SriLankan chicken and potato stew recipe

SriLankan stew

SriLankan cuisine is traditionally based on steamed rices served with meat or fish curries and Roti – a traditional flatbread. This SriLankan inspired meat and potato stew can be served with bread or rice, whichever suits you, and is a real winter warmer that the whole family can enjoy.

It is a real family recipe – one you can dig into all together, with big hunks of bread for scraping the bowls. Kevin and Jacob are big cricket fans, and I think this sort of meal will be perfect for them to dig into while watching the cricket action on TV, and will give them plenty of energy to get outside and play their own game afterwards. The only question is – who will bat first?
