Topic: CA's Chicken Ceylon

[KORMAKING]

Just knocked this one up.

I was very happy for my first attempt.

Used a JB base and Abduls spice mix.

Didn't have any coconut powder so substituted with fine desiccated coconut.

In hindsight i think i should of added alot more desiccated to counter.

The coconut milk powder is a lot sweeter than dedicated coconut, so a touch more sugar would also be needed to compensate.

Going to give it another go now and head your words of advice!

CA's recipes tend to be on the sweet side. Be warned.

Made this to the letter (except I added chopped coriander)last night and it was the best BIR I've made in a couple of years. Absolutely beautiful. Looks the part also! Well worth a go.

This is the next one on my list to try. Is it coconut powder or coconut milk powder I should be using?

[hukkas]

I'd never heard of a ceylon. Perhaps it's described on menus as mild and/or sweet, in which case I'd likely skim straight past it.

Sure enough, 3tsp of sugar would've made it far too sweet for my liking, but with 1tsp and a couple of small green chillies and it was absolutely superb. This one's a keeper.

Ceylon used to be my BIR curry of choice until I discovered that it contained coconut; after that, if ever I tried to eat it, I could feel the tiny flakes of coconut squishing between my teeth, and it lost all of its appeal ...
