The Curry Pincher

The Curry Pincher Sri Lankan Street Food for pop-ups, markets and private catering. Private cookery lessons available

What can I say about me... well I started cooking when I was very young, in fact I think I first learnt to cook rice and dhal when I was about 6 in miniature clay pots someone bought me as a gift, on a fire in the garden. Both my parents were Dutch Sri Lankan and both were prolific cooks. Not a day went by without one or other of them cooking up something experimental or traditional (and of course

spending a lot of time telling the other one what they could do better!). I have long held a dream of starting a food business but it was not until late last year that I found myself in the position of being able to do so and it took quite some months of thought and encouragement to get here. The name "The Curry Pincher" is derived from the Sri Lankan word for curry leaves, "Karapincha". My food is personal to me, and I'm really looking forward to sharing that with you.

Mmmmm Kottu! One of my all time favourite Sri Lankan street food dishes. Stir fried vegetables and gentle spices with shredded paper thin roti and any curry you like. A distant cousin of a Pad Thai. Add a little spicy coconut sambol on the side and you have a bowl full of love and happiness. The perfect lunch or comforting dinner after a long day. 👌🏽😋
