Sri Lankans love spicy food, even when it comes to fruits! Achcharu is basically half-ripe fruits that have been well mixed with chillier powder, salt, pepper and sometimes vinegar too. Popular fruits used for achcharu include mangoes, pineapple and a quite sour local fruit called ambarella.

Isso Wade

This wonderful deep-fried snack features a freshly fried prawn on top and is very popular. Another variation of this is a wade with a small crab on top instead. Of course to truly savour seafood you need to head to the south coast where places like Pebbles Beach Villa offer some seafood delights.

Samosas
