Ceylon chicken and mushroom curry
"My recipe is very adaptable and comes from a love of Indian spices. I have made it for many years and all whom have tried it love the flavour. It is the blend of the star anise, ginger and cinnamon that makes it special. The infusion of the special spices makes it the worlds tastiest dish."
