An integral dish seen on the Sri Lankan Traditional sweet table during the Sinhalese New Year festivities in the month of April, Weli Thalapa which is also known as Sau Dodol is a guaranteed winner when it comes to tingling your tastebuds. The first bite itself offers you a mix of sensations while the sweet, munchy and gooey texture is a must try. Cut into squares, Weli Thalapa is brown in colour due to the treacle that is browned and boiled.
Main ingredients of Weli Thalapa include white raw rice flour, treacle or sugar, grated coconut and thick coconut milk. The method is similar to making pittu which is a main Sri Lankan meal while steaming the mixture and adding the sugar syrup to it gives it its perfect texture.

Made and packed fresh, you can now enjoy Weli Thalapa from where ever you are in the world.
