Traditional Sri Lankan recipes & finally to the dinner table with Chicken Kottu

To a distant eye, the onion yard seems like a field of paddy in a blueish tinge. It seems as if the yard of onion whispering secrets to the ever blowing wind. Even I could be carried away. Even if I plucked onions from the small yard the loss seems so little to the yield.

Feels bad if I was unable to make one of the most delicious delights, "Sinisambol Bread" to the family from the newly plucked onions.

Add a bit more Maldive fish to it and the filling would taste magnanimous

Father loved the tea I prepared by mixing cow's milk with cocoa powder, having it churned on fire till the tea became full of cream. He tasted every inch of it. Not just just one slice of "Sinisambol Bread" but two with the tea9.

Some left over carrots and capsicums were sliced together to make pickle including five to six onion bulbs. A little of it were made since my family doesn't like pickle much...

Prawns and cuttlefish were seasoned with turmeric and salt, left to be grilled with potatoes, onion, garlic and tomato that late evening Though I went to pick some wood in the dusk the heat of the sun was never old. On the way my sister handed me with a bag full of Madan/ Java Plum as gift from the heavens . As soon as I got home, made glass full of Madan squeezed a bit of lime to it since I was dying of thirst.

An endemic cuisine to Sri Lanka now a world famous delicacy is "Kottu". As Sri Lankans love it so much, it is very difficult to get inside a "Kottu" shop around the evening as it is full of people.

At our home my little brother prepares it since he has mastered the art of making "Kottu", the sound I make while making it is a bit of a nuisance.

To night's dinner serves a meat curry, roasted potato, baked prawn salad with a dish of "Kottu". The juice blended with soda doesn't taste so bad...❤❤❤

The closer you are to nature more blissful you become. As cessation of life become meaningful...

Blessing of the triple gem!!!

Love,
