Kukul mas curry (chicken curry)

Sri Lankan-style chicken curry, to be precise, Kukul Maas Curry, is made with spices commonly used in the region, such as cinnamon and cardamom, and the curry is made with thick creamy coconut milk.

Kukul Maas Curry is a traditional recipe from the Sinhalese cuisine, a popular family dish in Sri Lanka. There are many variations depending on the region and taste preferences.

Spices like cumin seeds, cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon sticks are aged in hot oil before combining with the chicken and spices like chili powder, curry powder, turmeric, pandan leaves, lemongrass, and leaves curry.

Coconut milk contributes to the rich curry sauce. Depending on the recipe, a tomato puree is usually included.

The chicken is stewed for about an hour until the essence of the seasoning is absorbed into the chicken. Most satisfying when served with hot rice and roti.
