our story
the little sri lankan
My name is Malanie Tillekeratne, I am little, and I am of Sri Lankan origin. That is why we are called the Little Sri Lankan.
I was born in Colombo, Sri Lanka and moved to Britain when I was four years old. I grew up helping my parents cook Sri Lankan dishes for parties and celebrations.
authentic family recipes
The recipes have been passed down through the family and taught to us, mainly by my Ammie (mother), just like she was taught by her aunts, cousins, parents and grandparents, each adding their own little twist.
These recipes were taught, not with exact measurements, but by teaching us what each type of dish should look, smell and taste like.
share food, spread love
The Little Sri Lankan came to fruition because Michael and I wanted to share my family dishes and Sri Lankan cuisine with people, and to spread our love of the cuisine to everyone we meet. We can’t wait to cook for you.
