Sumatran Chicken Curry
This Sumatran chicken curry has been received with wide acclaim, by the curry buffs at my husbands work...so I think that is a tick of approval.
We are loving our spicy dishes just now and Bree has become the queen of flavours you will love. We have been visiting memory lane (and all our long ago travels). You will find this everything you hope for when you go out to eat in some foreign clime. Channel the balmy nights, the flowering trees, the distant hum of scooters, the clanging of spa music that invades the air everywhere you go.
Bali we miss you!
