THE FLAVOURS OF CEYLON

The temperature is surely going down by the day, while Instagram seems to be flooded with pictures of winter foods from across communities - saag and makki ki roti, bajre ki raab, gajar ka halwa, matar ka nimona and more such warming comfort foods.

I escaped the wrath of Delhi's pollution-ridden air and spent the whole of last week down south in Sri Lanka. What struck me the most on landing in our neighboring country was how clean it was - the air and the vicinity. The sky was a cerulean blue that my eyes had not witnessed in a while and the pristine blue Indian ocean ran along the length of the road as we traveled - fifty shades of blue as far as the eyes could see.

Post the Covid-19 pandemic, Sri Lanka has seen an uptick in its tourism industry with many tourists from across the globe flocking to the tropical island. The one thing that I absolutely took to instantly was the Sri Lankan cuisine.
