and sand that would otherwise go out to the house reef around the islands, suffocate corals and encourage algal growth. #Maldives #huraa #mangrove #happyfriday #photooftheday #kulhi #islet #filter #tree #green #sand #environments #nature #watercolor #ecosystem abeedh.com (at Huraa)

Chicken Curry

Ingredients

1 chicken (~1 kg)

3 potatoes (optional)

1 small onion (sliced)

about ten curry leaves

oil

1 1/2 tsp curry powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp ginger powder

1/4 - 1/2 tsp turmeric powder

1/4 tsp garam masala

1/2 tsp chilli powder OR 1/4 tsp chilli powder + 1/4 githeyo mirus*

2 tsp salt

1 can coconut milk (~500 ml)

Method

Turn on the stove at medium heat. Use a medium-sized pot. Saute the onion and curry leaves in oil, until the onion softens. Lower heat and add the spices. Stir, until the spices and oil begin to separate. Add the chicken and potatoes, and then the coconut milk. If the chicken and potatoes are not completely covered after adding coconut milk, add water until they are. Turn heat up. Leave until the chicken is done (until no pink can be seen in the middle of the flesh).

Tips

During the last step, the pot can be left covered or uncovered as seen fit. If covered, the lid needs to be removed at intervals so it doesn't boil over. If uncovered, curry may splash is the pot is not big enough.

Spices stick to pots and add flavour to whatever you cook next, so either have a separate pot for spicy food, if you cook it regularly, or use a non-stick pot. Desserts and these spices do not go well together.

*Sorry, I don't really know the English name for this. It's a type of chilli that's very hot, and I've included a link which shows a picture. If you really want to include them, your best bet is an Indian shop. They are super delicious and I recommend them if at all possible.
