Jaffna treats at EAT, OZO Colombo
View(s):
OZO Colombo recently launched a mouth-watering selection of Jaffna cuisine with the introduction of the theme night, ‘Yaal Meets West’, at its EAT Restaurant. ‘Yaal Meets West’ will come alive on every Sunday evening from 19:00hrs onwards. The diners will be treated to an explosion of taste infused with traditional Jaffna and West Sri Lankan flavours, creating the perfect balance of taste and textures.
This is apparent in the buffet selection available at EAT, OZO Colombo. The distinct spice combinations from Northern Sri Lanka have been infused together to bring specialities, such as the signature soup, known as Odiyal Kool, of the north. Odiyal Kool is a seafood broth that encapsulates the flavours of the Indian Ocean from crabs to fish, cuttlefish, prawns and crayfish with hints of tamarind. The dish is thickened using Palmyra root flour, which is authentic to Jaffna cuisine. Other starters include the Yaal vegetable platter.
Chef Amila Shirantha and his team at OZO Colombo use vegetables and coconuts to create a range of sambols to tickle your taste buds.
