For those who love Sri Lankan food, try our home made Black Pork Curry that even got featured in The Guardian.

“Another great dish, but from southern Sri Lanka, is the moist, deep-flavoured hill country pork curry. It’s prepared with a host of spices including roasted fenugreek seeds, cinnamon and goraka – a souring and thickening fruit paste similar in flavour to tamarind – plus the usual mustard seeds, cumin seeds, chilli powder and fragrant curry leaves. The  Ferncliff  a period bungalow with four guest rooms among tea plantations in Nuwara Eliya, does a great version that packs a fiery punch.”
