Continuing my series on What is your favourite street food?
There are a number of popular street food items that are popular among locals and tourists.
Made with channa dhal oil cakes and shrimp.
Serve this with a dab of lime juice or chopped onions.
Made with Godambha roti (a type of flatbread/roti made with flour, oil, water & egg). Shredded roti is combined with vegetables, egg, meat, spices and gravy.
Mostly made with fruits such asmango, olives, ambarella, pineapple, and guava.
This is a pickled snack that contains chillies, vinegar, and salt.
This coined word is referred to as snacks in Sri Lanka. Mostly crumbled and deep-fried items as shown in the photos.
The fillings usually consist of canned tuna/mackerel, egg, meat/chicken combined with tempered potato, onions and chillies.
The names of the short eats:cutlets(round-shaped ones), patties (half-moon shaped ones), rolls (cylinder-shaped ones), and samosa –originated from India (triangular-shaped ones)
This is a very crispy bowl-shaped thin pancake made with a fermented rice flour batter. In Sri Lanka, this is served mostly as a savoury dish and consumed mainly for breakfast and dinner.
It’s common to add an egg and consume it as an egg hopper with condiments such as “lunu miris” – chillies and onion paste or with a hot curry.
Recently the big hotels and restaurants have taken these hoppers to the next level by adding various ingredients such as cheese, chopped onions, and bell pepper to the batter and serving with tempered prawns etc.
Even though hoppers are common in all parts of Sri Lanka, variations of hoppers are found in India, mainly in Kerala and also in some parts of Malaysia.
So, what is your favourite Sri Lankan #streetfood?
Tapioca/Beijú
You can fill it with whatever you want, there are many possibilities. Sweet or salty. Made with wheat flour.
Coxinha
It can be filled with chicken or meat, cheddar or catupiry. It can be big or small. I’m pretty sure a big one won’t make you feel hungry for at least 5 hours. The small ones are very common at birthday parties for kids.
Churros
It’s not 100% Brazilian, but the Brazilian version includes a filling which makes it even more delicious. It is easily found atfeirinhas.
Pastel
Anotherfeirinhastypical food can be fried or roasted. A lot of possibilities, but only salted. Some basic flavours are meat, chicken and pizza (!).
Dogão/cachorro quente/prensadão
An adaptation from the famous hot dog, it may include things you don’t expect on a hot dog such aspurê (mashed potatoes).
Churrasco/espetinho
When I was a kid, I used to eat a lot of these during soccer games. And the reason for that is the smell.

In Mexico, most people may be familiar with street “tacos”. However, there are many other kinds of delicious street foods that I would love for the world to get to know. Therefore, I present to you the “Cemita” from the state of Puebla (located a little bit to the east of the centre of the country). This is a type of sandwich made out of crispy wheat buns covered with sesame seeds. The buns can be stuffed with any kind of meat or even just string cheese. It is typically made with fried steak plus ham, freshly made string cheese, avocado, and jalapeno peppers.
