    This recipe has certainly caught my attention. It looks amazingly yummy!!! I am highly allergic to coconut anything but I have learned to substitute evaporated milk or as you mentioned, fresh milk. Thanks you.

    As noted in the recipe the Sri Lanka spice blend (as well as many others) is available from http//www.worldspice.com I suggest you order any of there spice blends whole and grind them yourself if possible, that way the spices can be roasted in a dry pan to release their flavors before grinding. The difference is well worth the effort.
