Sri Lankan FoodsSri Lankan cuisine is one of the most complex cuisines of South Asia.A simple meal may consist of rice, some sambol made with chilli, pickles or chutney, and at least one vegetable curry or dhal. Then there may also be a huge range of dishes from meat-based, many more vegetable-based and seafood dishes.
Sri Lankan banquets are incredibly colourful, with curries that range from yellow to deep brown, the vibrant greens of the vegetables, and the bright colours of sambol. Besides being a daily staple, rice also features in celebratory dishes such as kiribath, or milk rice, which is traditionally the first solid food given to a baby, as well at weddings and on New Year’s Day. |
