Is finding strictly vegan food in Sri Lanka difficult.
3 Answers
Finding strictly vegan food in Sri Lanka is actually incredibly easy and delightful. The standard local meal of rice and curry consists of multiple small side dishes, heavily featuring naturally vegan options like dhal, pumpkin, and green beans cooked in fresh coconut milk.
However, you must be slightly vigilant. Local cooks frequently use Maldive fish flakes dried, cured tuna as a hidden flavor enhancer in vegetable curries and sambols. You must explicitly tell the server no Maldive fish and no ghee when ordering.
In tourist areas like Ella, Hiriketiya, and Galle, it is even easier. The cafes there cater heavily to digital nomads and offer extensive, dedicated plant based menus featuring vegan smoothie bowls, burgers, and dairy free coffees.
