Delicious Ceylon curry and sambol - I cooked this with chicken supremes instead of sliced breast because we prefer them, but otherwise stuck to the recipe and we loved it. Noticing that takeaways are becoming more and more expensive - we love The Spicer...

I haven't made many curries before but The Spicery is really helping change that. The boyfriend and I loved this...and he isn't a curry fan so its a WIN for us!
