Colombo, Sri Lanka
6 dishes to eat in Colombo, what is in them, and where they belong.
Not one dish but a spread — five or six curries, sambol, papadam. The measure of a Sri Lankan kitchen.
Godamba roti chopped on a griddle with egg, vegetables and meat, to a rhythm you hear before you see it.
Bowl-shaped fermented rice pancakes, plain or with an egg cracked into the middle.
Grated coconut, chilli, lime and Maldive fish, pounded together. On every table.
Rice, meat and sambols baked in a banana leaf — a Dutch Burgher dish, and unlike anything else on the island.
Fried snacks — cutlets, malu paan, rolls — sold from bakery trays by the piece.
