Sri Lankan Cookbook: Traditional Sri Lankan Recipes Made Easy

Product Information

I think Sri Lankan food is on the way to being one of the “trendy” cuisines. It was recently included in a few round-ups by some big media channels. I would also love to see Sri Lankan food get its well-deserved recognition: the flavors, the spices, the textures – it’s like nothing else I have tried. Tempered Prawns, Yellow Rice, Blue Swimmer Crab & Sweet Chilli, Sambals, Coconut Roti, and Lamb Curry with Coriander. Sri Lanka, also known as ‘The Pearl of the Indian Ocean’, is an island country located in South Asia. Because Sri Lanka was a hub for foreign traders who frequently brought new food and culture to the country, Sri Lankan cuisine is heavily influenced by Indian, Indonesian, Middle Eastern, and Dutch cuisines making Sri Lankan cookbooks with an incredibly diverse list of recipes! Kiri toffee (milk toffee) and pol toffee (coconut toffee) are prepared for major celebrations in Sri Lanka, including Sinhala and Tamil New Year, or without any reason at all. Milk toffee is a mixture of sugar syrup with condensed milk. Sometimes chopped cashew nuts are added to enhance the flavor. Pol toffee is a variation of toffee that is made with grated coconut. Both can be found in small road side shops and supermarkets, but the best ones are homemade toffees. Parippu, or dhal curry, is the most common curry in all of Sri Lankan cuisine, a staple in any restaurant or household. Masoor dhal (split red lentils) are first rinsed and boiled until soft.

If I had to choose one breakfast meal to eat for the rest of my life, it would be Sri Lankan roast paan with pol sambol and dhal curry (more about pol sambol and dhal curry below). Just so you know, “roast” is pronounced “ros”. For the longest time I thought “ros” is a Sinhalese word until somebody explained that it’s “roast” meaning that paan (bread) has been roasted. Roast paan is very thin and looks like a slice of bread rather than a bread loaf, but that’s what makes it so crispy when baked. It is sold in street shops and bakeries and best enjoyed fresh and hot out of the oven along with dhal curry and pol sambol.Each year, our staff and contributors round up their best gift ideas for cooks, eaters, and the kitchen curious.
