Curd and treacle

Curd and treacle is a popular Sri Lankan sweet treat that is mainly enjoyed for breakfast. The dish consists of a creamy curd (meekiri), mostly made from buffalo milk, which is drizzled with sweet treacle—in Sri Lanka known as kithul peni and traditionally made from the sap of the fishtail or toddy palm (caryota).

The combination of curd and molasses is often sold by street vendors, but it is also regularly served for breakfast and on various special occasions.
