Delicious Food

Sri Lanka is also the home of delectable curries and rice, in addition to its stunning beaches and unconventional tea. While Sri Lankan food is similar to South Indian food, it also has a unique flavor profile that is indescribable. Years of colonization have left their mark on Sri Lankan cuisine, as evidenced by the variety of foods, inventive curry recipes, and distinctive bread like Theti Paan and Roast Paan.

You might question how such a small nation can have such a wide variety of food. Sri Lankan cuisine is distinctive not just because of the varied flora and fauna but also because of the country's diversified ethnic population. Traders from India, Europe, Arabia, Africa, and the Malay World arrived in Sri Lanka in the 15th and 16th centuries, bringing with them their local cuisines, as well as various cooking methods and styles. Examples include Lamprais, which has Dutch characteristics, the majority of the sweets, which are Portuguese, and roasted beef and chicken, which have British influences.
