THE DEPTHS OF COLOMBO'S NIGHT LIFE
December 2016 - January 2017

My next culinary experience was
trying street snacks such as Kotthu,
cutlets, samosas, vadai and many
others depending on the regional
varying ingredients, which were
found mainly on the streets of the
major cities. They give you the
opportunity to try the local flavours
and is much more interesting than
visiting local restaurants.
This is not a surprise to anyone, but
the most enjoyable experience was
when we tried home cooked meals
which were traditionally and lovingly
prepared. Like in many countries, in
Sri Lanka every mother passes her
daughter the secret family recipes
and traditions. I wanted to learn
how to prepare some of local home
cooked meals and luckily, I had such
an opportunity as I was able a visit
to the local market and prepare the
meal from scratch. I learnt to cook
dhal curry, chicken curry, vegetable
cutlets, pol sambol and coconut
pancakes.
