Very tasty!
With such a large variety of different dishes I always find it difficult to understand how guys selling junk food like McDonalds can still be so successful in Asia.

These recipes are quite similar to Sri Lankan cooking. No wonder it's so good :)

LOL! Sorry, but that phrase reminded me of the Malayali Prabha who ate very well indeed at Nandthikadal :)))
