Kakuluwo curry, also known as Jaffna crab curry, is a traditional spicy Sri Lankan crab curry.[1] The dish originated in the northern regions of Sri Lanka but is popular around the country, mostly in the seaboard areas where fish and other seafood are staple foods. The dish is served with rice, pittu or bread.

Preparation

The dish typically uses either blue swimmer or mud crabs, broken into smaller portions and simmered in a claypot with seasonings and the seed pods of the drumstick tree.[2][3]

Kakuluwo curry is normally eaten with pol sambol and rice.[4]
