Sri Lanka’s Worst Chef 🇱🇰

  • ■ SRI LANKA, HIKKADUWA: New year's eve for Sri Lankans doesn't fall on December 31st, but April 14th. The occasion is marked by a family feast with some rather unique sweets that are prepared in the days before. Having gotten a thorough insight into what Sri Lankan villagers eat in the last 3 weeks of the year, I was eager to see what they cook up to mark the beginning of a new one.
    More importantly I was eager to see if I could become a Sri Lankan Master chef. Needless to say things didn’t go according to plan....... 😆🤦🏼‍♂️

    I am a German with Tamil Sri Lankan Roots and it sooooo awesome to see the love people spread!! And especially to see the Sinhalese Food and People!!
    I really hope Tamil and Sinhalese will never have these sad times again.
    Thanks for sharing these awesome moments from my beloved little Island ❤️❤️❤️
    Bless you Heraldo Baldieri
    Btw I never heard of Kasippu before 🤣 But maybe its the Sinhalese Word for „Kallu“
    Shoutout to INDRANIs Kitchen 😁👍🏾

    You are lucky to be with this family, Harald. They are lovely and friendly. I missed three consecutive Sinhala New Year festivals as I currently stay overseas. Your video remembers me the good times I stayed with my family back in Sri Lanka. Every food that they made symbolises the prosperity and new hopes as Sinhala Hindu New year festival is dedicated to being grateful to the sun, rain and entire nature which provide oxygen to breathe, soil to cultivate and land to live without any cost. The Sinhalese tradition is mostly based on agriculture; and thus, the new year falls in the harvesting time of the crops, which is April.

    Super cool! Here in Canada, my fathers side of the family had a tradition to make a VERY similar fried batter we call Rosettes. Exact same method of cooking, however they would be sprinkled with granulated sugar straight out of the oil, then allowed to dry.
    Fascinating to see how traditions change through the world, yet how similar they really are.

    That exact first cookie is also made in Scandinavia, Germany, Sweden, etcetera. Referred to as rosettes. We had them dusted in powdered sugar.

      Probably, they say the Dutch brought "Kokis" here in the 1700s and it stuck with the locals.
