A Brief Look Back at Sri Lanka’s Food History
Sri Lankan cuisine is a diverse and flavuorful culinary tradition that has been influenced by various cultures throughout history.
The island of Sri Lanka has been a crossroads of trade and cultural exchange for centuries, and this is reflected in the country's cuisine. From rice as a staple, to local fruits and vegetables, and the unique spices and nuts found in the island, Sri Lankan cuisine has a truly unique story to tell. The introduction of tea became part of everyday life, as it also found its way into dishes that included curries and sweets. Today, Sri Lankan cuisine is known for its use of spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, and cumin, as well as its focus on rice, coconut, and seafood. Popular dishes include rice and curry, string hoppers (steamed rice flour noodles), and kottu roti (chopped roti bread with vegetables and meat).
