It’s a delicious, deep-fried Sri Lankan treat made from rice flour and Kithul (sugar palm) treacle, also known as oil cake.<\/p>\n

Kevum is a must-have during the Sinhala and Tamil New Year celebrations, and it’s mentioned in many ancient Sri Lankan texts.<\/p>\n

There are different types of Kevum, each with its own unique twist:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Konda Kevum<\/strong>: This is the most common type. It’s dark red in color and made from a dough of rice flour and kithul treacle, flavored with salt and cardamom. The name “Konda” means hair in Sinhala, and it’s called that because its shape resembles a bun of tied-up hair. It’s shaped by hand without any special mold.<\/li>\n
  2. Naran Kevum<\/strong>: This variant is the size and shape of a mandarin and is colored yellow with saffron. It includes green gram flour and scraped coconut in addition to the basic kevum mix of rice flour and treacle.<\/li>\n
  3. Mun Kevum<\/strong>: This one also adds green gram flour and saffron to the kevum mix. It’s diamond-shaped and yellow, making it look quite different from the others.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Hope you get a chance to try this delightful, sweet someday! \"\ud83d\ude0a\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
