Warm with spices and a lick of heat, a bowl of curry revives the soul, and satisfies that appetite. We’ve tried a fair few curries from Chat Thai, and have bookmarked chef Palisa Anderson’s sour orange fish and Thai green chicken recipes. For some Sri Lankan concoctions, try the crab number by O Tama Carey, or the bright beetroot curry by Peter Kuruvita. Hardened chilli-lovers, test your mettle with David Thompson’s fiery chicken stir-fry with red curry paste.
