Sinhala and Hindu New Year traditional food to try!

During the Sinhala and Hindu New Year, you absolutely must try Kiribath, which is a rich, savory milk rice cut into diamond shapes, traditionally eaten at the exact auspicious time. For sweets, look for Kavum, a deep fried oil cake, and Kokis, a crispy, flower shaped coconut milk snack. These traditional treats are piled high on every family table and beautifully represent the festive culture.
