Inspired From Travels To: Sri Lanka
Flavoursome curries in Sri Lanka are a staple dish in every household. As expected from an island in the Indian Ocean, seafood plays an important role in Sri Lankan fare, so combining the two ingredients along with some rice can only result in a delicious dish . In particular, Chef Anthony’s version at The Runcible Spoon at quirky Owl & the Pussycat Hotel is irresistible. Check out his other recipes exclusively for Voyageur Chic here.
