Osu Kutiya: Fresh, Healthy and Compassionate Cuisine

A lavish spread of healthy and nutritious food prepared within minutes

Healthy local food is the theme of the third season of Osu Kutiya. Presented by Otara Gunewardene and Chef Publis Silva of Mount Lavinia Hotel, the culinary programme promotes cruelty-free Sri Lankan cuisine with dishes prepared to appeal to all five senses. 

Words Keshini De Silva

The tropical landscape of the island blossoms with a bountiful collection of vegetables and fruits filled with flavour and nourishment. While preserving centuries of Sri Lankan culinary knowledge, Osu Kutiya promotes a healthy, cruelty-free and compassionate lifestyle. In this series, a delicious dish is prepared with Thibbatu (Turkey Berry/Wild Eggplant), a fibrous vegetable that especially aides the prevention of diabetes. In Sri Lanka, 90 per cent of the banana plant is used for cuisine, and a favourite island delicacy is the preparation of Kehel Muwa (Banana Blossom). Chef Publis shows how to use Kehel Muwa as an alternative to dried sprats/fish and prepare a vegan meal that will have anyone, asking for more. As the food steaming with mouthwatering aromas are served into dishes, Osu Kutiya provides simple and encouraging tips for enhancing taste and nutrition by placing a strong emphasis on  purchasing and preparing food: “Buy fresh vegetables and fruits from the Pola”, and “Make food with pleasant and  kind thoughts.”
