Coconut curry
Cooking time: 20 min. / 10 min.Difficulty: easy
Most of Sri Lankan recipes consists of coconut. The more when talking about this recipe. It is a delicate sauce pleasantly seasoned, which is used especially for string hoppers (rice noodles) or kottu roti (chopped bread).
Process
Put all ingredients into a pot, pour in coconut milk and cook uncovered about 10 minutes.
Serve with string hoppers (rice noodles) or kottu roti (chopped bread).
To give some more proteins to the dish, Sri Lankans serve it with hard boiled eggs too, which they boil directly in the coconut curry.
String hoppers with coconut curry can feel a bit mild compared to other Sri Lankan dishes. Thats probably why we got it for lunch with picant onion sambal, which was a great combination by the way.
