Sri Lankan food is loved by the whole world for the authenticity they have. But have you ever tried out Tamil cuisine in Sri Lanka? It has a different excitement!
Tamil food culture
Yes, it shows great similarities with the South Indian Cuisine, but it’s not exactly that. Spices are all from Sri Lanka, so that gives out a different flavour. A unique one!
Home of Tamil Cuisine
The northern part of the country (Jaffna) is considered the ‘home’ of this special cuisine. But today, you find Tamil dishes almost in every part of Sri Lanka.
Trying out Tamil dishes
No, you don’t need to travel to Jaffna to try out Tamil dishes. Even if you have planned your session of high tea in Nuwara Eliya at a property the likes of Heritance Tea Factory, just stay for a while more until they arrange dinner to taste some of the best Tamil dishes out there.
Jaffna Curry
Jaffna Curry can be called the most popular dish. This is served even in Colombo today, but the name goes the same. It’s a beautiful mix of 11 spices blended with tomato paste and coconut milk.
