[@madaramunasinghe5124]

I think when you were in Sri Lanka there was no Covid.Now it has started. There are so many beautiful,important places to visit in this country, clean places to eat (Even for street foods). Even locals get sick after eating from dirty places.Mainly because food inspection is not happening properly and regularly. Some places shown here were terrific/very less hygiene. Guides also should think about.

Where are you guys now? Are you safe? Take care!🌷

[@Alun49]

I have to say this is one of the best food tours I have seen you do. I lived in Birmingham for twenty five years and consequently love Indian food but this seems to be a whole new level of deliciousness! My mouth was watering throughout. You must explain though how you pace yourselves when you are on an organised food tour? Obviously this is spread over a good few hours but between dishes does the guide take you site seeing? Or is this from late afternoon until the evening meal? What would be the norm on such tours? I am looking forward to the exploration of Sri Lanka itself and then catching up with your current trip in the Middle East (?). The news is dominated by depressing Corvid 19 and so I was relieved to see this pop up. It has become a twice weekly treat for me to follow your adventures! Stay safe though! Things are getting a bit scary right now but I suspect you are probably safer on your travels than here in Europe and the UK!

Ghee is the main fat used for cooking on the Indian sub continent, if it is expensive in the US it is easy to make using unsalted butter, melting it , skimming off the milk solids then filtering through a warm paper coffee filter or fine mesh sieve. It can be used at higher temperatures than butter as it is the milk solids that burn but still gives the same flavour.
