Jaffna Odiyal Kool
JAFFNA ODIYAL KOOL
==================
Beautiful ”Kool”
Call it Jaffna Soup, broth or stew.
Signature dish of Jaffna district,
Relished by every one in the peninsula.
Tamarind based Kool,
With seafood items,
Fish, shrimp, squid and crab,
Add taste beyond words.
Incorporates various spices,
With long bean, jack fruit seeds, manioca
O what a taste it gives,
When odiyal flour thickens it.
Mouth waters at the sight of
The fantastic odiyal kool,
Tastes better when you drink,
From a folded jack leaf.
Kool is an enjoyment at family gatherings,
In most of the Jaffna homes.
Without the traditional kool party,
Family gatherings seldom disperse.
