Achcharu is the ultimate Sri Lankan street food snack. It consists of various raw fruits like mango, pineapple, and wood apple mixed with a fiery paste of chili powder, salt, sugar, and vinegar.

Galle Face Green in Colombo and the areas surrounding major bus stations are guaranteed spots to find multiple carts selling perfectly fresh, mouth watering Achcharu.

It delivers an incredibly intense burst of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors all at once. You will easily find vendors selling small plastic bags of it on busy street corners and near schools everywhere.
