Pro tip

Taste as you go. Traditional Hela cuisine balances heat, salt, and acidity by feel — trust your senses.

Method

Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice 2–3 times with clean water until the water runs clear.
  2. Add the washed rice and 4 cups of water to a pot. Cook over medium heat until the water is absorbed and the rice is soft.
  3. Pour in the thick coconut milk and add 1 tsp of salt. Mix gently to combine.
  4. Cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the rice becomes thick, creamy, and sticky (about 5–7 minutes).
  5. Transfer the milk rice to a flat plate or tray. Flatten evenly using the back of a spoon or spatula.
  6. Allow it to cool slightly, then cut into diamond or square shapes using a knife.
  7. Serve warm with lunu miris, sugar, jaggery, or fish curry for a traditional Sri Lankan meal.
