Leeks play an important role in Sri Lankan cooking and are used in a variety of the island's dishes. They are similar in use to ingredients like onions, shallots, garlic, ginger and scallions; the difference being it is sweeter and a little more subtle in flavour.
This Sri Lankan recipe is another one of my mum's signature dishes, which we all love. A delicious vegetarian option, which goes as a wonderful accompaniment to any rice dish and is even delicious with just chapattis or rotis. It's extremely easy to make, requires only a handful of regular ingredients and will definitely add a nice touch of flavour to your regular meals.Find the link to the demo video for this recipe here: @leeksstirfry

Ingredients:
200g leeks, finely sliced
1 small onion, sliced
1 sprig of curry leaves
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp chilli powder
Salt to taste
2 tbsp coconut oil
Method:
Add the leeks into a dry wok on low heat.
Then add all the ingredients other than the oil.
Mix well and cook for a few minutes. Soon you will see the water ooze out of the leaves. This is the reason why we don't add any oil in the beginning!
Once all the water is dried up, put the leaves to aside and add the oil.
Stir while cooking for about 3 minutes.
Enjoy this dish with steamed rice and your favourite curries or even roti.
XOXO, Jovanka
