Sri Lankan Milk Rice is an aromatic, coconut-rich, comfort food from childhood. Whether you like it as savoury or sweet, this recipe makes a healthy breakfast.
On medium heat, use a deep wide enough pot to boil the rice, cinnamon stick, pandan leaf and salt with water.
When the water is absorbed to the rice, add the coconut milk at the end and mix well. Reduce the heat if necessary and let it cook for a minute.
Once the coconut milk is fully absorbed, the rice will become a little sticky and thicker.
Turn off the stove, pour it in a plate or a baking tray. Flatten it thick and smooth out the sides.
Let it cool down completely, once it's set you may cut it into a diamond shape or square pieces and serve it with your favourite side.
