Even though milk rice can be ordered from street-side eateries, it is a luscious dish that goes way back in Sri Lanka. It is cooked to celebrate special days, auspicious events, and even national festivals of the country such as the Sinhala and Tamil New Year. Milk Rice, or Kiribath, as the natives call it, is a simply delightful blend of rice with creamy coconut milk. Although the tradition says that you should garnish it with Lunu Miris, you can make use of any other gravy that you like to make this dish full of flavour! Chicken or fish gravy works well with this toothsome combination to bring one unparalleled dining experience.
