Ceylon Chicken Night
Straight from the specials menu - a curry with a taste of Sri Lankan sunshine...
During the British rule of Sri Lanka the island was known as Ceylon and hence this fragrant coconut curry is known on British Indian restaurant menus as Ceylon chicken. In Sri Lanka it’s common for spices to be darkly roasted before being ground which makes their ubiquitous curry powder particularly intense in colour and flavour.
This spice blend is used in the curry served here, with other dishes from the island including homemade breads known as pol roti, a coconut chutney and devilled potatoes. We’ve also got a refreshing cucumber salad and a tangy lime pickle to cut through the richness of the coconut curry.

This is your absolute best curry and it's very disappointing that you don't have it. When is it going to be available again?
I have made lots of curries but the South Indian coconut influence in the curry sides and even the bread was a new venture. Really good. And would definitely add the devilled potatoes to future curries! The great thing about these menus is they make you try out new things.
Check out those bowls and thali trays! Looks fantastic Andy - really glad to hear you enjoyed this
Mike received a Spicery subscription for his birthday last year at the beginning of lockdown. He doesn’t cook...... He enjoyed the three months so much that he has re-subscribed three times now and for nearly a year, once a month has has diced and shredded to perfection and produced the most delicious meals. He has enjoyed these boxes so much. Ceylon Chicken night I think has been our favourite so far with Date Night in Goa and Garlic Chilli Chicken not far behind. The Ceylon Chicken dishes are lighter than some of the collections. The chicken dish is very slightly sweet and complimented perfectly by the spicy lime pickle! Perfect combinations!
Well done Mike! Sounds like you might be asked to cook every night if you're creating spectacular dinners like this.....
Absolutely delicious! Easy to follow instructions and no arguments during the date preparation! We’ll definitely continue the subscription. Highly recommended!
Yum this looks fantastic, it's great to see you're enjoying your subscription and we're loving the blue crockery- cheers!
A taste sensation! We’ll definitely make this again. Loved every element!
WOW this looks spectacular, a lovely taste of Sri Lankan sunshine!
Loved loved loved preparing this dish. Thought I had far too much chicken, turns out there wasn’t enough as it was DELICIOUS! Coconut chutney was surprisingly gorgeous. Lime pickle was a bit too hot. All in all a successful nights cooking & eating

This looks like a great spread of food, Thomas, and we're so glad to hear how much you enjoyed it!
Super flavoursome curry and great side dishes. Such a welcome change from what we normally manage to cook. Really enjoyed learning how to make the roti, the lime pickle and the coconut chutney on top of the main event - the curry. The cucumber salad was a nice refreshing touch as well. Would definitely recommend it.
Great photo, Madalina - this looks like a real feast! We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed making it as much as eating it. Happy spicing!
Absolutely delicious a lengthier process, as always, but well worth it.
