ABOUT Kiri Hodi - Sri Lankan Coconut Milk Curry RECIPE

Kiri Hodi or the coconut milk curry of Sri Lanka is a dish we fell in love with during our recent travel through this simple, charming and beautiful country .Kiri means milk and Hodi means curry. This simple yet versatile curry is served as an accompaniment to Kottu Roti, steamed rice, hoppers, string hoppers and much more. Make any quantities, the key is to balance the sourness to the sweetness of coconut milk. A one pan cook it requires no oil or tempering. I have found having Kiri Hodi during the hot and humid days very refreshing and soothing. A good break from our dal and kadhi!!
