      He looks like a hustler to me. Galle has been a major tourist hotspot for a very very long time. So I guess he must have been hustling since his early childhood among foreigners. So naturally his English is better with the years of practice. I wouldn't wonder if he can speak several other languages. If you din't notice the guy showed a high determination to get Harold to go to the Friday market so that he can guide Haralod in the market for a fee.

    21:42 - He wash the rice before cooking it because you want to remove the starch from it (or any foreign debris or dirt/dust). If you don't, the starch will causes the rice to clump together or get a gummy texture when you cook it. Generally you want to wash all uncooked rice until you dont get that cloudy water affect and the water run's clear, then you know you removed most of the starch. There are exceptions though, like if you are making a risotto, no rinsing is necessary as the extra starch creates the essential creamy texture for it.

    Local tip: Mango curry is made out of unriped green mangos which are cooking specific and it generally tastes sour and acidic. Mango season in Sri Lanka is between May to August and there are nearly 20 types of Mangoes in the country. Best as the fruit is locally called Karthakolomban (Mangifera indica). 🥭 Mango is the best.
