Jaffna cuisine is distinct for its use of palmyra and unique spice blends. You must try the Jaffna Crab Curry which is famous for its fiery black pepper and drumstick leaf base. Odiyal Kool is a traditional seafood soup thickened with palmyra root flour that is incredibly nutritious. For dessert, look for Rio Ice Cream which is a local institution, and try the sweet jaggery cakes made from palmyra sap.
