If you think Sri Lankan food is the same as South Indian cuisine, you are in for a minor shock. While many dishes have similar names and appearances, Sri Lankan cuisine has a distinct flavour profile.
Sri Lankan cuisine is a blend of its colonial past and has Indian, Arabic, Malay, Portuguese, and Dutch influences. However, Sri Lankan food is believed to be much spicier than any of the other cuisines that it draws from.
Appam, Polos, Kukul Mas Curry, Gotukola Sambol are some of the delectable dishes that are part of this cuisine. Because of the easy availability of seafood, it features in a majority of Sri Lankan dishes.
