This rich and fragrant Sri Lankan red curry has multifaceted flavor thanks to an array of warming spices. You can prepare this dish with chicken breasts, instead of thighs, but we recommend cooking on Slow Cook Low for the same amount of time. Serve this rich curry with basmati rice and a generous squeeze of fresh lime juice to finish.Â
