A few weeks ago, some friends of our, treated us to some awesome kai for dinner. White-tail Deer and Chamois leg meat. We decided to make a delicious slow cooked curry. I through in some plums as we had so many on our fruits trees around the house.
I thought I'd share the recipe, this is super easy to make and would work with many types of red meat.
