Delicious food to try in Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is a melting pot of flavours, with a diverse culinary scene that reflects its history and culture. One of the must-try dishes is "Rice and Curry," a staple of Sri Lankan cuisine that features a variety of curries made with different meats and vegetables, and served with steamed rice. Another must-try is "Kottu," a street food dish made with roti bread, vegetables, and meat or seafood, all chopped and stir-fried together with spices. For seafood lovers, restaurants in Kalutara serve phenomenal "Ambul Thiyal" which is a must-try; it's a sour fish curry made with black pepper, chilli, and tamarind. "Hoppers" are a popular breakfast dish, made from fermented rice flour and coconut milk, and can be served sweet or savoury. Usually, this is a popular breakfast option at hotels such as Mermaid Hotel & Club. Another must-try is "Pol Sambol", a traditional Sri Lankan condiment made from grated coconut, chilli, lime, and Maldive fish. Lastly, don't miss out on the tropical fruits of Sri Lanka, such as mango, papaya, and pineapple, which are often served as a dessert or a snack.
