Monkfish Cheek Colombo Curry

Mexican Chicken All-in-One Varoma Meal

Mexican Chicken All-in-One Varoma Meal

This is a great mid-week family meal that won’t cost an arm and a leg. You can either steam the chicken thighs with their skin and then crisp them up under the grill or remove the skin for a lower fat version that will be just as tasty.
