Sri Lankan Pol Sambol

May 8, 2009

Pol sambol is an absolutely delightful dish, a food of the gods, if you will. It ranks as one of my top ten foods of all time, and depending on the day, might just be the winner.
Sadly, we ate most of the Pol Sambol before I managed to remember to take a picture. Can [...]

Pol (Coconut) Roti

May 4, 2009

I’ve seen my mother-in-law make coconut roti a few times, but haven’t made it myself and even, somehow, managed to not write her recipe down. Considering how much I love coconut roti, I can’t imagine why I wasn’t thinking!
So when time came for me to make [...]

Tempered Okra Curry

May 1, 2009

Okra is called ladies fingers in English in Sri Lanka or bandakka in Sinhala. I’m used to calling it okra, so that’s what I’ll go with.
One of Fahim’s cousin, knowing that I’m interested in cooking Sri Lankan food, gave me a Sri Lankan cookbook [...]

Spiced and salted pineapple? Seriously?

August 24, 2003

For breakfast, we had Fahim’s version of pineapple. Remove skin and ends like normal, then slice into rounds. Mix chilli powder and salt in a 1:3 ratio. Comment about chilli powder – it’s not the same chilli powder as what you get in North America – this is closer to a cayenne powder, but not [...]

Selling fish from the back of a motorcycle

August 23, 2003

This morning, we heard a guy yelling in Sinhalese from his motorcycle as he drove down our street. I asked Fahim what he was saying, and Fahim says he’s selling fish, and do we want some? Why not? So we go outside and negotiate prices with the guy.
Fahim asks what kind of fish, but he [...]
