Filipino Deep Fried Squid Rings or Cuttlefish Strips

May 25, 2009

While the grocery store had both squid and cuttlefish, we ended up buying cuttlefish over the squid for two reasons – the cuttlefish are significantly cheaper and require much less work to clean up. Yeah, squid rings are prettier, more elegant, than cuttlefish strips, but honestly, with just the hubby, do [...]

Capsicum Curried in Coconut Milk

May 24, 2009

I’ve made this dish before for Fahim and I, and we really like it. Then, one day, his parents were here and I made it again, and they agreed that it was good and said I could make it again. For them, that’s high praise!
The original [...]

Seeni Sambol – a lovely Sri Lankan dish

May 17, 2009

My mother-in-law makes a lovely seeni sambol – spicy, sweet onion sambol – that I love. But I didn’t have her recipe, so had to see what I could find. Because, of course, I had to have seeni sambol to go with my coconut roti.
This picture [...]

63% Hydration Sourdough Bread

May 16, 2009

I’m forever on the hunt for more good bread recipes. It’s a sickness, I tell you. So I gave this recipe a try. The author of the original recipe calls it a 6% hydration bread, but really, if I’m going to get nitpicky, and when doesn’t that happen, I’d [...]

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 [...]

Lime Icing

April 24, 2009

You know that banana cake I made a while back with the very very lovely cream cheese icing? Well, it turns out that this lime icing (original recipe found here) goes with the banana cake even better. Lime with banana? Oh yeah, baby!
I gave it a try since I didn’t have any cream cheese, but [...]

Sourdough Focaccia Bread

April 22, 2009

I decided it was time I learned how to make focaccia bread. I’d had it perhaps once before, sometime around a decade ago, and the memory is rather hazy, so I’m not really intimately familiar with the end result I should be aiming for. Ah, yes, the fun.
But, you know, what else is [...]

A mallung (also spelled mallum) is a Sri Lankan dish made with some type of vegetable or leaf that’s cooked with freshly shredded coconut. They’re usually cooked for a fairly short period of time and are fairly quick dishes to put together.
A note on cabbage. [...]
