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 [...]

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 [...]

Ala Badun, aka Sri Lankan Devilled Potato & Onions

April 13, 2009

I’m not a potato person. I grew up on boiled-until-glue potatoes six days a week and, you know, it just got old. Once I had a choice about what food was made/what groceries were bought, I swore off potatoes for a good many years.
A few [...]

I’m participating in a new-for-me food blogging type of event – it’s called Weekend Herb Blogging and this week it’s hosted by Chriesi at Almond Corner.

Sri Lankan Food and Me

March 7, 2009

The question came up on Twitter about me, a Canadian, living in Sri Lanka, and what are my cuisine experiences, how do I cope, and whatnot. That’s really quite a big question in a lot of ways.
Sri Lankan food is quite spicy. From what I hear, it’s on the spicy end of the scale [...]

Fried Fish

January 30, 2009

This is a very basic, easy recipe that requires little work, and it’s good for any small fish like salaya, handella, or sprats, all of which are fish under 5″ long.
If you fry it only until the flesh of the fish is cooked, then the small bones can be, ah, uncomfortable going down. [...]
