Milk rice, or “Kiribath,” is a traditional Sri Lankan dish made by cooking rice with creamy coconut milk until it becomes soft and rich. It has a smooth, slightly sticky texture with a mild, naturally sweet coconut flavor. The rice is usually cut into diamond or square shapes and is often eaten with spicy onion sambol (lunu miris) or jaggery for a sweet touch. Milk rice is a special dish served during celebrations, festivals, and important occasions.
Warm, comforting, and simple, it is a delicious way to start the day or mark a happy moment with family and friends.
