Sri Lankan Chicken Curry Recipe with Coconut milk Tasty Recipe

I never thought to make a Sri Lankan Chicken Curry Recipe in my kitchen. Because I don’t know about the food culture of Sri Lanka. But when I saw a celebrity chef Peter Kuruvitain in a cooking channel I am inspired by his Sri Lankan cooking. I became a big fan of Srilankan celebrity chef Peter Kuruvita. He is an excellent chef and he always shares old and authentic Sri Lankan recipes. His cooking always inspires me a lot to cook Sri Lankan recipe. He always shares the simple and easy way to cook Sri Lankan dishes.

And I also observed one thing that the recipes he cooks or the cooking style is more or less similar to south indian recipes. I believe, it is because a long decade before Srilanka was a part of south India. Maybe for this, we can see many south Indian influence in their cooking. From this inspiration, I started to find easy and tasty Curry dishes of Shri Lanka. I watched many videos, searched many websites to find a perfect recipe for me. After a long time, I find this recipe in a cooking magazine. Where an old lady shares her own Sri Lankan style chicken curry recipe. And I like the recipe a lot because it’s easy to make. So I am sharing this recipe with you.

This Sri Lankan Chicken Curry Recipe is not a spicy curry chicken dish with coconut milk

Sri Lankans use more coconut milk in their dishes as usually, south Indians do. As like in south India, coconut trees are grown much in  Sri Lankan region. For this reason, they use coconut and coconut products more in their dishes. They use coconut milk or coconut cream in their every meat or vegetable stew or curry dishes. We all know coconut milk or coconut cream thicken any stew or curry dish naturally. Coconut milk or coconut cream always make tasty every dishes and stew whether the dish is a vegetarian dish or meat dish. When I used the coconut milk in this dish I find the coconut milk create a very mild coconutty flavour and add sweetness to the dish. Which tastes great with chicken. I always like coconut flavour in any recipe. Even I cook many dishes with coconut milk or coconut cream and share those recipes in my blog. All dishes are my favourite. This different but exotic chicken curry dish with coconut milk I am adding in the list. And hope as like me this chicken curry with coconut milk will become a favourite to you.

What should you always remember when you are making this Sri Lankan chicken curry recipe?

When I tried this recipe the first time, I find the aftertaste of the dish a little bitter not sweeter. Because I used more fenugreek seed powder in the dish.Which I did wrong. You shouldn’t do this. Fenugreek seed has it’s own natural bitter taste. Use it carefully when you are using this spice in a powder form. Always remember the use of other spices more in the dish may enhance the flavour of the dish. But the more use of fenugreek seeds can destroy your whole dish taste and flavour. When I made the same dish next time I used fenugreek seeds less and the after cooking tastes of the chicken curry was really wonderful. So I am sharing the exact amount of the fenugreek seeds I used in this chicken curry with coconut milk. You should always use the same amount of the seeds I have mentioned here. Then your Shri Lankan chicken curry with coconut milk will never give you an after bitter taste.
