A natural way to answer

The dish I make best is a vegetable curry. I start by frying onions and spices, then add tomatoes and whatever vegetables I have. I let it cook slowly so the flavours come together. It's quite easy once you get the hang of it.

Key phrases to use

  • chuck in — to add something quickly and casually“Just chuck in some herbs at the end.”
  • get the hang of it — to learn how to do something after a bit of practice“Cooking rice is tricky at first, but you get the hang of it.”
  • blown away — extremely impressed or amazed by something“I was blown away by how good the meal was.”
