On this episode of Power Hour, our Editor-in-Chief Kamiya Jani dived into a power-packed day of wellness, fitness and fun with none other than actress Jacqueline Fernandes. Over Om chants, Surya Namaskars (with and without weights), the duo spoke about all things health, skin care and even great food. Jacqueline Fernandes even revealed a must-try street food in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Jacqueline Fernandes Loves Kottu Roti In Colombo, Sri Lanka
During this episode of Power Hour with Jacqueline Fernandes, Kamiya Jani asked the actress to choose between street food in Colomba and that in Mumbai. “Uh Oh! Pani Puri!” said Jacqueline, in a tricky position on having to choose between the two cities. “You can’t take pani puri away from me! I really like pani puri,” she says with a big smile, almost salivating while thinking about it.
That’s when Kamiya had to ask how many pani puris can she really eat in one go. “I only stop because I feel people are looking at me. Every single time I eat pani puri, I feel I can do more than that place of six. I would say 12.” After hearing about the Kick actress raving about pani puri, Kamiya asked her about her home city, Colombo’s street food. After all, there’s no one better than Jacqueline Fernandes to recommend Sri Lankan street food.
She Calls It Sri Lankan Pasta!
The actress revealed, “I think Kottu Roti is a very popular street food in Sri Lanka. Kottu Roti is basically parathas chopped into fine pieces and mixed with meat, veggies and more. It’s like Sri Lankan pasta! It’s really fun to visit a Kottu Roti store, and wait in your car for a plate of hot Kottu Roti.”

Next, Kamiya asked Jacqueline Fernandes about a dish that instantly makes her feel at home. Her reply? Dal Chawal! For her, it’s the basic yellow dal. While the actress admitted to not knowing how to cook dal and curries, but she can certainly cook a mean pasta or a retinol salad.
