This is a curry we love eating no matter what protein we choose to make it with. Our favourite way to eat this however is with a side of coconut sambol (a traditional Sri Lankan dish) or green pepper coconut sambol (pictured below). And since it’s a meat curry, you can pair it with a number of side dishes like salads, vegetable curries, lentil curry etc. The addition of tamarind paste give this curry a delicious sour note that complements the heat really well. If you’d like to increase that beautiful peppery heat (and the colour), just add a little more black pepper. The reason why I love this curry so much, is the balance of flavours.

However, if you are preparing an elaborate plant-based dinner consisting of several curries and rice and some roti or naan, then this curry would pair well with some oven roasted eggplant, this cashew curry, this mung bean curry, and some mango chutney.
