SAWAN - Chicken Biryani Sawan With A Full Fried Chicken On Top - Chicken...

#sawan #chickenbiryani #iTASTE
SAWAN - Chicken Biryani Sawan With A Full Fried Chicken On Top - Chicken Biryani For Six People
Sawan is a large plate of biryani or yellow coloured rice with Fried chicken on top. The biryani can be either chicken, mutton, beef, or vegetarian. The rice too can be basmati or seeraga samba or just normal rice.
But the idea of a sawan is 4 to 8 people eating out on the same plate.
The origin of the tradition of the Sawan is unknown..

Chicken biryani and mutton biryani sawans are the most popular though there's also beef and now vegetarian. The rice is often served with a side of sweet tomato or mango pickle, gravy, Maldive fish sambol, cutlets and for desserts Watalappam or gulab jamun.
The Sawan is supposed to foster community spirit, in Srilanka, a Sawan is made by the Muslim community during the Ramadan time. Their favorite food during this celebration is Sawan. They not only make Sawan for themself but they also gift Sawan to other people. This tradition is like the Hindus exchanging sweets during the Deepavali festival.
Sawans are also served at wedding or festival celebrations. Although Hindus and Muslims are best known for using the sawan, it's now become a general Asian thing shared by different communities.

There are a lot of hotels now offering Sawan. We can choose the type of rice which should be used and if its biryani we can choose what biryani we want. Also, the fried chicken can be either full or half. The price ranges from 2500 for a chicken biryani Sawan to 4500 for mutton biryani Sawan.
There are people who also prepare this Sawan privately on pre-order.
This video was shot at my cousin's place. We got a Sawan as a gift from beruwala (western province of Srilanka, an excellent tourist destination). The Sawan tasted delicious. The basmati was perfect and did not stick to each other. The masala was perfect with lovely flavors. Lovely chicken biryani with perfect side dishes. We also had wattalappam for desserts.
It was fun shooting the video, so watch till the end !!

Eating Durian Fruit - Durian Fruit Tasting - SriLankan Durian

Eating Durian Fruit - Durian Fruit Tasting - SriLankan Durian
The durian fruit is a native of Thailand, Malaysian, Vietnam region. The fruit is covered in hard thorns. Imagine a jackfruit but the skin thorn is bigger and harder. It is said when the durian fruit has riped in a tree, even the elephants won't come near because the fruit might fall anytime.

The durian fruit has a different smell, and people eating it for the first time might find it strange because of the smell
I personally am not very fond of the smell though. But people who like the fruit won't miss it because the fruit is so much healthy.
The taste of the fruit is like sweet butter, with a mix of milk. Even the texture of the fruit is like butter. Good sweet fruit is yellow in colour. The yellow coloured durian is firm and sweet.
In some durian the fruit might be in white colour and may not be firm, those fruits lack the taste and

should be avoided.

The durian fruit should not be overeaten because of the heat it produces in the body. It is said, a glass of milk should be drunk in the evening if we ate durian fruit in the day time.
In Srilanka, this fruit is seasonal and we get the durian fruit durian May to august month.
The fruit is tastier in Srilanka than that found in Thailand.

Rathnapura is a town in Sri Lanka famous for its Gemstones. Gemstones like the sapphires are mined in and around Ratnapura.

In the 70s, 80s, and 90s, Gem traders from Thailand would come here to buy gemstones. These buyers would stay for 3 to 4 months looking for Gemstones. Since their stay is long they would bring their cooks from Thailand to cook Thai food for them.
These cooked would have local people as their assistant, who at a later point learned the techniques of the Thai style cooking.
They opened their own place serving Thai food..

There are few places in Ratnapura, small outlets that are specifically for thai food.
I went with my cousin, to have lunch here. we ordered for stem rice, chicken pak Kao Pao, fried fish in thai red sauce, Kang Kung.

The dishes were great. there was the usage of sauce in every dish. there was a different taste to the dishes they served.
I also tried with the lumpia sauce that they had. which was tangy and spicy.
The food was great, and I loved the flavors.
We also took a takeaway of the garoupa fish in red Thai sauce. An amazing taste. It's a deep-fried fish with sauce. The sauce gives this fish a unique flavor. Dipping the fish in lumpia sauce was also excellent...

The golden hill tea centre is situated on the Colombo to Badulla highway, just before the haputale town. This happens to be an excellent hotel or restaurant near haputale town.

This place is famous for its Tea. so if you're traveling this way and it's not your breakfast, lunch, or dinner timing then you can try their Tea at least.
Since this place was opened after the lockdown, the menu options were very limited. But luckily they had Nasi Goreng, which I had a chance to try.
The ambiance is something that I should mention. It was very pleasing with many plants and trees. The tables n chairs were wooden and looked great. It was a great place to have your meal with peace of mind.

The dish arrived soon after I ordered it. It was hot. Nasi Goreng is Indonesian fried rice. This Nasi Goreng had chicken pieces, sausages with vegetables like the carrot leeks and sauce topped with a fried egg.
The chili paste that they give with the fried rice is also an excellent combo.
The taste was amazing. Although I haven't tried the real Nasi Goreng in an Indonesian restaurant, this SriLankan version of Nasi Goreng was perfect.
So if you happen to be traveling this way don't hesitate to make a pit stop at this place and try their food !!
