"Kiri Ala," also known as "කිරි අල" in Sinhala, refers to the edible tuber of the taro plant, commonly known as taro root. It is a staple in Sri Lankan cuisine, prized for its creamy texture and mild, nutty flavor. Kiri Ala is versatile and used in a variety of dishes such as curries, stews, and even snacks. It can be boiled, steamed, fried, or mashed depending on the dish. Nutritionally, taro root is rich in carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins (especially vitamin A and C), and minerals like potassium and magnesium. Its hearty nature and nutritional benefits make Kiri Ala a beloved ingredient in Sri Lankan cooking.
