A SRILANKAN CULINARY SAFARI AT COURTYARD BY MARRIOTT BENGALURU HEBBAL

Off-late I have been taking a culinary journey to all sorts of exotic places!. Well, not exactly travelling but literally, Bangalore is spoiling me rotten with various food festivals and recently I was at the Courtyard By Marriott Bengaluru Hotel to experience the SriLankan Culinary Safari and they made me get into a food coma with some lip-smacking and aromatic Sri-Lankan delicacies. What I absolutely loved about this festival is, they have brought in Chef Isuru Samarasinghe all the way from SriLanka and he has thoughtfully curated this food fest with all the surprises. 



The SriLankan Culinary Safari started on 17th August and is on till the 1st of September, open for both lunch and dinner at the Hebbal Cafe. 


  
Now let's dive into SriLanka's most magnificent delicacies.

I and my friend reached the place really late and the first thing that got my attention was the Kothu Parotta that was kept in the table prepared for the other friends of ours. My hungry tummy literally made me grab a few spoonfuls of Kothu, and was super surprised with the party of flavours it had in my mouth. 



Meanwhile, the clanking of metal on metal drew my attention and I knew that chef was making a fresh batch for other customers and I ran there with my camera to catch him in action. While I managed to get a few candid clicks of Chef Isuru, I was also eagerly waiting for my plate. The wonderful mix and mash of chicken, egg and kuruma/salna made it deliciously spicy. 








I managed to divert myself to other dishes, and then this vibrant yellow SriLankan Papaya Achar got me right there. 



There was also a range of Sambol like Poi Sambol, a condiment made with coconut, dry red chillies and onion,  Onion Sambol and varieties of pickles too. 



I am a huge fan of SriLankan sambols, you give me a plate of rice/string-hoppers with some of these sambols and I am the happiest gal. 




Then it was time to drench ourselves in the SriLankan curries. There was Crab Curry, Jaffna Chicken Curry, Cashewnut & Green Peas Curry, SriLankan Mutton Curry and the SriLankan Pine-Apple Curry. 



We all went gagagaaaa on this SriLankan Pine-apple curry, I know you are wondering, a curry with pine-apple???? when I can't even have it with my pizza!!. But take my words and I dare you to give it a try, this sweet and spicy hot curry will pamper your delicate taste-buds and give you foodgasms. Just go for it peeps!. 




And how do I forget the delectable Cashewnut & Green Peas Curry? Went amazingly well with the rice and string-hoppers. Would have loved it with Appam too. 



Aren't these making you melt?? Hold on, there are desserts too. 

We ended the SriLankan Culinary Safari on a really happy note with an assortment of exclusive SriLankan desserts. Coconut milk, cinnamon and jaggery being an integral part of the SriLankan cuisine, there was this famous and traditional egg-based dessert called Watalappam which vowed everyone. The Undu was also a good one, but what roared loudly for me was the Milk Burfi, cos for me,  If you talk about SriLankan desserts, this milk toffee comes to my mind first and it was an absolute delight to relish it in the fest. 



If you are soul with sweet-tooth, then am sure you are bound to crave them more!

I hope these pictures make you drool and awaken your taste-buds! It's on till the September 1st guys and is open for both lunch and dinner.  Go for it!.
