A true Sri Lankan classic, “Kiribath” or Milk Rice as the Westerners call it, is a traditional breakfast dish as well as a celebratory treat for special occasions. In some Asian cultures including Sri Lanka, milk and rice is a significant symbol of prosperity, luck and happiness in abundance.
Milk Rice is mainly cooked during the Sinhalese New Year and various festive and auspicious occasions, while locals also have the tradition of cooking this creamy mild flavoured rice cake on the first day of every month.
