A hug in a bowl! Ginger and coconut congee (rice porridge) with spiced crispy garbanzo, topped with cilantro, black sesame, and a vibrant, punchy tang of pickled onion. This is the perfect winter food!

A hearty sweet potato, chickpea, golden grape tomato, dino kale and mustard greens soup with Lankan curry spices, togarashi and miso came out real nice for a chilly night.

Thanks for the greens!

Thank you for an amazingly fresh harvest over the weekend! Here's beetroot leaves and kale sautéed with coconut, cozy island spices, and a little citrus zing.

This week's culinary wowser: cottage cheese (savory) pancakes 🥞
Sounds weird, but hear us out...
It has a similar flavor to sourdough/ Ethiopian injera. The texture is like a mix between an arepa and the center of a hopper (a bowl-shaped Sri Lankan staple made out of fermented rice flour).
It was taken to the next level with batu (eggplant) and king oyster mushrooms that were slow cooked in a spicy broth-- and of course we upped the heat with some sliced thai green chillies.

Traditional rice and curry with a twist! Sri Lankan red rice with pol sambol (a zesty grated coconut flavor bomb), kiri kos (jackfruit slow cooked in a creamy turmuric coconut milk curry), papadam (crispy lentil flour crackers), and *drum roll* the twist: green chilli omelette strips topped with a spicy chimichurri-esque sauce that pairs surprisingly well with this otherwise traditional meal.

That crispy spiced kiribath experiment came out well!
Coconut milk rice pan fried and spiced up. These hearty bites work by themselves or topped up with spicy tuna and avo.

Our three-cheese spicy mac and cheese aka crack and cheese!

We started with mustard, cumin, poppy and curry mixes along with onion, curry leaves, arbol.. fried up in butter!

It deceptively looks like a regular mac and cheese. Forgot to take a good pic, here's a half-eaten one!

Merry Christmas, from ours to yours! Have a ball 🎄

Featured here are Sri Lankan cutlets-- the perfect spicy potato concoction wrapped in batter and breadcrumbs and (air)fried for that nice crunch.

Tried our take on curry meets tamales!

Inspired by Peruvian tamales where the masa is flavored. One filling was curried jackfruit and chickpeas, another was curried pork. Topped with tri-mushrooms and feta.

Combined two favorites, chickpeas and jackfruit, into a coconut based curry with some Lankan and Indian spices. Spicy, aromatic, tangy.

A Sunday lunch is a special affair. A luscious meal shared, followed up by a highly likely nap 😬

Attempted a masala tea cake with fresh spices in the cake and the glaze too! Gotta work on the tea flavor next time, didn't come through as much as the aromatics and spices did.

Threw in some mixes for good measure too.
