Hiriketiya seems full of expensive avocado toast and smoothie bowls. Where can I find a massive, cheap plate of authentic Sri Lankan rice and curry nearby.

You have to walk out of the bay and up to the main Dikwella road (about a 10-minute walk). Right on the main highway, look for "Roti Huts" or small local "Hotel" signs (in Sri Lanka, small restaurants are called hotels). They serve excellent, fiery rice and curry buffets at lunchtime for about 400-600 LKR.

Garlic Cafe just outside the bay is decent, but yes, the main road is where the real local prices are.

If you see clay pots lined up in the window, that is where you want to eat lunch!
