About Aluwa

DailyLife presents aluwa as a traditional Sri Lankan sweet for the Avurudhu table. This version combines rice flour with sugar syrup, milk and cardamom, selecting cashews from the published nut options.

Cardamom gives an aromatic note to the sweetened mixture. Milk enriches the rice-flour base, while chopped cashews contribute their nutty flavour.

The mixture forms cut pieces with a rice-flour coating. Small cashew pieces contrast with the dense flour-and-syrup body, giving the finished sweets a distinct texture within their lightly coated surfaces.
