If you're someone who loves trying new cuisines, you may have come across the delectable flavours of Sri Lankan cuisine. Sri Lankan dishes are rich in taste and history, with influences from Indian, Portuguese, Dutch, and British cuisines. At Akshayum, we specialize in Sri Lankan Catering Services and offer a range of dishes including Thali Meal, Bhoondhi Laddoos, and Vegetarian Thali Meal. But what if you want to incorporate these traditional dishes into your daily meals? Here are some tips to help you do just that.

Start with the basics

The foundation of Sri Lankan cuisine is rice and curry. You can start by making a simple plate of rice with a vegetable or meat curry. At Akshayum, we prepare our dishes using traditional herbs and spices without any additives. You can find many recipes online to help you recreate the same authentic taste in your own kitchen.

Experiment with spices

Sri Lankan dishes are known for their bold and unique flavour profiles, thanks to the use of a variety of spices. Some of the most commonly used spices include cumin, coriander, turmeric, cardamom, and cinnamon. Try adding some of these spices to your regular dishes to give them a Sri Lankan twist.

Add coconut

Coconut is a staple ingredient in Sri Lankan cuisine and is used in many dishes. You can add coconut milk or grated coconut to your curries or use coconut oil for cooking. Not only does it add flavour, but it also has many health benefits.

Incorporate traditional snacks

In addition to main dishes, Sri Lankan cuisine also offers a range of traditional snacks such as kottu roti, string hoppers, and pittu. These snacks are not only delicious but also easy to make at home. You can find recipes online and enjoy them as a snack or a light meal.

Try traditional desserts

Sri Lankan desserts are a perfect way to end a meal on a sweet note. Some popular desserts include wattalappam, kokis, and kavum. These desserts are usually made with coconut, jaggery, and rice flour. You can try making them at home or order them from Akshayum's range of Bhoondhi Laddoos.
