Spicy King Prawn Fry, Sri Lankan style with caramelised onions, curry leaves and sliced green chillies for that extra kick…🦵🌶️ 😋 A perfect accompaniment along with my glass of whiskey 🥃 that was gifted topped with ginger beer ☺️👌If there’s any prawns left later (which I doubt…
🤣) I’ll have it with my chapattis later on. I chose to add this song along with this post from the recently released Bollywood hit film “Pathaan” starring the legend alongside 💃🕺as I the songs are absolutely amazing!!! I am sure my brother from another mother will be playing this song if he hasn’t already done so at his gig… 😉

Spicy fried mackerel topped with green chilli for that extra kick and grilled cherry tomatoes and my special Colombo Chetty’s mackerel fish curry cooked at home for family. Gosh it tastes absolutely yummy!!! 😋👌As I have been cooking and eating a lots of meat and chicken lately, I thought mackerel fish would be a good alternative for a change… 😉

Karaikudi (Chettinadu) style Salmon Fish Curry which is one of my all time favourite signature dishes which I thoroughly enjoy cooking from time to time… There are many ways one can cook a delicious fish curry and one of the methods and recipes I use is one when from my maternal grandmother (Ammamma who hails from a dynasty of Chettiars) who cooked her legendary fish curry in her kitchen at Forest Gate that we still talk about till this very day as that’s how delicious her fish curry really was…😋 Hopefully when my kids are old enough, I’ll teach them the same and pass on our age old family recipes hailing from both Sri Lanka and South India for them to pass down the generations too… 🙏

Feeling hungry? Try this… Sourdough crumpets topped with butter and my favourite “Sri Lankan Katta Sambal”(Maldivian fish, red onions, lime juice, chilli and salt) for that added lightly spicy and tangy kick 🌶 ☺️👌(Swipe ⬅️ for a pic of the jar) There’s a vegetarian option available too in addition to the one I’ve used in most good South Indian/Sri Lankan grocery (cash and carry) stores across London… I love eating crumpets on rare occasions as opposed to my mother who’s addicted to them 🤣 Typically I would eat them with butter, jam or even peanut butter and jam when I am skipping lunch or on the run 🏃‍♀️ however I must say once I experimented with this version, there was no going back… For those of you who want to try something a little different for a change and feel adventurous enough, then give this one a try… 😉😋👍 This is perfect for a quick breakfast or midday snack in between during the course of the day. I can’t help but say that mine featured here was so damn yum… 🤣👌

As the current food and fuel crisis in Sri Lanka continues given the country’s recent economic meltdown, I had instructed my team representing my late fathers memorial Trust and Foundation in Jaffna led by Gopi (featured in the pics) to distribute 5kg of rice for families in some parts of Jaffna which was coordinated and supervised by our National lead Mr Kamalanathan based in Puttalam. In addition to this we received a request for extra school bags for 30 children of tea estate workers in Nuwara Eliya. With the prices of raw materials going up and being scarce this was no easy task, however despite these shortcomings our local supplier had 30 school bags manufactured in Puttalam which is being handed over to these young children next week when my team visit their school. This is a little something I am able to execute from over here and do my little bit giving back to my Tamil community in their time of need I am grateful to God each day for giving us the resources and enabling me and my team in Sri Lanka to do this. 🙏

Featured here is one of my signature Lamb curries on the bone “Jaffna style”. I must say this dish tastes so finger licking good!!! 😋👌

Nice and spicy “யாழ் கோழிக்குழம்பு” (Jaffna style chicken kari) on the bone cooked by a true “யாழ்ப்பாணத் தமிழ் Jaffna Tamil” of course (being me from my paternal side) as in all honesty it doesn’t get better than that when cooked by a proper Sri Lankan for sure in my opinion… This dish is one of my signature ones and all time favourites (aside from my Mutton, Fish and Prawn versions…) cooked using my family recipe and our traditional Jaffna spice mix blend consisting of dried chillies, black pepper, coriander, fennel seeds, cumin seeds, dil seeds, turmeric, cloves, cinnamon, rampe (pandan leaf) and curry leaves along with other ingredients. I slow cooked this kari last night for dinner and served it with steaming Sri Lankan red rice (which is very healthy and full of fibre and other nutrients) or this dish also goes well with plain white rice too or veechu parotta (Ceylon parotta)… ☺️😋👌I look forward to serving this dish at my next private “by invitation only” supper club coming soon… 🍽🥂

I was recently approached by the Head Master of a school based in the Tea Estates (Upcountry) region in Sri Lanka to possibly assist them with 130 school bags for children whose parents working in the Tea Estates could ill afford to purchase… As a result these children were having to carry their books by hand or in a unsuitable carrier bags often walking long distances in the rain. Having considered their request, I got in touch with my local coordinator based in Puttalam and we commissioned a locally based manufacturer to obtain the relevant materials which is scarce due to the current economic crisis and have rucksacks 🎒manufactured for these children. Within 8 weeks I had these rucksacks made locally, thus creating much needed income for the enterprise we engaged and their workers. These rucksacks were dispatched and handed over to these children recently at their school as you will see in these pics. Seeing the smiles on their faces means everything to me and my team and makes all our efforts worthwhile. ☺️🙏 I am just grateful to God that I have the ability to do this from my own income and give something back to the community my father fought so hard to uphold their fundamental rights for enshrined in whats now known as the “Thimpu Principles of 1985”. In dedication to him and via the community trust foundation (SRMF) I set up in his memory back in 2014 focusing on education, agriculture and sports related programmes I was able to deliver on this school’s request with credit to all our SRMF team members efforts on the ground back home in Sri Lanka.
