Spicy chicken and veg noodles
Dinner tonight!! A quick, easy but a delicious recipe! Instant noodles dressed up with chicken, vegetables and my blend of spices and sauces 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Having lived in Australia for almost 7 years now, the one thing that still fascinates me when I think of Sri Lanka is when we have a party at home and one of my Aunts (Sylvia) come down to help us make the famous Sri Lankan Spicy Cutlet known as the Spicy Fish Croquettes. By the time it’s made and fried we would have easily tasted 10-15 of them before it hits the table. Sometimes we make 100’s of them and that’s one of the hit items on the table. Over the years I have taken the recipe from my Aunt Sylvia and revamped it to the modern table. Just a few extra spices that I add and an entire new look on plating of this master piece. It tastes delicious just as it looks 🤤🤤🤤
Pickled eggplant
Sri Lankan wambatu moju(batu moju or eggplant moju). Wambatu moju also known as brinjal moju are fried eggplant strips, shallots, and green chillies mixed with mustard vinegar to pickle them giving it a combo of sweet, sour, and heat. Some people use banana capsicum in the dish as well although I personally don’t like it. This is my take on the brinjal or eggplant pickle. I have added the traditionally used items with freshly ground musted seeds with white vinegar in a motor and pestle and instead of sugar I added Kithul treacle and a bit of bee honey with some peanuts for that crunch element.. tastes and smells divine 🤤🤤🙏🏻🙏🏻
Tashyas 19th
Keeping with traditions passed down by my mum, celebrating Tashya’s birthday with morning breakfast with Milk-rice known as kiribath alongside a red lentil curry with spinach, spicy fish curry and a sambol known as lunumiris which is a combination of onions, chilli flakes, dried fish chips (maldive fish), salt and lime to taste. For Sri Lankans, milk rice denotes good luck, prosperity and blessings and is an integral part of the Sri Lankan culture. All new beginnings and auspicious occasions are marked with the consumption of milk rice, mixed together with one's fingers, with lunu miris and some side dishes 🥳🥳🤤🤤
