Dani Venn Sri Lankan Style Simmer Sauce Range at Coles

Sharing this is the biggest “pinch me” moment. It’s right up there with winning the first challenge of Masterchef Australia Back To Win 2020 series where I cooked ‘A Taste Of Sri Lanka’ featuring a pineapple curry and blowing away Gordon Ramsey and the Masterchef judges with my authentic Sri Lankan flavours, as well as winning the first and only immunity pin of the series.

Sri Lanka is such a special place for me (and you must visit when you can!) and I hope you enjoy trying my range of simmer sauces with your family as much as I have enjoyed creating it inspired by the incredible flavours of Sri Lanka.

Cook with chicken, prawns, slow cooked beef, roasted cashews or tofu and your choice of rice. Dinner done in 15 minutes or less! Visit my recipes for more inspiration.

Dani Venn Sri Lankan Style Spiced Coconut Curry and Jaffna Curry is now available at Coles Supermarkets nationally and online.
