Sri Lanka's cuisine mainly consists of boiled or steamed rice served with curry. Another well-knownrice dish is Kiribath, meaning "milk rice." Curries in Sri Lanka are not just limited to meat - or fish - based dishes, there are also vegetable and even fruitcurries. A typical Sri Lankan mealconsists of a "main curry" (fish, chicken, beef, porkor mutton), as well as several other curries made with vegetable and lentils. Side - dishes include pickles, chutneys and "sambols" which can sometimes be fiery hot. The most famous of these is the coconut sambol, made of ground coconut mixed withchillies, dried Maldive fish and lime juice. This is ground to a paste and eaten with rice, as it gives zest to the meal and is believed to increase appetite.

Cloves are the rich, brown, dried, unopened flower buds of Syzygium Aromaticum, an evergreen tree in the myrtle family. The name comes from the French "clou" meaning nail. Cloves have a strong, pungent aroma and tastes rather sweet. Traditionally, cloves have been used in spice cookies and cakes.
