What are Sri Lankan short eats?

Small eats usually comprise one of a popular category of items termed snack that is often available in bakeries, stalls, or sidewalk cafes all over the country. They often taste good as they generally have something like fish buns to vegetable-filled rolls to samosa and cutlets. Roti is also commonly a part of short eats. They can often be quick food or just light eating, and you often pair the snack with your cup of tea. True to their character, small eats are rich with each dish usually governed by indigenous spices and cooking methods. These are an inalienable segment of Sri Lankan food culture, as well as highlighting the unique tastes and flavors of the country.
