As a reflection of the vegetarian preferences of quite a few people of this region, there could be starters of vadais, fried lentil dumplings prepared with gram dhal, onions and spices and avial, a creamy vegetable stew. But those who prefer meat will rejoice in dishes such as malu miris, capsicum stuffed with a savoury fish and potato filling or the devilled lamb chops, meat stir fried with onions, peppers, tomatoes and strong spices. The Sri Lankan influence is particularly evident in specialities such as string hoppers which are rice flour based steamed noodles.
