Kottu Roti
Sri Lanka's iconic street food — shredded flatbread stir-fried with vegetables, egg, spices and your choice of chicken or vegetables on a sizzling hot griddle.
咖喱鱼、kottu roti、hops——来自印度洋明珠的富含椰子的火热烹饪。
斯里兰卡美食是最有层次的米饭和咖喱文化:一顿饭通常会在米饭周围配上四到六种咖喱——一种鱼或肉、几种蔬菜、椰丝蔬菜丝,再加上sambols。椰子贯穿了牛奶、油和肉等一切,而且热量是真实的——斯里兰卡的咖喱通常比南印度邻居更火爆,以红辣椒为主导,并以马尔代夫鱼、腌制金枪鱼片为 pol sambol 和许多咖喱增添鲜味。
决定性的技术是烤咖喱粉:香菜、小茴香、茴香和咖喱叶在研磨前进行深烤,赋予黑咖喱——尤其是奇蒂咖喱和南方风格的黑猪肉咖喱——烟熏的深度,并用 goraka(一种酸藤黄果)或罗望子作为酸味。漏斗 (appa)、边缘酥脆、中心有蛋奶冻的发酵米椰子碗、串漏斗和椰子烤饼构成了与南亚其他地方不同的早餐面包传统。
历史的层次更加丰富:泰米尔语的影响带来了 dosai 和pittu;马来定居者贡献了瓦塔拉潘(watalappan),即粗糖椰子奶油冻;荷兰市民留下了用香蕉叶烘烤的兰普雷、咖喱和米饭; kottu roti(切碎的 godamba roti,在煎锅上与咖喱、蔬菜和鸡蛋一起炒,发出撞击声)成为岛上的标志性街头食品。家庭厨师会用咖喱叶、班兰(rampe)和芥末籽在椰子油中调和。
米饭和咖喱
每日的搭配是:米饭周围放上几种咖喱、椰子绿叶蔬菜和三宝,平衡热量、酸味和浓郁度。
各种形式的椰子
椰奶使咖喱变得浓郁,椰子油使咖喱变得鲜美,新鲜的椰子则变成了 pol sambol 和 mallung。
烤咖喱粉
将香菜、小茴香、茴香和咖喱叶深烤,然后研磨,形成斯里兰卡黑咖喱的烟熏底料。
料斗和串料斗
将发酵的米椰子面糊煮熟放入脆边碗 (appa) 中或压入蒸面窝中作为早餐和晚餐。
桑博尔斯
火辣调味品——椰子、辣椒、酸橙和马尔代夫鱼的 pol sambol;捣碎的洋葱和辣椒制成的lunu miris——吃完每一盘。
科图罗蒂
切碎的戈丹巴罗蒂与蔬菜、鸡蛋和咖喱一起在叮当作响的煎锅上炒,这是斯里兰卡标志性的街头食品。

斯里兰卡美食以米饭和咖喱酱而闻名,每顿饭有多种菜肴、以深烤咖喱粉制成的椰奶咖喱、pol sambols 等火热的 sambols,以及漏斗面包、串漏斗面包和 kottu roti 等独特的面包传统。马尔代夫鱼片、咖喱叶、班兰和戈拉卡酸味赋予其与印度烹饪截然不同的风味。
斯里兰卡咖喱使用深色烤咖喱粉——将香菜、小茴香、茴香和咖喱叶烤至接近黑色——与大多数印度咖喱相比,味道更烟熏、更辣。椰奶几乎是通用的,而不是地方性的,马尔代夫的鱼添加了鲜味,而印度可能使用酥油或乳制品,酸味来自戈拉卡或酸橙。面包也有所不同:漏斗面包和串漏斗面包而不是烤饼和薄煎饼。
是的,斯里兰卡的食物是南亚最辣的食物之一,大多数咖喱中都含有红辣椒粉和新鲜的绿辣椒,而 Lunu miris 等调味品几乎是纯捣碎的辣椒。但膳食是自我平衡的:白米饭、冷却的椰子麦隆、木豆和酸奶配菜可以抵消热量,家庭厨师只需减少辣椒的用量,而不会失去烤香料的特性。
Parippu——斯里兰卡木豆咖喱——是完美的开始:红扁豆在椰奶和姜黄中慢炖,然后用芥末籽、咖喱叶、洋葱和干辣椒在热油中调温。与 pol sambol(新鲜或冷冻磨碎的椰子、辣椒、酸橙、盐)和米饭搭配,在四十分钟内即可享用真正具有代表性的一餐。
Hoppers (appa) 是一种碗状煎饼,由米粉和椰奶发酵面糊制成,在小圆底锅中烹制,边缘变得花边酥脆,而中心保持柔软。蛋斗中的鸡蛋在烹饪过程中破裂到底部。它们可以作为早餐或晚餐,与 Lunu miris、pol sambol 或咖喱一起舀入碗中。
