What’s on the Sharing Platter?
🍛 What’s on the Sharing Platter? A July 2025 Culinary Showcase
The selection varies depending on what fresh, local ingredients are available for our Sri Lankan Sharing Platter.
For our guests in early July 2025, here’s what we served—and what makes each dish so special:
🌰 Jackfruit Curry
Young jackfruit is simmered until tender, absorbing a medley of spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Its meaty texture makes it a popular vegan substitute, rich in fiber and satisfying on its own.
🌿 Spinach and Dhal Curry
This wholesome combination features local spinach and red lentils, gently spiced and cooked in coconut cream. It’s protein-rich, mellow, and always a crowd-pleaser—especially for those seeking a gentle introduction to Sri Lankan spices.
Healthy leaves
🥬 Mallum
A refreshing stir-fry of shredded greens, coconut, and lime juice, mallum adds brightness to the platter. This dish showcases the Sri Lankan philosophy of balancing flavour, texture, and nutrition.
🔥 Devilled Potatoes
A nod to fusion cuisine, these spiced and stir-fried potatoes are coated in with aromatic spices. Not overly spicy, they’re designed to appeal to Western tastes while still packing bold flavour.
🍆 Aubergine Curry
Deep-fried eggplant slices are simmered in a tangy, slightly sweet curry sauce—thanks to the magic of tamarind and a sprinkle of sugar.
It’s silky, smoky, and utterly addictive.
This dish is one of my favourites in the Sri Lankan sharing platter.

🫘 Kollu (Horse Gram)
Kollu is a traditional legume known for its digestive properties. Cooked with garlic, pepper, and a touch of tamarind, it delivers a rustic depth and satisfying crunch.
🌸 Banana Flower Curry
Delicate layers of banana blossom are finely chopped and cooked with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and coconut milk. It’s earthy, subtly nutty, and packed with nutrients like iron and antioxidants.
