Kiribath
Chicken Curry
Sambal

  3. Mix.
  4. Cook on low heat till done and quite evaporated.
  5. Add yogurt and cook for another 20 minutes or so.
  6. Pulse sambal ingredients together in a food processor until finely chopped but not a purée.
  7. Add salt and fresh lime juice to taste (it needs to be strong from the chili, lime and salt) but only when serving, as it can tend to go bitter if done for too long before serving.
