Sri Lankan Tastiness

Last night's theme for Supper Club was Sri Lanka, thanks to the heritage of one of our elite members.  :)

Aren't familiar with this type of cuisine?  We didn't let that stop us!  Do a little online research, throw together some glorious spices, stop at the liquor store on your way over, and cook it up!

It was a feast.









More recipes to come, but let's start with the main "curry-ish" dish, courtesy of our hostess with the mostest:


Ingredients:

*  3 Tsp olive oil
*  1 small onion, chopped
*  2 cloves garlic, minced
*  5 Tsp curry powder
*  1 tsp ground cinnamon
*  1 tsp paprika
*  1 bay leaf
*  1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger
*  1/2 tsp white sugar
*  2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces
*  1 Tsp tomato paste
*  1 cup plain yogurt
*  3/4 cup coconut milk
*  1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional - there is a spicy taste without this)

Directions:

1.  Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.  Saute onion until lightly browned.

2.  Stir in garlic, curry powder, cinnamon, paprika, bay leaf, ginger, sugar and salt.  Continue stirring for two minutes.

3.  Add chicken pieces, tomato paste, yogurt and coconut milk.  Bring to a boil; reduce heat; and simmer for 20-25 minutes.

4.  Remove bay leaf (and stir in cayenne pepper if you're brave).  Simmer for 5 more minutes.

----Pour copious glasses of wine and enjoy hours of hilarious conversation.  Not optional.----

Enjoy!
