What is the absolute best traditional food to try in Sri Lanka.

A highly authentic traditional staple is simple Rice and Curry. It usually features a massive mountain of white rice surrounded by six or seven tiny incredibly flavorful vegetable curries including creamy dhal and spicy coconut sambol.

For breakfast order Egg Hoppers. They are incredibly thin bowl shaped pancakes with crispy edges and a soft steamed egg cooked perfectly in the middle. They are entirely unique to Sri Lanka.
