Kokis - You just can’t stop at one!

It’s crunchy, light, sometimes savoury, sometimes sweet, and is quite probably the originator of the term “once you pop, you can’t stop”! The humble Kokis is said to have its roots in the “Koekjes” or cookies introduced by Dutch colonists in the 17th and 18th centuries. However, it has come a long way since then and is very much a Sri Lankan creation now. For such a simple food made of Rice Flour and Coconut Milk with a pinch of Turmeric, these golden wheels are immensely enjoyable. They are coveted by the young and the old when it is on a traditional festival table and often fought over and hoarded away for a quiet, private indulgence. So while you are on holiday, why not dive into a Kokis-making experience? Learn the nuances of creating the Kokis batter, experiment with the new age recipes and, most importantly, master the art of deep frying it just right under the watchful eyes of experienced matriarchs, who are the undisputed authority on all things Kokis!
