Rice and curry dinner comprises the following:
- A large bowl of rice, can be boiled or fried. Sometimes kiribath, rice cooked in coconut milk, is served.
- A vegetable curry, perhaps of green beans, jackfruit or leeks.
- A curry of meat, most often chicken or fish but occasionally goat or lamb
- Dhal, a dish of spiced lentils.
- Papadums, a thin crisp wafer made from legume or rice flour and served as a side dish.
- Sambals, which are fresh chutney side dishes; they may include red onion, chili, grated coconut and lime juice, and are often the hottest part of the meal.
Each bowl contains small portions, but as is traditional in most countries in tropical Asia, if a bowl is emptied, it is immediately refilled.
