This lunch plate of rice and curry I cooked today contains about 4-5 green bird's-eye chilies, 2 deepfried curd chilies, a habanero, at least 1 broken-up dried red chili, and probably around 2 tbsp of chili flakes/ground chili.
It is, according to me, the best cuisine in the world, both regarding spice level, and balance. Have you tried it?

Looks delicious!
Never had it. Do you have a recipe?
Never had Sri Lankan food but this look so good! Definitely need to try.
Also the salad on the side reminds me of middle eastern Tabouleh, what is it called?
String hoppers are the absolute best, although not typically spicy.
Never tried it but now I really want to
I’ve never had a spicy (as in hot) Sri Lankan dish. It has never been an option at my local restaurant so I just thought that was normal
Hell yeah. Proper street made kottu roti is my all time fav food ever. Took me years to master the recipe at home to make it resemble the real thing haha.
This looks like a rather ambitious plate for r/spicy where 90% of posts are of spicy instant ramen and hot sauce, with which r/spicy users proudly eat our high end cold pizza or hotwings with and pat ourselves on the back
It looks like you prepared like 6 meals i can see ans there is probably something under that egg
Edit: rice, i read your description in the comments. Yeah, sounds/looks amazing, sri lankan food has a good spokesperson. It is entirely unrepresented in my city, ive never come across it or thought of it but i will see if i can find some, i bet theres a sri lankan restaurant in the sf bay area. Im also surprised its so spicy – or is that just a you thing?
Looks effing delicious!
Love for all the food itw
Never had any, but that looks incredibly delicious
Absolutely, am so im love with it, theres on in LA that blew my mind. Like a fresher Indian if that makes sense.
if anyone is ever in NYC, I’d recommend Sigiri in the East Village for great Sri Lankan food! BYOB as well. my family has been going there for almost 15 years now, as Malayalees we don’t get a ton of food that’s close to our home cuisine and Sri Lankan usually scratches that itch
I have never tried it but this looks delicious.
