Sri Lankan Specialities
Rice is the staple of Sri Lankan cuisine and the national dish (rice and curry), and rice
flour is also a basis for some unique foods. Many Sri Lankans are vegetarian, so meat-free
eating is easy and vegetables are plentiful. Coconut is also added to most dishes. 'Devilled
dishes' are any type of meat or fish cooked in a spicy, sweet-and-sour style sauce with
onion and peppers.
Rice
Hoppers Bowl-shaped pancakes (also called appa or appam ) made from rice flour,
coconut milk and palm toddy. If eggs are added it becomes an egg hopper. Sambol is often
added for flavouring.
