Malden Reads Community Dinner: Sri Lankan & Indian Food at Biryani Park

Indian and Sri Lankan Food Rounds out Malden Reads Community Dinner Series

The final stop on our culinary tour of Malden, and the world, stops at Biryani Park.  The restaurant, at the SNS market, 105 Broadway (Rt 99) features the dynamic cuisines of Sri Lanka, and Southern India.  This last community dinner will take place Tuesday, April 24th at 7:00 and will cost $15, not including tax, gratuity, and drinks.

Biryani Park prides itself on cooking healthy, authentic cuisine prepared with the freshest, top quality, organic ingredients.  Pramilla Mathews describes the preparations as “healthy and straight from the heart”.  A Sri Lankan native, Mathews and her chef, South Indian Veeramuchu Managati clearly love talking about their refined, carefully prepared food.  The cuisines of Sri Lanka and Southern India tend to offer food that is gently steamed, rather than cooked in Ghee (clarified butter) found in much of Northern Indian cooking, It is redolent with savory, aromatic spice blends, coconut milk, and often features fresh seafood.  These cuisines are also renowned for their treatment of vegetables; it is a healthful and balanced cuisine.
