In my quest to try different kinds of chicken curries, I decided to try a SriLankan version. As for the spice mix, there is something called a Ceylon (or SriLankan) curry powder which goes into this curry
You can also use it in my delicious Spiced Sweet Potato and Tomato Soup). If you’re not able to grind spices to a powder to make the SriLankancurry powder, feel free to use pre-ground spices – just remember to ‘roast’ them in a dry frying pan until fragrant (but don’t burn them, or it will taste bitter), to release the oils and flavours

It had been a while since we'd had sweet potato and it was an apparently good choice with chicken, as I'd seen a number of recipes for it in my travels

Take the chicken out and put with the sweet potatoes. As this curry has sweet potato in it, we didn’t serve it with any rice, but we couldn’t resist having a cumin and coriander naan bread with it to scoop up all of the sauce
So last week when we were a bit under the weather (literally) I brought out this new cook book called Serendip by Peter Kuruvita which has an array of SriLankan recipes and some gorgeous gorgeous photographs
