An Exquisite Blend of Spices for Sri Lankan Pirattal Curry
Discover the perfect harmony of aromatic spices and chilli heat with our Pirattal Curry Paste. A quintessential Jaffna-style dish, Pirattal derives its name from the Tamil word meaning "to toss and turn," reflecting the method of coating each ingredient in the rich blend of spices.
This curry is traditionally prepared by slow cooking on low heat, reducing the liquids to create a thick, luscious gravy. The dish is gently stirred throughout to ensure a seamless infusion of flavours while preventing the mixture from sticking to the pan.
The signature creamy consistency comes from concentrated coconut milk, which, when cooked slowly, thickens and blends harmoniously with the spices and meat or vegetables. As the coconut milk releases its natural oils, the spices are gently roasted, filling the air with an irresistible aroma.
The result is tender, flavorful meat or vegetables, beautifully coated in a rich, earthy curry infused with chilli heat, robust spices, and the subtle sweetness of coconut milk. A pot of Pirattal - whether made with chicken, mutton, or vegetables - is a Jaffna classic, perfect for sharing with family and friends over rice and side dishes.
Our versatile curry paste is your gateway to creating this authentic Sri Lankan experience. Adjust the quantity to suit your preferred spice level—mild, medium, or hot.
