Kola kanda is a nourishing Sri Lankan drink made with a blend of rice, herbal greens, and coconut milk.
The soaked rice gives it a creamy, hearty base, while the fresh herbal leaves like gotukola and hathawariya provide an earthy and slightly bitter flavor. The thick coconut milk adds richness, making it smooth and comforting. With a pinch of salt and a hint of jaggery or sugar, it strikes a perfect balance between savory and subtly sweet.
Kola kanda is not just delicious, but also a healthful drink, packed with nutrients that support digestion, boost energy, and enhance overall well-being.
