That’s a nice honest review about mostly unknown cuisines! Lovely ❤️ 10:20 you are having kind of “young Jack fruit” dish, in Sinhalese called “Herali Malluma - හෙරලි මැල්ලුම" Jack fruit (JF) is versatile and every stage of is life could be used and prepared in different manner and at the end once it’s ripe, a delicious fruit! - Baby JF - Polos - පොලොස් (Vegans Meat) - Young JF - Herali - හෙරලි l - Mature JF - Kos - කොස් - Ripped JF - Waraka/Wela (depend on the texture) - වරකා/වැල About the JF seed it’s a “Protein Nugget” and contains more protein/g than soya bean. Matured seeds are very nice to consumed either deep fried or roasted to have with. Sri Lankan has mastered various ways to preserve the JF, seeds and it’s another topic to discuss 😊 #visitsrilanka2022

There are several variations of kothu. Eg: string hopper , dolphin or cheese kothu. You need to add meet like chicken (bbq or roast or curry), beef, sea food to bring out more flavor. Also there is 1-2 eggs in a kothu.

You're the funniest couple I've ever seen in youtube 😆 That's what makes your travels in srilanka so memorable. Just a tip: we don't drink alcohol in restaurants. Because it's not good for children and most srilankan women don't drink. That bartender said you can have your food in the bar with your drink, which you didn't hear

Hey! Nice to see you! That pumpkin skin normally we eat. It's very good for heart and healthy! Fried rice and koththu we eat with spoon. Because those are already mixed with vegetables and meats! If there have something to mix we eat with hands! With hands we can get more taste than spoon! Local whiskey ' arrak ' that's make using coconut flower. It's strong and little smell! 🥃

3.56 this food is called as Ambarella in Sri Lanka (probably according to the way it looks like) . Its also known as June plum, golden apple . Scientific name - Spondias dulcis. And it usually tastes sour when its not ripen and when ripen it has a mixture of less sour and more sweet taste. You can eat it without cooking (with salt and sugar etc.) , specially when ripen.

you are making my mouth to salaivate with every mouthful. Pumpkin is one of my favourite vegetable and you can buy this variety in Asian supermarkets all year round. The halloween pumpkin has no flavour but at the same time you should be able to buy small gourds which can be cooked similar to a Sri Lankan curry. I always buy a few, cut into small cubes, blanch freeze and use in curries. The same can be done with Jak fruit as well. Enjoy!

I think the mango looking curry may have been a ‘golden apple’ curry. It’s popular in srilanka for cooking but also in the Caribbean, for making fresh juice. The pumpkin skin, it’s preference, you can either eat or not eat it, and you are not breaking any table etiquettes by eating it. The odd yellow mixture is a jackfruit + coconut salad (jackfruit mallum).
@Tharushithushanka 2 жыл бұрын
After seeing how you mix up all the curries with the rice,that is when we knew you are not born and raised in Sri Lanka😌 Homemade jackfruit curry is much tastier than the restaurant jackfruit curry.Once you taste it, you will feel like eating every day. however ,thanks for supporting our local business in this difficult time.

Fried Rice and Kottu are already mixed well. So there is no need to use hand. We use hands to eat only because it's the best way to mix foods. So if the food is already mixed, use a spoon. It's simple.
