Traditional Me

Приєднався 21 жов 2019
I’m Nadee and I live in a village in Sri Lanka far away from the city life. I dedicate a lot of time to my hobby which is making delicious food for my family. I love to cook local Sri Lankan food and the Indian which is from our neighbouring country and also the Arabic and the Malay food because Sri Lanka is a multi cultural country. Also you may see my own innovations as well.
In this modern world, you might wonder why I appear to live like someone lived in the past. I prefer to live my traditional life because I believe by picking new technology over traditional methods of preparation, we lose out the original taste and the “soul” of the food we eat. Therefore I always try to follow traditional methods in cooking.
So, I invite you to take a peek at my simple and traditional life surrounded by the lush greenery and rich culture, doing what I love. To me, the biggest happiness is spending time with my younger Brother also with my Grandmother and I really love that "Traditional Me".

Warm Vegetable soup was the perfect match for the Rainy day in Monsoon! | Traditional Me
We experienced torrential rains during the past month and even though it stopped, we still get intermittent rains. These unexpected sporadic spells of rain disturbs work and daily work routines. It is difficult for us to step outside due to these monsoonal rains. But of course, there is ample time for my home cooking of my favourite dishes to feed my brother and grandmother with love. So, I started to cook slowly that afternoon.
The moment I stepped into the kitchen after cleaning and washing the prawns which I had received in the morning, suddenly my brother said that it was about to rain and that he was too lazy to eat rice for lunch, and he wanted soup. But his weather prediction came after checking the sunny skies without even a distant sign of rain. I smell something cheeky about this guy. Somehow, he had spoken to my grandmother and had convinced her after putting the idea of the soup craving also, thereafter only that he came closer to whisper into my ears about his soup craving. Of course, I obliged his request with love as he is my little brother. After all, where can he enjoy his favourite food except, only from home? I am sure that other elder sisters also go soft in front of their little brothers' requests in life.
I started to wash the vegetables and got ready to make the soup. I cooked the soup with a combination of vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, leeks, beans, cabbage, and tomatoes. Some cut the vegetables into small chunks for this soup. But I cut them into bite-sized chunks since the soup is for lunch. I barbecued the cleaned and seasoned prawns in skewers, with pieces of bell pepper even though my brother asked me to put the prawns into the soup. it was a coincidence indeed as the moment I kept the soup on the stove to be cooked, torrential rain started to fall, confirming my brother's earlier weather prediction. what a telepathic mouth he has.
While I was making the soup, my brother also came with some fried crackers. His Mung crackers which he had fried in oil were very tasty and looked good as well. All of us enjoyed the soup and the crackers amidst the spell of that rain. It was such a pleasant experience as all of us enjoyed the soup for lunch more than our usual rice and curries. Just as my brother predicted, the rich taste of the soup really complimented the cold rainy weather that day.
Love you All!

Переглядів 278 тис.19 годин тому
At the ancestral house garden, the Jamson fruit (Karamba) trees were laden with reddish and white mixed shining fruits and were giving such a beautiful sight. I still recall how both me and my brother used to pluck those jamson fruits from the same tree when we were kids. Since the tree is old now, it has fallen to the ground but still, the tree produces fruits in plenty. Near our kitchen, also...

Though I was planning to make tomato rice since there were plenty of tomatoes at home, I changed that plan as Uncle Siriwardena brought some fresh prawns from the Negombo main fish market (Lellama). Yet I was a bit upset as the tomatoes were fully ripened and I was afraid that they would be spoiled by tomorrow. So I got a super idea to make tomato rice mixed with these prawns. My dear brother l...

The lunch table that day looked very nice with the beetroot leaves stir-fry (Mallum) and the beetroot curry made using coconut milk. The beetroot curry that cooked with big potato pieces, is a prevalent dish in our country and loved by all. When the sweet taste of the beetroot and the red colour get absorbed by the softly boiled potato pieces, it gives a very pleasant taste when biting in them,...

We had continuous rain during the past months but now the hot and dry season has started with cold air in the mornings.

When I am free and unwinding, our brother can't handle it since he always wants me to cook him something special to eat. Until I cook to satisfy his desires, I can never find mental peace.

Since then, he has pursued me and made it difficult for me to be a...
