‘Huge glass jars stood on the shelves, full of cardamom, curry powder and cloves. Dried fish hung from the ceiling. Sambols were made using huge mortars and pestles. Chutneys and pickles were mixed by women sitting on low stools.’ Eat as the Sri Lankans do combining a mixture of curries – lamb with coriander, hot fish, cauliflower, cashew and green pea, mango or mustard potatoes. A stunning mix of travelogue and food, Sri Lankan Flavours celebrates the food and traditions of this exotic island.
