Last weekend it was my Dad's birthday party, which meant a Srilankan shorteats feast for ur guests :)
However no other savoury shorteat matches the taste & flavour entailed in a roll. Rolls are the most popular party entree in both sinhalese & tamil families.
Although many are fooled by this dishs ordinary name, it is by far the most authentic & tasteful Srilankan shorteat.
Many different flavoured rolls can be made with different fillings including chicken or fish, with the most popular being lamb.
A roll is simply what its name states, it is a dry meat curry combined with potatoes & various Srilankan herbs & Spices, rolle din fillo pastry sheets then covered in breadcrumbs & fried.
The rolls crunchy exterior & soft filling of spicy lamb & potatoes draws almost everyone at a party, & definitely at my Dad's party. The clash of textures will excite your tastebuds, making you go back for more !
So at your next party, be sure to not miss lamb rolls in your shorteats menu :)
