Why Rice and Curry deserves more attention

Rice and Curry rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The fiery and aromatic complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using coconut scraped fresh correctly takes real skill.

Maldive fish is a uniquely Sri Lankan ingredient with no close equivalent elsewhere. I encountered it first in a family hoppers breakfast and that context helped me understand it properly. king coconut water is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Rice and Curry is the dish to start with.
