Description
Clean, hulled pumpkin seeds (wattakka ata) with a mild, nutty taste and a satisfying crunch. Roast them with a little salt for a snack, scatter them over rice and salads, or bake them into breads and granola.
In Sri Lankan home kitchens nothing edible goes to waste, and the seeds scooped from a wattakka (pumpkin) are dried, roasted and eaten as a simple, nourishing snack.
We clean and hull the seeds so they are ready to use, whether you toast them in a dry pan with a pinch of salt or sprinkle them straight over a rice and curry plate for crunch.
They are an easy way to add a little goodness to everyday meals, the kind of quiet pantry staple that earns its place on the shelf.
How to Use
- Dry-roast with salt for a snack
