One of the beautiful memories of our childhood was the arrival of the “Bombai Muttai” seller down the lane,:This is a type of Sri Lankan homemade candy floss. Though it resembles traditional candy floss in terms of colour, the texture is more thready rather than like cotton. It’s a sweet, melt-in-the-mouth candy which can only be bought from the ‘bombai muttai man’, who wonders the streets carrying a metal box full of this floss and ringing a bell. Bombai muttai is usually served either in a paper cone or on a type of cracker. Photo credit to the owners.
