Authentic food at hillcountry tea estate homestays

Question

We are staying at a homestay in the Haputale hills What authentic local food and tea culture experiences should we ask the host for

Nimali D. · Accepted Answer

Homestays in the hills offer incredible food. Ask your host to make fresh Coconut Roti baked over a wood fire, served with Lunu Miris (spicy onion and chili paste). Since you are in the tea country, ask for "Kahata" — plain, strong black tea brewed with fresh local leaves, usually drunk while biting into sweet palm jaggery.

Ask for Kandyan-style jackfruit curry. The slow-cooked flavor is amazing in the cold weather.
