Wattalappam

When Srilankan dessert is mentioned, no other sweet delicacy comes to mind but Wattalappam!

Wattalappam is indeed the most authentic & popular dessert of Srilanka in both Tamil & Sinhalese families.


Wattalappam is made with coconut milk, eggs & jaggery. This dessert can be made with ease by anyone & no unique or unfamiliar cooking utensils are required.






Wattalappam is a pudding like dish with a soft jelly-like texture, it is often chocolate brown in colour with various nuts folded through it at random.
The Nuts & Pudding evoke a wondrous contrasting texture, allowing for both smooth & crunchy feel to your tastebuds :)

Wow all this talk about wattalappam has certainly got me craving, & im sure its making your mouthwater too! So hurry, go out & try some ! :)

Falooda

Falooda is a cold drink which is usually made with milk and rose syrup/ Rooh Afza. There are many things that can be be mixed in to add more flavor and texture to the drink. Vermicelli, psyllium or basil seeds give it the distinctive look and taste of falooda. Other variations include ice cream, pineapple and little jelly pieces. The characteristic pink colour with the contrast of the black seeds are what make falooda so recognisable.

If falooda was a girl she would be really sweet and cool. She'll dress like a girly girl but she can just as easily hang out with the guys. She's the kind of girl that you feel like you're having a bit of cheeky fun with but at the same time you can take her home to meet your parents. A girl with real depth.

All weird analogies aside I would definitely recommend falooda to anyone who hasn't tried it, 8/10 would drink/marry.
