Ceylon Chicken with Chana Chaat and Sweet and Sour Tomato Curry for tea tonight - family loved it! Chana chaat so refreshing and a great accompaniment to the curries, which were both delicious. Thumbs up!!

We celebrated Bily's 60th birthday with a selection of his favourite flavours. Chicken Ceylon, Bengali Egg Curry, Panang Curry and Coconut Rice with a selection of Raitas and a simple side salad. Thank you guys for making our celebration such a success. He loved it.

I would love to visit Sri Lanka, but until I do I thought I'd get a flavour of it through this recipe. I enjoyed toasting the coconut and spices before blending them with the other ingredients to make the sauce. It was so worth the effort to get such a full flavour. I followed the suggestion of pairing it with South Indian Coconut Rice, a perfect combination!

Since first making this in March, I have been fortunate to actually visit Sri Lanka. I made it again to remind myself of the amazing food there. The memories flooded back with each tasty mouthful.

We went on our honeymoon to Sri Lanka in 2016 and fell in love with the teardrop isle. The coconut, lime and chilli flavour combination took me back to that special place and time. Finally got round to making it - what a special recipe! Thank you Spicery
