"The cuisine of Sri Lanka — the island country off the southeast tip of India — has a tropical bend, weaving coconut, fish, and fruits into its dishes. House of Curry’s pol roti, for example, has savory shredded coconut mixed into the dough. It’s a perfect complement to the fish coconut curry, which balances its creamy base with the fresh, acidic presence of tomato and lime, its flavors nodding to the Thai curries across the Bay of Bengal. Save room for watalappan, a tantalizing coconut custard served in sweet jaggery syrup." - James Norton, Justine Jones
