Kokis is a traditional Sri Lankan sweet snack, often made during festivals and celebrations like the Sinhala and Tamil New Year. It’s a crispy, deep-fried treat made from rice flour, coconut milk, and sugar, with a hint of vanilla or cardamom for extra flavor. The dough is rolled out thin, cut into shapes, and fried until golden brown, creating a crunchy texture. Kokis has a delicate sweetness and a light, crispy bite that makes it an enjoyable snack, often paired with tea or enjoyed as a festive treat.
Its light, crunchy texture and subtle sweetness make it a unique and beloved part of Sri Lankan cuisine.
