Kukul mas curry is presented here through Aarthi’s tested Sri Lankan chicken-curry recipe. It combines chicken with a ghee-tempered onion and spice base, tomato, pandan, vinegar and a late addition of thick coconut milk.
The selected recipe layers whole cardamom, cinnamon and fenugreek with curry leaves and six ground seasonings: chilli, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, cumin and fennel. The coconut milk joins only after the chicken has simmered in the masala.
Ghee is heated in a deep pot and the whole spices fried briefly. Curry leaves follow, then onions are sautéed until translucent; minced ginger, garlic and salt are stirred in before the ground seasonings.
The tomatoes are added to the mixture and cooked until the fat separates. Chicken is coated in this masala, then pandan and vinegar are mixed through before the pot is covered for simmering.
Once the chicken is cooked, the same pot receives thick coconut milk and a short further simmer. Ready rice is selected alongside the finished curry.
