做法
- 把绿叶彻底洗净。叶片紧紧卷起来切成极细的丝——丝宽约 2 毫米。切丝的细致程度,正是判断厨子用心与否的标准。
- 把切丝的绿叶与椰丝放入大碗,轻轻翻拌,让椰丝裹住每一根叶丝。
- 加紫洋葱、青辣椒、马尔代夫鱼干粉、盐、辣椒粉和青柠汁。最好用手抓拌——手温能释出椰油,把所有材料融合得更紧密。
- 想做温热版:平底锅中火热 1 小勺油。把拌好的 mallum 倒入翻拌只 60 秒——叶丝略蔫但仍鲜亮。多数斯里兰卡家庭做生版,只让热锅或盐与青柠的酸度让叶子稍微塌一下。
- 尝味调整——应有青柠的尖锐酸味、马尔代夫鱼干的咸鲜,以及椰丝把辣椒兜回来的甜润。常温作米饭咖喱餐盘的一员上桌。
- Mallum 要当天吃完——青柠汁会让叶丝在 24 小时内变蔫发暗。

文化背景
Mallum 是斯里兰卡米饭咖喱餐盘里的蔬菜配菜——几乎任何绿色叶菜都能做成 mallum(积雪草、羽衣甘蓝、菠菜、kohila、辣木叶、香蕉花)。技法是统一的:细切叶丝、椰丝、青柠、辣椒、马尔代夫鱼干、盐。每家有自己最爱的绿叶;积雪草(gotu kola)因略带苦味与草本气息被视为最珍贵。Mallum 在咖喱餐盘里担任口感对位——清新、生或微煮的它,与厚重咖喱形成对比。
