Kumar's Dosa Bar & Farm

Somerset, England

Project Overview

Growing up on a farm in Sri Lanka, Kumar moved to the UK after the civil war. Having been a livestock farmer for most of his life, in 2015 he instead started cooking masala dosa at markets across the South West – giving respite to his flock of sheep.
