Yarl Restaurant

Pittu is a traditional breakfast item of steamed rice flour mixed with scraped coconut and salt. Pittu is cooked in a pittu bambuwa, a cylindrical vessel which is made from bamboo and wounded with coir. The pittu mixture of rice flour and coconut is thus placed inside this bamboo structure and steamed over a vessel filled with water. If you are a seafood lover and love eating spicy dishes, then you should definitely try Sri Lankan Crab Curry. This Asian recipe is prepared using crab meat, shallots and milk, and goes well with steamed rice/pulao traditionally. However, you can also enjoy this curry recipe with Pittu . Kottu Roti and Pittu are served at the same location. At each restaurant, we allocate 20 minutes for dining to ensure a smooth and timely experience.
