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 unique 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.

Absolutely sensational! The whole family loved it!

It's brilliant to hear that everyone really enjoyed this meal, hats off to the chef!

5/5

Did half portion for two people, it was delicious. Will make again.

Looks like a fantastic feast for two, plus the colourful place mats are very fun!

5/5

Absolutely delicious tender and slightly sweet, mild chicken dish. Very clear instructions but it took about twice as long as suggested with my amateur skills. Probably more expensive than a take away but far far tastier and I enjoyed the process so well worth it.

It's brilliant to hear how much you enjoyed this delicious dish! Happy spicing!

Our first...

5/5

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!

5/5

Full on cooking for a couple of hours but came together nicely. A great combination of mild tastes and then you can add the limw chili pickle to get things to the right heat. Recommended kit.

It's great to hear that this dish went down a treat! Happy Spicing!

We saved it for a valentines date. Spent the afternoon preparing it together, then sat and enjoyed our efforts. ❣️

We can't think of any more romantic way to spend Valentine's Day than cooking up a feast together in the kitchen and then enjoying the results! Great work, guys, and this spread looks so sophisticated on your black tableware too!
