Srilankan never uses whole cumin (suduru)so much of onions and tomatoes in their fish curry. Ambul thiyaal malu curry or malu coconut hodi using small amount of onion goraka and small slice of tomato. As an Indian married to Srilankan i know Srilankan food and cooking

As a Sri Lankan don’t agree with this curry as our way if cooking fish curry. It feels like mix of Kerala and Goa curries.
Super 👌
