Kokis (කොකිස්)

Description

Embark on a culinary adventure with our Kokis, a traditional Sri Lankan delicacy that embodies the simplicity and elegance of our island’s cuisine. Renowned for their delicate, lace-like appearance and crisp texture, Kokis are not just snacks; they are a celebration of our cultural heritage and culinary artistry.

The secret to our Kokis lies in the batter, a simple yet precise mixture of finely ground rice flour and creamy coconut milk, creating a smooth, flowable consistency. This batter is seasoned with a hint of salt, balancing the natural sweetness of the coconut milk.

Crafting Kokis is an art form in itself, requiring skill and patience. The batter is poured into intricately designed, traditional iron molds, each shape reflecting a part of Sri Lankan culture. These molds are then dipped into hot oil, where the batter transforms into a golden, crispy delight.

As the Kokis are carefully removed from the oil and allowed to cool, they develop their characteristic crunch, a perfect contrast to their light, airy texture. Each piece is a work of art, with patterns as delightful to the eye as they are to the palate.

Kokis have a special place in Sri Lankan celebrations, particularly during the Sinhala and Tamil New Year, where they are a staple on the festive table. They are enjoyed by all, from children to elders, symbolizing joy, togetherness, and the spirit of celebration.

Our Kokis invite you to experience a slice of Sri Lankan life – a journey through taste and tradition. Whether enjoyed as a snack with a cup of tea or as part of a celebratory feast, they offer a unique and unforgettable culinary experience.
