Learning Why Thuna Paha Means Three Five

December 30, 2021

I share a spice-mix recipe with my mum, learn it is called Thuna Paha, and start wondering why the name means three five before planning to ask the Water's Edge chefs.

Oh look, everyone's calling this guy "sir"!

This movie, The Martian, it is a bit like me. I like to log updates all the time. I like to be organized. It's a lot of fun to do this. I enjoy writing.

I have to write my script.

I showed this recipe to my mum: Shanika

She says this is "very correct".

We call it Thuna Paha or three five in Sinhalese language.

Pronounced: Two - Ner (as in "ner-d") and Pa (as in "pa-pa") and Hah--

"Two-Ner Pa-Ha".

"Masala" is an Indian word.

The reason behind 3 -5 is a mystery..

It could be because there are multiple ingredients as you have listed out.

There is a good restaurant in Water's Edge called Thuna Paha which we can visit.

We can ask the chef what the meaning behind 3 - 5 is when you visit.

It goes very well with curry cuttlefish -- which is one of my favourite dishes in Thuna Paha restaurant.
