Parade of colours in our meals //White week // Milk rice

Hello,@mvchacin, I am @senehasa from Sri Lanka. This is my first post in the community of the Steem Iron Chef. This week, you chose the color white, which is frequently associated with thoughts of simplicity, purity, and cleanliness. As we can chose any kind of food, drink, dessert, fruit, vegetable or anything, I decided to choose Milk Rice.

Milk Rice, our traditional dish, known as Kiribath in Sinhala, is prepared for significant occasions like weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, and opening ceremonies. For the celebration of the new year on January 1, milk rice is a necessary dish. In addition, Milk Rice, which is served at our Sinhala & Tamil New Year event on April 14th, takes center stage.

This Kiribath dish was a favorite of mine both as a child and an adult. We consume milk rice with banana and katta sambal. My family and many other families in Sri Lanka have a custom of making milk rice for special occasions. I can recall, for each of our birthdays and their wedding anniversaries, my mother used to make this milk rice. A custom that my mother practiced for years and that I now follow in my home.

Making Kiribath (Milk Rice) at home is really simple. We need only two ingredients, that is rice and coconut milk. Always use rice that absorbs moisture and becomes mushy. "Kakulu Rice" is what we traditionally use to make milk rice. However, Kakulu Rice can be substituted with basmati or any other rice which goes mushy when cooked.

Rice is cooked until it is mushy, then coconut milk is added and thoroughly combined. Take a banana leaf and place the hot kiribath on it after a short while. As soon as we place it on the banana leaf, immediately cut it into squares or other desired shapes, and then let it cool. As it cools, it will get hard.
