Vinula

Vinula is a traditional Sri Lankan sweet made from coconut milk, sugar, and rice flour. It is a popular dessert, often served during festivals and special occasions. The name "vinula" is derived from the Tamil word "vinul," which means "sweet." The dessert is typically prepared by boiling coconut milk and sugar together until it thickens, then mixing in rice flour to form a dough. This dough is then rolled into thin sheets, cut into diamond shapes, and fried until golden brown. Vinula is known for its rich, creamy flavor and crispy texture. It is often garnished with sugar or coconut flakes for added sweetness and crunch. Vinula is a staple in Sri Lankan cuisine and is enjoyed by people of all ages. It is also a popular export, with many Sri Lankan communities around the world making and sharing this sweet treat with their loved ones.
