Ceylon is the name given to a family of curry recipes with the key ingredients being coconut, lemon, and a specific Ceylon curry powder, which classifies it as "hot" on most guides. Its name presumably originates from Ceylon, the former name of modern-day Sri Lanka.

When Rachel Foster lived in downtown Phoenix, she regularly ordered Thai curry at a favorite restaurant. One day the clerk at the small market next door gave her a recipe for the curry. Foster put the recipe to use when she moved out of town. She still gets a weekly dose of her favorite Thai dish, but she cooks it herself.

This is one of my all time favorite dishes. I hope you will enjoy this recipe as much as I do. If you never had the pleasure of trying Thai curry chicken then I almost can guarantee that you will fall in love with Thai food after trying this chicken recipe.

More of a method than a recipe but it really does work. Unlike most recipes there is plenty of scope for experimentation. Try coconut and Banana.
