Colombo street food stores

Why Colombo street food stores is special ?

Must try dishes:

Curd and treacle is one of Sri Lanka’s most popular desserts and is often sold on the beaches of the south coast by street vendors for about 50 cents a pot. It is also served on special occasions such as a wedding buffet, religious feast or festival.

Traditionally in Sri Lanka the curd is made from the milk of the herds of buffalos that roam along the roadsides. It is then allowed to set in a clay pot known as a kiri hatti, which is also made by villagers. Once the curd has been eaten people use the pots for cooking, or add wire and fill them with hanging plants. Others put a hole in the bottom, paint the pot with white dots and nail it to the wall at the front of the house to attract sparrows to nest.
