Athirasa

Athirasa is a traditional sweet made with a combination of rice flour, roasted rice, coconut treacle, coconut oil, and cardamom. The ingredients are formed into a stiff paste that is flattened into circles, then deep-fried in hot oil. These small cakes are traditionally prepared for festive occasions, and they're usually served with other sweets such as kokis and kavum. Apart from Sri Lanka, this sweet treat is also popular in India during Diwali.
