Ingredients
- 1 lb white short grain rice (ideally Sri Lankan rice called kekulu)
- 3 cups thick coconut milk
- 5 cups water
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Wash the rice and place in a large saucepan with the water and salt.
- Bring to a boil uncovered, over medium heat.
- Reduce heat, cover, and simmer on medium / low heat until water is absorbed and rice is tender (about 20 to 25 minutes).
- Add the coconut milk and stir well until everything is mixed.
- Simmer on low heat until the rice absorbs all the coconut milk (about 15 minutes).
- Remove from fire and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to a large shallow dish and flatten with the back of a flat spoon, spatula or parchment paper.
- Draw lines on the top surface in the shape of diamond or square.
- Let cool and solidify for about 10 minutes before cutting into pieces.
- Serve with seeni sambol and / or lunu miris,
Notes
- The proportions of coconut milk and water are approximate. The amount of water and coconut milk depends on the type of rice that is used.
- If the surface of the rice dries too quickly, apply a little coconut milk to rehydrate it.
- In some parts of Sri Lanka, kiribath is traditionally prepared with red rice.
