Another winning Curry Paste to add to the basics collection. Fragrant and delicious, my Husband claimed this to be the best dish I ever made and it all came down to a few fresh ingredients whacked in a blender. Too easy 🙂   Makes approximately 1 cup   5...
Sri Lankan Chicken Curry with Toasted Coconut Sambal

Sri Lankan Chicken Curry with Toasted Coconut Sambal

I love a good curry and I particularly love the eclectic mix of spices and aromatics in a good Sri Lankan Chicken curry.  It is like they have taken the best flavours in all Asian cuisine and put them into one pot, resulting in a flavour extravaganza.  Of course, this...

Beef Vindaloo with Fragrant Rice Pilaf

Beef Vindaloo with Fragrant Rice Pilaf

This is a recipe adaption of an old favourite that used Patak’s Vindaloo curry paste.  Em’s Food has come a long way since then and I decided to make the Vindaloo from scratch and I am so glad I did.  As much as we all like to take short cuts, making a...
