    For curry pastes and ingredients used in this recipe and for any other Sri Lankan gorcery items, I've located a 'near-enough' grocery shop for you. It is in Ashwood. The nale of the shop is
    MKS Groceries, 382, Warrigal Road, Ashwood Vic 3147.
    Tel: 98859932 before you visit the shop, as some supplies are low.

    Optional ingredients are the cloves, cardamom pods, lemongrass and cinnamon as most of the curry pastes contain these. But if you have them its best to use as these add a great fragrance to the curry. Beef mix may be a bit too strong so if you cannot find the Chicken paste try the mutton mix. Will try and source the chicken mix and give you the details Halina. So glad you like the recipe.
