Sara's kitchen, freshly lit.
We opened our doors this season with recipes carried from Sara's grandmother's home in Galle — a coastal cook who measured nothing and got everything right. The clay pots are seasoned, the coconut is scraped by hand, and the pol sambol is pounded to order.
Come hungry, eat with your hands if you like, and ask for the curry that isn't on the board.
