The Island of Spice

Fresh Coconut, Fresh Curry Leaves.. Dozens of Spices... All the trademark of Sri Lankan Food.

Fresh, Zesty.. Hot and Spicy.. Srilankan food is the culmination of Singhalese, Tamil and Muslim influences to provide its distinctly diverse and jam-packed flavour.

Corriander

Curry Leaves

Pandan Leaf

Cumin

Fenegreek

Cloves

Cardamon

Tumeric

Commonly mistaken as being the same as Indian Food, most likely due to its close geographical proximity, Sri-Lankan cuisine is uniquely distinct by its use of coconut milk and being fiery hot.

The main staple of a Sri-Lankan plate is Steamed Rice, which would have one or two meat curries as the feature of the dish. There would commonly be an assortment of four to five accompaniments to the meat curry varying from vegetables, lentils or pickles to name a few.
