Sri Lankan Shopping list

This is a list of store cupboard ingredients that are ideal to have to hand if you’re hoping to cook Sri Lankan food from scratch in your own home. Most of these ingredients will be ones you buy once and don’t have to stock up for a while like mustard seeds, dried red chillies and curry powder (as long as you buy the big packs like I do!). Others will be fresher ingredients like ginger and garlic that will be regularly replenished in your weekly shops.
