Kukul Mas Curry
Chicken Curry

Key ingredients

Say this to the waiter (Sinhala)
කුකුල් මස් කරියට අල, කැරට්, වට්ටක්කා හෝ වෙනත් පිෂ්ඨය සහිත එළවළු දාන්න එපා. සීනි දාන්නත් එපා. පොල් කිරි ටිකක් වැඩියෙන් දෙන්න පුළුවන්ද?
For the Kukul Mas Curry, no potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, or any other starchy vegetables please. And no added sugar. Can I have extra coconut milk?
