Jaffna Spiced Pork Chops
Turmeric Coconut Sauce and Fresh Salad with Lentils 😋
I have been thinking of making more food using local ingredients lately. Especially these days when ingredients are hard to find. We have such a rich cuisine and sometimes I don’t know if we are taking the advantage of that. Even though I’m not an expert I’m gonna do my part to help the cause of a modern Sri Lankan cuisine. These are just the first such steps.
This pork chop is marinated with a mixture of spices that resemble the sensational spices in Jaffna. The entire dish I feel like is a homage to the northern Sri Lankan cuisine and I hope you’ll love it as its simple and easy to make.

It’s been a minute. ❤️
It all started when I was shooting my last recipe video. A peaceful protest became violent. Since then all of us went to the streets to protest the current President and the government. The Aragalaya started.
A lot has changed since then. While we have achieved many great things through protesting, we also have dark stormy clouds forming in the horizon. Things are about to get more difficult for us Sri Lankans.
I lost my will to create food content. I was forced to put my passion on hold. It didn’t make sense to me to talk about food when we are struggling to find the most essential items in the midst of the darkness of power cuts. I felt that I was doing something insensitive. Ingredients have become harder to find and even harder to afford.
But I’m not gonna give up. I have come such a long away to do that now. Best we can do is to adapt. Cook with what’s available to us. Create new things with new ingredients. I think cuisines are polished during the hardest of times.
So this is the time content creators like us need the support of you. Small local businesses thrive on our support. My content may give you some sense of positivity and reassurance in the middle of this chaos. Sometimes with all the negativity, you need a distraction.
So as I’m gonna restart my posting, I would like to apologize if it may seem insensitive. I assure you that all I want to do is inspire. Next few years are bleak but let’s not let that light inside us die down. Let’s get through this together ❤️
Happy cooking! 🙌🏼
