Gotu kola from Weligama: Recipes from Sri Lanka (page 146) by Emily Dobbs

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Roast spiced chicken with brown sugar, limes and coconut milk; Manioc mash / Sri Lankan colcannon

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • mjes on April 17, 2018

    I read a review which objected strenuously that this recipe doesn't include gotu kola (Centella asiatica or Asiatic pennywort). I don't mind that this is "not authentic" as the author acknowledges the substitution of parsley and mint for the gotu kola. However, I am puzzled by the indexed accompaniments (Accompaniments: Roast spiced chicken with brown sugar, limes and coconut milk; Manioc mash / Sri Lankan colcannon) which doesn't match the cookbook or the online recipe. The salad itself requires excellent quality parsley and mint - underwatered, hot weather herbs will be noticed. But with good herbs, this is a wonderful salad that shows how herbs can stand independent of the lettuces and greens with which we so often mix them. I used the optional pomegranate seeds which I enjoyed but could easily omit for friends who dislike them. Next time, I will add a bit of a green chile - mild, I think will work best.
