Crispy pan-fried kingfish rubbed in a punchy garlic, pepper and lemon marinade, finished with a handful of curry leaves scattered into the oil at the very end. A taste of the Tamil coast from Point Pedro, Jaffna.
Did you know?
Point Pedro sits at the very northernmost tip of Sri Lanka - just 22 kilometres from the island's peak. In Tamil cooking, curry leaves dropped into hot oil at the last moment (a technique called thalippu) burst with fragrance in seconds. It's a small finishing touch that makes a big difference.
