Our next stop on this journey to Breville slow cooking heaven is this exotic curry dish from South Asia. Spicy seafood-based curries are very basic (not to mention delicious) dishes in Sri Lanka, and we can't get any more basic than a fish curry.

But you wouldn't have thought your Breville Automatic Meal Maker can handle a dish as exotic as this -- the great thing is that, we are happy to report success on this wonderful curry dish!

Hot, sweet, sour – this curry might just prove to be one of our favorite taste combinations here at Foodthinkers. The tomato taste is mellowed by adding just the right amount of coconut milk -- that now creates a balance of flavor, rather than one taste overpowering the other. You will want note the technique of using coconut as a supporting flavor -- this was a revelation. It will give a whole new dimension to your curry dishes.

Delicious and very quick to make, this is another winner. Let's move on to the recipe!
