Thanks for sharing recipe and food photos here on Connect.

In Pakistan we have similar dish with different name “Aaloo waley Parathey” , and it’s my favorite meal in breakfast.

In my whole stay in Colombo , I tried to taste authentic Srilankan food, I don’t remember the names, but I remember a gravy with the main ingredients of Chicken, Coconut and other things, I tried it at somewhere at Galle Face road.
