What are the best traditional sweets for Sinhala New Year.

For sweets you must try Kavum a deep fried oil cake sweetened with kithul treacle and Kokis a highly crispy savory snack shaped like a star or flower using a special mold.

Another massive favorite is Mung Kavum which are sweet diamond shaped treats made from green gram flour and jaggery heavily fried until golden. Every hotel will feature a massive table covered in these treats during April.
