I am a former chef and have worked with many Sri Lankan people, there cuisine is similar to Southern India, alot of chicken, lamb and fish, the 2 ethnic groups, the Sinilese and Tamil people do eat some pork, as they were under both the British and Portugese influences over time.

Sri Lanka was once known as Ceylon and still makes the finest teas, the mountain areas are luss and have quite a nice climate. Check out the site I have for you and choose something easy, but exotic.

While I personally have never made Sri Lankan food, there are some great resources out there, such as:

Malini's Kitchen (use the search tool for the word "easy" once there) - http://www.infolanka.com/recipes/...

the recipes of a Sri Lankan cooking instructor by the name of Chandra'ge - http://www.chandrage.com/recipies/recipi...

and a personal page of recipes - http://paradisaya.tripod.com/recipes/...

Between those three sources, you should find something qick and easy in no time. Good luck ;)

Hi...

I am Sri Lankan......now do you have anything specific in mind? Let me know....

Hi

I'm just posting Sri Lankan recipes on WWW. recipezaar.

Just log on to the site and look up Sri lankan Curries.

For a simple vegetable dish try the aubergine recipe it's divine, so good I cook this at least once a week.

You could just email me if there is something specific that you need..
