Is Sri Lankan dhal curry very spicy.
I want to try local food but have a low tolerance. Is the lentil curry safe for me.

Traditional Sri Lankan dhal lentil curry is universally considered the mildest, most comforting dish on the table. It is cooked slowly in rich, thick coconut milk with gentle spices like turmeric and mustard seeds.
It is specifically designed to act as a creamy, cooling counterbalance to the incredibly fiery meat and fish curries served alongside it.
However, some local chefs will occasionally add a few whole green chilies for flavor or a sprinkle of black pepper. If you have absolutely zero tolerance, just explicitly ask the waiter to ensure your portion of dhal is completely non spicy, and it will be perfectly safe.
