The Secret to Perfect Risotto Using Sri Lankan Produce

by Kavisha Yapa

There’s something timeless about a well-made risotto, creamy, rich, and satisfying. While it may seem like the kind of dish that takes hours of careful stirring, Luxe Colombo makes it wonderfully simple. With gourmet ready-to-cook options from Casa Rinaldi and Knorr, you can enjoy authentic Italian risotto at home in just minutes.

The best part? You can give it a local twist with fresh Sri Lankan ingredients, the perfect fusion of comfort and culture.

Italian Classics Made Easy

At Luxe, we’ve brought together some of the finest risottos directly from Italy:

  • Milanese Risotto from Casa Rinaldi – a golden, saffron-infused classic full of northern Italian charm

  • Risotto Formaggio with Cheese from Casa Rinaldi – rich, creamy, and a cheese lover’s dream

  • Asparagus Risotto from both Knorr and Casa Rinaldi – fresh and vibrant, perfect for a light meal

  • Porcini Mushroom Risotto from Knorr – deep, earthy flavors for true mushroom fans

  • Risotto alla Carbonara – a hearty, Roman-inspired take with creamy, savory notes

These  are ideal for a quick gourmet dinner or to impress guests without the stress.

Bring In a Taste of Sri Lanka

Why not add your own signature twist using fresh, local ingredients? Here are a few delicious fusion ideas:

  • Top the Risotto with crispy fried onions for a sweet and spicy edge

  • Stir some fresh greens into the Risotto for a subtle herbal lift

  • Toss in grilled prawns or crab with the Risotto for a coastal seafood version

  • Pair Risotto with sautéed Sri Lankan mushrooms or a splash of coconut cream for a creamy depth.
