This chicken with Coconut Curry is one of those treasures that I brought from Sri Lanka and staying longer with me forever. The cuisine of Sri Lanka varies depending on the area, but in a same pattern.
However, when you get to the South, it is as if you were in country. of course that which are taken are curries, but creamy and tasty, more akin to the South of the India.
We take this in Galle, a city of Portuguese origin which could have fallen a week enjoying their food and shopping!
It is like being in Europe, a Portuguese city in the middle of the chaos of Sri Lanka, where the streets are ordered, no traffic and time seems to have stopped.
This Curried Chicken coco has the particularity that the chicken is covered with a mixture of grated coconut and spices and is fried, so it remains as a crusty layer to your around, but instead of bread, is made with grated coconut. the texture is similar to the bread, but the taste, Oh the taste! It is completely different.
This chicken curry with coconut take it in one of its restaurants and try it realized that already never could forget it, so I decided to bring it to you so that you could enjoy it so much like me. I hope you enjoy it so much as my.
I leave also the link to the video where you can see how easy that is to do it.
