Introduction:
Kiribath is a traditional Sri Lankan dish, made from Rice and Coconut Milk. In Sinhalese (Sri Lankan language) the word "Kiri" means Milk and "Bath" means Rice.
It is usually made on very special occasions like Wedding Ceremonies, New Years, Religious Festivals etc. It's also served for breakfast on the first day of every month.
Ingredients:
1. Rice (Unpolished) 500g
2. Coconut Milk (Thick) 500ml
3. Water As required
4. Salt According to taste
Preparation:
Clean and wash the rice, put them into cooking pan and then put water to cook the rice. Keep your index finger on the surface of rice and put water upto second joint of your finger. Cover and cook in low heat.
When you're done with rice then add coconut milk and salt, stir and cook for few minutes. When the milk is absorbed into the rice then turn off the stove. Now take a tray and place a banana leaf on it, and then put the prepared kiribath on the leaf and flatten it using a spatula or a flat spoon, then cut it into diamond or square shapes and serve with bananas, jaggery and Lunu Miris (a Sri Lankan chilli paste). I'll discuss the Lunu Miris later :)
