Sri Lankan Banis !

Sri Lanka is a small island with a very rich and very unique culinary culture. . From its beautiful golden beaches, to its lush vegetation and laid-back people, I was fortunate to have spent some of my formative years growing up in Sri Lanka surrounded by a rich heritage and an amazing diversity of food. As a one-time British colony, the recent history of Sri Lanka has been shaped by British influences and one of the greatest consequences of that is that the island is now home to arguably the best tea in the world! And there is one type of bread that goes better with a warm cup of Sri Lankan tea than anything else in the world. And that is the traditional Sri Lankan tea banis (pronounced [bah-nis]) – a melt-in-your-mouth soft and deceptively delicious bread roll. Sri Lankans living overseas don’t often get a chance to eat the food they grew up with unless they make it themselves.
