Kiribath
White rice cooked with coconut milk and salt, pressed into a firm layer and cut into diamonds or squares. Serves 4.
Kiribath is a Sri Lankan rice dish made with coconut milk. In this version, non-parboiled white rice is cooked until very tender; coconut milk and salt are then added, and the mixture is cooked until it can be spread and holds its shape.
Method
- 01
Rinse the rice
Rinse the rice several times with cold water until the water runs almost clear; drain it.

Cook the rice
Put the rice and water in a heavy-based pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; cover, lower the heat and simmer for 18–20 minutes, until the water is absorbed and the grains are very tender. If they are still firm, continue cooking, covered, for a few more minutes.

Add the coconut milk and salt
Stir the coconut milk and salt into the hot rice. Cook uncovered over low heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture looks creamy and begins to pull away from the sides of the pot.

Spread the kiribath
