Ayubowan!
I warmly welcome you to mu YouTube channel
Today's tutorial will be on how to make Kiribath using a Rice Cooker
This has been requested by many Sri Lankans living abroad
Let's take a look at the required ingredients
I have used White rice this time around
In the previous video I had used Basmati Rice
Kakulu Rice can also be used if desired
If you are cooking Kiribath for breakfast, it is best to let the rice soak overnight (after washing)
The water level can be around an inch from the surface of the rice
Then you can simply switch on the rice cooker in the morning and let it cook
The Kiribath tastes best when the rice is soaked better
Here we have 1kg of White Rice
Add 2tbs of Salt
The flavor of the Kiribath is brought out by the Salt and the Coconut milk
Some people add the coconut milk early on
But I will add it later
Flip the switch on to "Cooking Mode" and let it cook
The rice has been cooking for 15mins
The rice has cooked well
The rice cooker is still on "Cooking Mode"
Now we add the Coconut Milk
Around 400ml of Coconut milk
Make sure to mix well after adding the coconut milk
The coconut milk should reach the bottom of the cooker as well
Then flatten the rice
And let it cook on the "Keep Warm Mode" of the rice cooker for another 15mins
This will help absorb the milk into the rice
Do not remove the rice from the cooker as soon as you add the milk
Feel free to add a bit more milk if desired, and leave in the cooker for a while longer
The rice has been in the "Keep Warm Mode" for 15mins
The rice has started to harden
Now we will transfer the rice on to a plate or a tray to flatten the Kiribath
Let it cool for a while and proceed on to cutting the rice into blocks
I have plated up the cut up slices of Kiribath with some Lunu Miris
You can also add some Pandan Leaves or Cardomom when cooking the rice
It will add on to the flavor
Hope this tutorial was helpful to you
Till we meet again next time
Ayubowan!
