A Srilankan Food Fest was held for 3 days at Karur KRV Meridian hotel. Costing 499 INR per head, the Srilankan food fest was a spread of many food items from the Srilankan menu…
Though few food items were not Srilankan, Justice was done to much Srilankan food that had its original flavours….
The welcome drink was a tender coconut and a kamban kool ( Pearl millet gruel)
Though the kamban kool is not a part of the Srilankan food it tasted good.
The buffet started off with a herbal soup which was a simple soup with lots of coriander, mint and curry leaves… it tasted ok
Then to start there were sambol scotched boiled eggs, fish patties, squid fry and banana flower fry. The fish patties and the squid fry tasted excellent. The banana flower fry tasted like a normal pakkoda.

Then there was puttu which was ragi puttu.. the ragi puttu is usually not seen in Srilankan.. people there prefer puttu made of maida or red rice. This puttu with a channa curry is more of a Kerala dish.
Then there was brown rice which is also not a Srilankan menu.., people consume red rice in Srilanka.. there is a variety of rice called the red naadu which is mostly used along with samba variety and keeri samba variety. They also had this yellow flavoured rice which tasted good...
There were a few vegetable gravy dishes like drumstick gravy, mixed vegetables gravy, and mango curry.
The coconut stew chicken curry and lamb curry were very excellent .. the chicken meat was so tender and tasted awesome.
The prawn curry was also good.
They had coin parotta which you don’t see in Srilanka.., They could have kept the Srilankan coconut roti which is the most consumed dish in Srilanka…
At the live counter, they had appam with coconut sambol, seeni sambol, nethili sambol.. the appam was more of Indian style, because the Srilankan appam is crisper .. the seeni sambol was exactly like the Srilankan seeni sambol…they also had kothu parotta in the live counter and it also tasted good.
For dessert, there was wattalappam and pancake. The wattalappam was extremely good and had the original Srilankan flavours. The pancake was stuffed with coconut and jaggery stuffing and topped with honey which was also superb…
