🇱🇰 Sri Lanka recipe
Kiri Hodi
Kiri hodi, literally 'milk gravy,' is a simple, mild coconut milk curry that is one of the most fundamental sauces in Sri Lankan cooking. It is the traditional accompaniment to hoppers, string hoppers, and kiribath. Despite its simplicity, a well-made kiri hodi has a gentle complexity from pandan leaves, fenugreek, and curry leaves, with a subtle background heat from green chilies. It is comfort food in its purest form.
