Unsure about Sri Lankan cuisine, we let the Chef Tomadura Publis Silva decide the meal for us.

Unsure about Sri Lankan cuisine, we let the Chef Tomadura Publis Silva decide the meal for us. This 76-year-old chef recommended the Gal Curry for vegetarians — red pumpkin and potatoes cooked in buttermilk (R720) — and Devilled Mutton (R870) for the others.

The curry is deliciously flavoured with cinnamon. The Devilled Mutton is bound to make a glutton of you. Also try the Dhal Mullam at R750, and the Isso Kirata — tiger prawns with a distinct Konkan flavour (R1,500). The festival is on till September 30, at The Spice Route, The Imperial, Janpath.
