“Rice and curry” is the foundation of Sri Lankan home cooking: a mound of rice served with multiple small curries and sides—vegetable, lentil, and often a meat or fish curry—plus crunchy or tangy add-ons. It’s less a single dish than a format that lets families balance heat, sourness, coconut richness, and texture in one meal.

The everyday Sri Lankan plate, endlessly customizable
