Hyderabad: Throughout the years of colonisation and foreign influence, Sri Lanka has transformed its culinary tradition into a fusion of delectable foods and various curry combinations.
A Sri Lankan Food Festival is being held at the Novotel Hyderabad Convention Centre through November 13 in association with Chef Anura Lenora of Food Exchange.
During the 10-day event, Chef Anura, who is from the island nation, is prepared to wow the crowd with his culinary prowess while displaying the genuinely rustic and genuine flavours of the locale.
Sri Lankan cuisine is one of the most varied and delivers a lovely fusion of real flavours and fragrances. The cuisine has a long history and consists of several mouthwatering meals cooked with real spices, seafood, and other curry mixtures.
The legendary spices and tea of Sri Lanka, as well as the colonial influences of the Portuguese, Dutch, and British, are all reflected in the cuisine. Malay and South Indian traders have also had an impact on Sri Lankan cuisine.
