In Sri Lanka, chicken curries are known as kukul mas - hundreds of different versions exist, each with their own specific blend of spices which are usually very darkly roasted to give a delicious, deep and complex flavour. Key spices in Sri Lankan cuisine include cinnamon, curry leaves, mustard seeds, chilli and lemongrass (an ingredient more commonly associated with Southeast Asian cuisine). On the side of the chicken curry we've got a potato dish known as ala thel dala, a sweet and spicy onion chutney called seeni sambol and a cooling coconut sambol. Finally we’ve got pol roti - flatbreads made with coconut, onion and coriander - which are great for scooping up all the other dishes!

Great Sri Lankan feast, exploring new flavours and combinations, packing a real punch. All round amazing!

Ordered this as a bit of a change. I'm not usually a big fan of coconut but there was no overwhelming flavour of coconut. It was all just a really tasty mix of curry and sides, the rotis were the perfect accompaniment. Would definitely order this one again.

Thanks for your lovely review, Andrew - we're so pleased to hear that you enjoyed all of the different components of this Sri Lankan feast!

4/5

My husband and I always split our kits in half, and we recently cooked the second half of the spices from this kit. We used boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of whole legs or thighs. The flavours were as good as we remembered! We forgot that there is a bit of heat with this kit, but nothing that takes away from the flavours. The only thing we wish we had done was make the rice, which is optional. While there is plenty of food without it, the rice would've help curb some of the heat.

Glad you enjoyed it, it looks absolutely delicious!

5/5

An excellent dish with an array of delicious flavours.

We used chicken thighs (more than suggested) the whole meal was great, to pol roti took us back to breakfasts in Sri Lanka (for me at least).

Ah, what lovely memories! Happy spicing!

Saved up two curry’s for 4 people to make a spice sensation for 8 people, delicious, trini curry and kukul mas. It went down well!

Wow everything looks delicious and worth the wait! Nice idea having name tags for each dish as well!
