Recipes Crafted with Real Thai Coconut Milk
Saagu Kan’dhi
Kan'dhi is Maldivian comfort food at its plainest and best — something close to a sweet porridge. This saagu kan'dhi is mostly sago, sugar and coconut milk, and though it is simple to make, pandan, cardamom, cinnamon and rose water give it real depth. We make ours with Real Thai Coconut Milk, one of the Real Thai lines we import. It is 100% fresh coconut milk, not from concentrate and with no added colour, and it carries just as well into curries, sweets and drinks. Serving size: 5-6
Maldivian Kulhi Riha
Kulhi Riha is the spicy Maldivian tuna curry that households have leaned on for generations, served with roshi or rice. Bilimbi is traditional, but lime steps in perfectly well when you cannot find any. Coconut milk is the ingredient that decides how good it turns out, so it is worth using a creamy one — ours is Real Thai Coconut Milk, from the Real Thai range we import. It is 100% fresh coconut milk, not from concentrate and with no added colour, and it works across curries, sweets and drinks. Serving size: 3-4
Kandu Kukulhu (with Real Thai Coconut Milk)
Of all the Maldivian tuna curries, Kandu Kukulhu may be the most prized — the name translates to “chicken of the sea,” which tells you where it sits. It is a bold, well-spiced curry and a fixture in many households. Ours came out with a good amount of heat, so ease back on the chillies if you prefer it gentler. We make it with Real Thai Coconut Milk, one of the Real Thai lines we bring in. It is rich and creamy with a natural coconut flavour that rounds out the spices rather than competing with them.
Havaadhulee Bis (with Real Thai Coconut Milk)
Havaadhulee Bis takes time and runs through a fair few steps, so it can be daunting the first time — but the result more than repays the effort. This is a revised version of a recipe first published years ago, with the steps simplified and the flavours adjusted. We make it with Real Thai Coconut Milk, part of the Real Thai range we distribute. It is 100% fresh coconut milk with no concentrate, equally at home in curries, sweets and drinks.
Chichanda Kirugarudhiya
Kirugarudhiya is about as simple as a side dish gets — combine the ingredients with coconut milk and let it simmer until everything is through. This chichanda, or snake gourd, version is hearty enough to make a meal of with some roshi. We use Real Thai Coconut Milk, from the Real Thai range we import and distribute. It is 100% fresh coconut milk with no concentrate, and it moves easily between curries, sweets and drinks. Serving size: 2-3
