Vindi Rathnayake was born and raised in Sri Lanka; so when she says street food is Sri Lankan cuisine at its finest, we believe her! In this class Vindi will teach you about balancing spices and traditional cooking techniques as you make some of her favorite food stall classics. On the menu:, appa, also known as hoppers, (crispy, lacy pancakes made from rice flour and coconut milk) and biththara appa (hoppers topped with a fried egg); Sri Lankan chicken red curry; koththu (chopped roti stir-fried with cabbage, leeks, carrots, onions, and chicken); and lunu miris (chili and lime chutney). Since no streetside meal is complete without a sweet treat, you’ll also make bibikkan, a spiced cake made with coconut, dates, and jaggery.
