I love my country, which is an intangible mosaic of scenic nature, blended customs, years old history,blurred ethnic borders and remarkable traditions infused with ever changing climate. The flora - fauna and the wild life, sparkling sea and sandy beaches along with true hospitality is the greatest human trait which makes my Sri Lanka outstanding among others. Beyond the customary rice and curry, our cuisines boast an array of delectable short eats, snacks and desserts which truely are a testament to the fusion of global food influences that have left their mark on our island. Enjoing variety of meals full of tastes brought out with numerous spices makes our food special among others. Fried in fragrant coconut oil, fermented, baked, roasted, or steamed – our snacks are a symphony of flavors and textures. Each bite tells a story, echoing the footsteps of those who visited, traded, or even invaded Sri Lanka, leaving behind a delicious legacy in our local snacks. I am eagerly waiting to share these with non natives and make that legacy passes down through my guests who now visit Sri Lanka as travellers.
