Typical Sri Lankan cuisine consits of a staple of curry and rice. Curries come in various degrees of heat. Kiri is a fairly mild, white curry made with coconut milk. Badun is hotter and considered black because it is made from roasted spices. The hottest variety is the red Rathu, made with tons of red chilli powder.
