Delicious Sri Lankan Deviled Chicken - Easy recipe- Shorts
Chicken is marinated, deep fried and tossed in a special spicy gravy and mixed in with tomatoes followed by stirred onions and veg. Sri Lankan food is very popular here in Toronto, there is a large Sri Lankan community where I live and this comes with a wide variety of restaurants and grocery stores. Once I picked up an order of what they called 'Chilli Chicken'. When I tasted this, I noticed that it didn't taste like the Chilli Chicken I was used to.
