Ambul Thiyal

Despite its name, this fish curry is not very acidic and is one of the most delicious ways to cook fish. This dish originates from the way of preserving fish. A paste made from dried goraka, widely known as Garcinia Cambogia, a tropical fruit, helps preserve fish for a week without refrigeration.

Fish cubes, ideally tuna, are simmered in a mixture of spices, including cinnamon, turmeric, garlic, black pepper, curry leaves and pandan leaves until they form a thick layer. This is what gives it a unique taste, which pairs really well with the rice.

Kaju Maluwa

Even meat lovers won't go without meat with this gluten-free vegan dish. Its main ingredient is cashews (obviously!), and this curry is an all-time favorite on special occasions.

In contrast to the typical spicy Sri Lankan food, kaju curry is mild and has a subtle crunch. Its creamy texture complements all types of menus. The cashews are soaked in a light salty water to give them just the right seasoning and to be able to absorb the full flavor of the mild spices. If you need to cater to a fussy eater, Sri Lankan cashew curry might be the answer.

Kiribath

This dish is associated with all traditional Sri Lankan celebrations, including the Sri Lankan New Year, which is celebrated in April, birthdays, weddings, Buddhist rituals, etc. Tourists generally know it as rice milk. As the name implies, the main ingredients are rice and coconut milk. Instead of water, Sri Lankan milk rice is cooked with lots of coconut milk. It imparts a creamy taste and is often eaten with local chili paste and/or curry.

Gotukola Sambola

If you're a fan of leafy greens and looking for a dish that's healthy and easy to make, gotukola sambola is a delicious option. Sambola, which means salad, is a simple blend of finely chopped pennywort leaves, grated coconut, salt, and lemon, along with just enough chopped Maldives fish for added flavour.

This superfood is widely known as an immune booster that also rejuvenates the nervous system. Loaded with vitamins and cooling properties that help balance body heat, it also has many therapeutic and medicinal benefits.
