I love cooking Sri Lankan

I wanted to have my friends over for dinner to thank them for looking after our puppy dog (Delta) and Dan he loved my Sri Lankan cooking last time he came over so I thought I would do it again but with something new. This time I made yellow rice, Beef Curry and Dahl all from scratch. I was very proud of myself for making it all from fresh ingredients and nothing pre made/processed. Sri Lankan food really is quiet healthy for us as I use light coconut milk and fry things in only a little ghee. The rest is all spices, herbs, veggies and meat and of course rice.
All up it took me about 1.5 hours to prepare it and cook it all as its good to focus on 1 dish at a time to make sure everything thats needed, goes into the dish and you need to taste it along the way.
Since this I have purchased myself a proper cook book as I was previously using recipes online.
These are the ones I used for this very yummy and filling dinner, but I do need to sit down and get the traditional recipes from my partners parents!
