"Very tasty as all the Sri Lankan food is, but different in it's own way from the Indian curries that I have been posting. You'll like this one."

I should say right away, this this is not a 3/5 recipe. It's better than that. It's just that it's not a 4/5 recipe either, and I couldn't bring myself to add the extra star. 3.5 would be about right. Very nice, very easy to prepare, and very satisfying on a cold evening. Just don't expect to be blown away. 7/10 ain't bad though!
