Sri Lankan food?!


Question: Sri Lankan food!?
I have tried making a couple of SL recipes but they always come out tasting more like Indian food!. The dishes never quite taste like my local SL restaurant (yes, I am lucky to have one where I live!. It's a small mom & pop place but fantastic food)!. Something is off somewhere and I cant quite figure it out!? Do they use different spices or curry pastes!? I havent seen any special SL ingredients/spices in my local Indian grocery!. Any ideas or advice!?!?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Are you using Sri Lankan garam masala!? It differs slightly from the basic Indian gm: try it, I think that will solve the problem!.
