“As the colder nights start setting in, a warming curry to share is the perfect way to get the family around the kitchen table” – Gareth Howard, Exec Chef at Acre Eatery in Sydney. This sweet and sour Sri Lankan Mud crab curry packs a real punch, with the fresh and vibrant ingredients shining through in the dish. Cooking time is really quick which is great for families or couples on move. If you are looking to substitute your core ingredient, the curry works equally well with Ocean King Prawns Cooked Medium or a dense white fish fillet like John Dory Fish Fillet and Ocean Trout Fillet.
