Sri Lankan Ala Badun ( Potatoes and Onions) image

This is a simple and straightforward recipe. It is non the less authentic. Serve with curried meat and boiled rice. For a real taste of Ceylon put some chutney and poppads on the table also some sliced bananas in lime juice. Wonderful.

This dish was a disappointment. The potatoes were undercooked and the onions were burnt.
