Blogging Marathon# 47: Week 4/ Day 1
Theme: Bookmarked Recipes from A-Z International Marathon
Dishes: Sri Lankan Vegetable Curry with Coconut Rice
Some of the mega marathoners did elaborate meals for each country and initially I was tempted to do a complete meal for this week. But reality set in and I realized it would be impossible for me to cook all those dishes, so I decided on simple dishes for this week.
The Sri Lankan Vegetable curry is made with coconut milk and is flavored with Sri Lankan Curry powder. It is a very flavorful and creamy dish that tastes great with rice or even roti.
