    This is our last video from our Sri Lankan food series! In this video, we are showing you some unique village food in Sri Lanka.
    First, we meet some local women in the village of Wellawaya. At the time of filming, the Sri Lankan New Year celebrations just happened and we had the opportunity to watch these ladies prepare Sri Lankan New Year specialties from scratch. The ladies prepared Imbul Kiribath (traditional milk rice stuffed with coconut), Welithalapa (rice flour, coconut milk and treacle), Kokis (deep fried cookies made from rice flour and coconut milk), and Kavum (a pastry made from rice flour and treacle that’s deep fried and shaped like a woman’s bun). We were served these Sri Lankan treats with tea and it was all very unique and delicious!!!
    Next, we visited a sustainable rice paddy field where farmers harvest a unique and traditional rice grain which has been around for thousands of years and is much more nutritious than normal rice found around the world. We met up with a few of these rice farmers and shared a lotus leaf meal with the Sri Lankan rice. This meal was also cooked by the village ladies and it was absolutely amazing!!
    We would like to thank the rice farmers and the village women for their hard work, and also Jetwing Kaduruketha (www.jetwinghotels.com/jetwing...) for arranging this Agricultural and Sustainable culinary experience!

    I agree with ”how much work goes into each grain of rice... so you should eat all of your rice” When I was a child I was taught this sort of things by parents and teachers. But as I grow up, I (or perhaps many Japanese adult people ) almost forgot or left those old memories somewhere... What Sabrina said reminded me of the education I received.

I did my education along with them all primery secondery and tertiary .. That is the nature of life. especially traditional. So i know how difficult to get it done every seed.

    Hey Luke there‘s an interesting fact about Kavum. It‘s told that in the ancient times in Sri Lanka Sri Lankan soldiers carried two bags of Kavum. One with freshly fried ones( these are really high in protein and with 3-4 a day you could fulfill the protein requirement) and the other ones which are fried and kept for 2-3 months to become old. When a soldier gets injured in a battle they tie a Kavum to the wound. It’s said that old Kavum naturally grows penicillin bacteria and the wound won‘t get infected due to that.

      Penicillin is an anti-bacterial so no bacteria can grow/multiply when penicillin is around. what penicillin does is, it will prevent the openings a bacteria makes during its multiplication and letting exterior water to seep into the bacteria cell (osmosis) and finally bursting the bacteria cell.

And also i should say that, your attitude is so admirable .. u explained the procedure breifly and the thing that i must highlight is you said how the farmers work actually dedicate for rice farming, so we should not dump away atleast one seed of rice.. that saying is super valuable , ... so hats off to both of you...... you may able to do more and more and more videos like this about srilankan food..
