Lavariya | Traditional Snack From Sri Lanka | TasteAtlas

Lavariya

Lavariya is a Sri Lankan sweet treat that's made from rice flour and stuffed with coconut, moong dal, and jaggery syrup. The dough is made with a combination of rice flour, water, oil, and salt, while the filling requires grated coconut, moong dal, and jaggery.


The concoction is wrapped in banana leaves and steamed before it's ready to be served. Lavariya is a great snack for breakfast or late afternoon, and it can be found in numerous small vans or three-wheelers throughout the country, and especially in Colombo.
