Sri Lankan Sugar coated Sweet buns (Kimbula Banis)

I used to buy them from the bread man for my kids to take to school. The taste & the shape makes it evry bodies choice. Where ever you go you can buy these beautiful buns to accompany your cup of tea.
The amount of water depends with the size of the eggs and the flour using. Here I use very strong bread flour. If you are using plain flour use 275ml of water. Add more sugar if you like more sweetness.This recipe makes 16 large buns.

Sri Lankan Fish pasties (Deep fried fish pasties)

Sri Lankan fish pasties are a very popular snack. The pastry gives it a real taste when its deep fried. The taste of the fish and potatoes with added spices gives it a awesome taste. I can remember my mum used to make them for alms givings and for as a snack for special occations.

Its worth making them for snacking or as a finger food. If you dont like to consume a lot of oil in your food add a teaspoon ful baking powder in to the dough and bake them  on 180 about 20 minutes.

You can make several batches at once and freeze them for future use. You can freeze them for 3-4 months with out a problem. If you feeze after frying, just thaw them in the microwave or bake them for several minutes.
