Your night off is going to Sri Lanka.

We’ve handed this week’s Dabba over to the brilliant team at Kolamba, one of London’s most loved modern Sri Lankan restaurants.

Sri Lankan rice and curry isn’t one curry. It’s a whole table of dishes built to eat together. Something rich, something fiery, something coconutty, something sharp. So that’s exactly what we’ve made.

Four dishes. One seriously good dinner. All you need to do is heat it up.

Ala Thel Dala

Fried new potatoes with caramelised onion

Golden potatoes tossed with sweet caramelised onions, curry leaves, mustard seeds, cardamom and green chilli. Smoky, savoury, spicy and extremely difficult to stop eating.

Jackfruit Curry

Young green jackfruit cooked slowly in coconut milk with curry leaves, cinnamon, mustard seeds and lime, then finished with crispy onions. Rich and coconutty, with just enough sharpness to keep you going back for another spoonful.

Parippu

Tempered red lentil dal

Creamy red lentils simmered with coconut milk, garlic and turmeric, then finished with a hot temper of golden onions and whole chillies. Deep, silky and made for spooning over rice.

Cardamom Rice

Fluffy steamed rice scented with whole cardamom pods. Fragrant, simple and ready to soak up every last bit of curry.

ADD THE TOASTED POL SAMBOL

This week, Kolamba’s Toasted Pol Sambol takes the place of our usual Ginger Jam.

Dark toasted coconut with mustard seed, curry leaf, lime and black pepper. Nutty, smoky, sharp and packed with flavour.

Add it to your order. You’ll want it with everything.

We love a collaboration that gives you something you wouldn’t normally get on a weeknight.

Kolamba’s food is full of the things we love about Sri Lankan cooking. Coconut, curry leaves, chilli, lime, deep spice and dishes designed to be piled onto one plate and eaten together.

Proper cooking. A brilliant Sri Lankan feast. Your night off, sorted.
