Chapati is a type of Indian flat bread, it’s very popular in Sri lanka. It is a staple and made of really simple ingredients: wheat flour, salt and water only . Most people who are unfamiliar with spices, a curry is basically something that’s fiery and spicy but this potato dish is anything but spicy and is a great testament to what Sri Lankan curries can offer.

Accompanied by a mild, creamy coconut-ty base that is bright yellow in colour; this dish uses spices like turmeric and fenugreek seeds which are believed to carry a ton of medicinal properties. This is a super comforting and non-spicy curry dish that everyone can enjoy and is perfect dish to introduce curries to toddlers and those who are weary of curries. I love my potato white curry to be paired with a bowl of steaming hot rice and a spoonful of Vegemite, but it can also be enjoyed with stringhoppers Chapati ,Puttu ,Bread .

Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: Yarl Restaurant, 368 Colombo - Galle Main Rd, Colombo 00300, Sri Lanka

Pittu is a traditional breakfast item of steamed rice flour mixed with scraped coconut and salt. Pittu is cooked in a pittu bambuwa, a cylindrical vessel which is made from bamboo and wounded with coir.

The pittu mixture of rice flour and coconut is thus placed inside this bamboo structure and steamed over a vessel filled with water.
If you are a seafood lover and love eating spicy dishes, then you should definitely try Sri Lankan Crab Curry. This Asian recipe is prepared using crab meat, shallots and milk, and goes well with steamed rice/pulao traditionally. However, you can also enjoy this curry recipe with Pittu .

    Sampling the different food as we scooted around town, especially the coconut and feeling safe with my tuk tuk driver.

    A great Tuk Tuk tour that gives you the opportunity to try numerous dishes throughout the city of Colombo. Our driver picked us up from the hotel promptly and traversed the city with ease, shuttling us through bustling city markets. The food was delicious and versatile from a variety of restaurants. Highly recommend coming hungry though because it is a lot of food!!!

    Ricky was a great guide. He was friendly, listened and made food suggestions, and dropped me at my hotel even though it wasn’t downtown. Food was consistently great. I was really full, and ate better than I would have on my own.

    It’s nice long tour, tried all sorts of delicious dishes. Our guides were really friendly too. Bit more explanation on Sri Lankan cuisine would have been nice though.

    A well thought out tour led by a friendly and knowledgeable young man. We covered different areas in Colombo, and started with coffee and ended with desserts. We visited specialist shops and street vendors. We were lucky that another couple, in another Tuktuk were doing tour at the same time so we had an extra social element to the tour that we were not expecting but added to the whole experience.
