Sri Lanka is famous for its unique sweets and desserts, many of which have been enjoyed for generations. Typically, desserts are served after main meals, while sweets are enjoyed during morning and afternoon tea times. Sri Lankan sweets are often infused with aromatic local spices and sweetened with treacle, a syrup extracted from coconut or kithul (Caryota urens) palm trees. In addition, ingredients like shredded coconut, coconut milk, and coconut oil are commonly used, adding rich flavor and authentic tropical charm to these treats.
This Sri Lankan-style chocolate roll is a unique twist on the classic Swiss roll, offering a flavor unlike any commonly available Swiss rolls. Soft, moist, and rich in chocolatey goodness, it’s a treat that’s both indulgent and memorable.
“Kokis” is a traditional Sri Lankan sweet that’s deep-fried to a crispy perfection, made from rice flour, coconut milk, and other authentic ingredients. Each bite is delightfully crunchy, offering a satisfying texture alongside its rich flavor.
Coconut squares (Pol Toffee) are a traditional Sri Lankan sweet mainly made with shredded coconuts. Coconuts are mixed with sugar and other spices to get its unique flavor and the texture. Each bite delivers a perfect balance of sweetness and the rich, tropical taste of coconut.
Potato Toffee is a traditional Sri Lankan sweet made from mashed potatoes, sugar, and a hint of aromatic spices. The mixture is cooked until it reaches a soft, chewy texture and then cut into bite-sized pieces. Sweet, rich, and slightly spiced, this treat is a nostalgic favorite that perfectly showcases the unique flavors of Sri Lankan desserts.
Lentil patties, locally called Dal Vada, are made with yellow lentils (Chana Dal) and a blend of spices for authentic Sri Lankan flavor. Served with coconut chutney. This is another great choice for anyone looking for gluten-free savory snacks.
We introduced Chicken Kottu at the holiday market, and it was a big hit with the crowd.
