MENU
Sri Lankan cooking has evolved around rice. The national meal is not referred to as “curry” but as “rice and curry”: a mountainous plate of rice generally accompanied by assorted meat and/or vegetable curries, various pickles, sambols, and a handful of tiny poppadums.
Chinese fried rice is a family of fried rice dishes popular in Sri Lanka. It is sometimes served as the penultimate dish in Chinese banquets, just before dessert.
Kottu, also known as koththu rotti or kothu roti, is a Sri Lankan dish made from godhamba roti and vegetables, egg and/or meat, and spices.
Sweet, sour, devilishly hot but full of complex flavours. I ate quite a few of these in Sri Lanka and this one just about measures up. It took me quite a few goes to get it right because it’s all about the balance.
String hoppers are an essential part of a Sri Lankan breakfast. They are very good for smooshing into the curries and sambols.
