The opportunity finally arose for Karan after he met and married his wife Sunaina Sethi, one of three siblings who founded JKS restaurants – the London based group who at that point already ran the likes of Trishna, Bubbledogs and Gymkhana. After conversations with both Jyotin and Karam Sethi about new restaurant concepts and JKS’s plans for expansion, Karan decided to fully dedicate himself to a career in food, and one concept in particular really appealed to him, ‘opening a restaurant had never really been about the cuisine for me,’ he explains, ‘I just knew it needed to be something close to my heart and something I could represent authentically. But I remember at our wedding in Kerala having a conversation with Karam about doing a Sri Lankan and being very interested. I obviously hadn’t grown up there but there was a lot of that culture around me, I’d travelled there a lot and I just loved the food. Around that time, people in the UK were also coming to understand hyper-regional food and that was something we felt we could really tap into.’ The recipes, by Pollyanna Coupland, concentrate on small plates, Sunday lunches, date night dinners and summer feasts. Most have a comfort food feel: for example, coq au vin is presented in a suet pastry as a pudding; roast pork belly is recreated as surf and turf and served with a brown crab dauphinoise and baked apples; or scallops are added to the bacon and cheese sauce of a carbonara. A stomach-swelling risotto is taken to new double-carb heights by using both potatoes and rice along with Cheddar, the resulting dish being "reminiscent of silky aligot". Karan is a supremely talented chef - his beautifully curated selection of recipes will enliven your senses and transport you on a journey to Sri Lanka. * Jose Pizarro * Top with a drizzle of coconut oil or dollop of butter and a spoonful of freshly grated coconut before serving.

Now add the curry leaves (along with the stalks and all) and remaining ground spices. Fry for 20 seconds and then add the coconut milk. Add the frozen peas to the sauce and simmer for 5 to 8 minutes on a medium heat, then season with salt and sugar to your taste. Sometimes you'll replace an ingredient, sometimes present it in a different way, sometimes combine ingredients that although traditionally wouldn't appear together, by all rights are perfect bedfellows.

Here was a modern restaurant that was stylish and bang on trend serving a menu of elevated street food at non central London prices. The restaurant was - and still is – fun, energetic and full of character, much like Gokani himself.
