  • Fish ambul thiyal (sour fish curry) As you'd expect from an island in the Indian Ocean, seafood plays an important role in Sri Lankan cuisine. Fish ambul thiyal (sour fish curry) is one of the most beloved varieties of the many different fish curries available.
  • Kottu (also, kottu roti) Over the traffic and noise at a Sri Lankan market, you'll likely hear the clanking of metal on metal and know kottu isn't far away.
  • Kukul mas curry (chicken curry) Simple to make, chicken curry is a common household dish in Sri Lanka. There are many variations depending on region and taste preferences.
  • Parippu (dhal curry) 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.
  • Lamprais. Sri Lanka has been influenced by a diversity of cultures and one of the most evident is the Dutch Burgher community. Lamprais, a word that combines the two Dutch words for "lump" and "rice," is a combination of meat, rice and sambol chili sauce, wrapped into a banana leaf packet and steamed.
  • Hoppers (appa or appam) Also, string hoppers (indi appa or idiyappam) Hoppers are the Sri Lankan answer to the pancake. The batter is made from a slightly fermented concoction of rice flour, coconut milk, sometimes coconut water and a hint of sugar.
  • Polos (green jackfruit curry) Jackfruit is consumed in a number of different stages of ripeness, from very ripe and sweet to green and starchy. Polos is a Sri Lankan curry prepared with young green jackfruit.
  • Wambatu moju (eggplant/brinjals pickle) Served mostly with rice and curries, wambatu moju is an extremely flavorful candied eggplant (brinjals) pickle.
  • Gotu kola sambol (pennywort salad) One of the most readily available green vegetable dishes in Sri Lanka is gotu kola sambol. Gotu kola (known in English as Asiatic pennywort) is a medicinal herb in Asia.
  • Kiribath with lunu miris. Kiribath is a special type of rice, cooked with thick coconut milk and often served during special or auspicious occasions, such as Sinhalese New Year.

  • Rice and Curry. Rice and Curry is the traditional staple dish in Sri Lanka. It's eaten everywhere, usually twice a day by almost everyone. When you see “Rice and Curry” in Sri Lanka, it refers to several small plates of curry yummies varying from chicken and fish to vegetarian dishes like dal, garlic curry, aubergine curry, pumpkin curry, green bean curry… always served with rice and a few small plates of pickled vegetables.
  • Deviled Prawns. As we mentioned already, Sri Lanka is an island, which means seafood lovers will be in heaven here! The term ‘deviled' refers to spicy dishes in Sri Lankan cuisine.
  • Egg hoppers (Bittara Appa) Hoppers (appa) are the Sri Lankan version of pancake batter, made with coconut milk and fermented rice flour. They are then cooked in a small wok-like pan so that the dough becomes thick and soft on the bottom, and thin/crunchy around the edges.
  • String hoppers. String hoppers are the other main ‘hopper' you'll find in Sri Lanka but these ones are made from a thicker rice flour batter base than that of egg hoppers.
  • Kothu Roti. Kothu (or kottu) roti is a Sri Lankan Tamil dish, which is literally a plate of chopped up roti mixed with curry sauce then served with vegetables and meat or eggs.
  • Watalappam. Watalappam is an absolutely heavenly Sri Lankan desert introduced by Malay immigrants. It is made from coconut milk, cashew nuts, egg, jaggery (a sweet brown product that comes from sugarcane) and various spices, particularly cardamom, cloves and nutmeg.
  • Lamprais. Lamprais is a Sri Lankan dish that really shows some of the outside influences on the country's cuisine and how they became regarded as “Sri Lankan” food.
  • Fish Ambul Thiyal. Sour fish curry may not sound like the most appetizing meal but trust us, it actually is! And sour fish curry is exactly what fish ambul thiyal is; a dish that originated in Sri Lanka as a way to preserve fish without requiring refrigeration.
  • Wambatu Moju. Wambatu moju is the Sri Lankan dish that not only has a funny name (anyone else thinking “wombat mojo” or is that just us?) but is also super tasty AND vegetarian to boot!
  • Kiribath. For something quite simple, the Sri Lankan dish of kiribath is one that is rich in meaning. It's basically made by cooking rice with coconut milk until all the liquid is absorbed, then shaping the sticky rice into blocks to be cut and served like slices of cake.


SRI LANKAN FOOD: 40 OF THE ISLAND'S BEST DISHES

  • Fish Curry and Mixed Rice. There’s nothing more common to eat as Sri Lankan food than a nutritious plate of rice and curry. You normally get a plate of rice piled with a few of the daily vegetable curries and a choice of fish curry as well.
  • Deviled Sweet and Sour Fish Curry. There are a lot of different deviled dishes in Sri Lanka. This fish was deep fried and smothered in a lovely sweet and sour sauce and lightly fried again with red onions and banana peppers.
  • Chili Fish Curry. This particular fish curry in Sri Lanka reminded me of the Burmese food curry that I also highly enjoyed, except it was often a bit heavier on the spice blend, which I loved.
  • Sri Lankan Dhal Curry (Parippu) Dhal curry is one of the most commonly consumed staple dishes in Sri Lankan cuisine. The dhal, usually masoor dhal which are red lentils, are often cooked in a beautiful blend of spices, and then a few spoons of coconut milk are added to create a rich stew.
  • Young Jackfruit Curry (Polos) Sri Lankan food is famous for its curries – and “polos“, or young jackfruit curry, is one of my personal favorites. Jackfruit is eaten in a number of different ripeness stages in Sri Lanka, but for preparing polos, the young, unripe jackfruit is used.
  • Gotukola Sambol (Pennywort Salad) Green leafy vegetables aren’t the most common thing to eat in Sri Lanka, though the cooking does call for many tuberous vegetables.
  • Beetroot Curry. A plate of Sri Lankan curry and rice is complete only when a nice helping of beetroot curry is included! No that’s not really true, you can have a plate of curry without beetroot.
  • Vegetarian Kottu. An extremely popular Sri Lankan street food dish is known as kottu or kottu roti. Essentially it is composed of shredded pieces of Sri Lankan godamba roti, which is sort of like a giant sized paratha (an oily fried piece of thin dough), that is stir fried with an assortment of spices and a choice of other meaty (or vegetarian) ingredients.
  • Egg Kottu. Another variation of kottu is with vegetables and egg – a very good combo, one of my particular favorite variations of the dish. The vegetables include a few meager sprigs of leek, onions, and cabbage, and the sizzling godamba roti is lathered with egg to make it even richer…and more delicious.
  • Cheese Kottu. If vegetarian kottu is the hamburger of Sri Lanka, cheese kottu is the quadruple bacon cheeseburger. Yellow curry powder flavor is bumped up a few notches with cheese kottu and it’s a Sri Lankan food that you just can’t miss.
