5 tbsp ginger, finely chopped
2 tbsp Sri Lanka Chicken Curry Masala (coriander, cumin, fenugreek, turmeric, chilli, cardamom)

1 tbs paprika powder
2 fresh super hot chillies chopped
1 can of tomato (420g) or tomato paste (1:4 ratio)
1 tsp lemongrass/lemon rind
1 cup coconut cream

FOR THE HEAT!!!! Use 3 freshly sauteed Ghost, Scorpion or similar of heat chillies. Alternatively, you can use 2 tbs Carolina Reaper Mash available through our website.

WARNING!!!! It’s a good idea to cook in a well-ventilated room as the chilli could be overwhelming.

CURRY BLEND You could use any other curry powder blend that you love, look for one that has most of these ingredients: coriander, cumin, fenugreek, turmeric, chilli, cardamom, paprika, ginger, onion and garlic. Just add in any that are not in the blend with fresh or ground alternatives.

Directions

Melt the butter and add the onion, garlic and ginger and fresh chillies. Sauté until the onion is soft.
Lower heat, add the Sri Lanka Chicken Curry Masala, mix well, frying until aromatic. If the mixture is too dry, add a small amount of water to enable the spice to fry.
Turn up the heat, add the chicken and seal well.
Add salt, pepper, paprika, lemongrass, tomatoes and mix well.
Add the coconut cream and bring to the boil.
Cook simmering until the meat is tender and the liquid has reduced.
Good Luck!
