Rice cooked in coconut milk until thick and rich, cut into diamond shapes, served with lunu miris (chili-onion relish) or jaggery. A celebratory dish marking new beginnings -- eaten at New Year, on special occasions, and on good-luck mornings, rather than as an everyday sweet.
Best found at traditional breakfast spots, especially around festival time -- the dish is made more widely and with more ceremony during these periods than on an ordinary day, so timing your visit can genuinely change the experience.
