Rotti and a Plain Tea by Son of the Morning Light on 500px.com

Hot, sweet, ginger-infused Sri Lankan tea to wash down the spicy lunu miris (an onion and chilli relish) that accompanies rotti bought from a roadside shack by the Kimbulwana Oya. Shot on assignment for Explore Sri Lanka, the country’s oldest running travel magazine. My story, The Road to Ritigala, appeared in the March 2016 issue.
