Traditional Sweets
Gifting of traditional sweets meant offering prosperity to our loved ones. Athi-Rasa invokes the lore of yore, a tradition and knowledge passed on through generations with word of mouth and ancient skills. We bring back that age-old custom and the finest sweets of Sri Lanka to your homes and lives.
Culture Crunch
These sweets are made to perfection by the village women of the Kandyan region. We use authentic ingredients carefully hand-picked, selected and sourced to give you a lasting taste of Kandyan hospitality.
When you trap the love oozing from Kithul palm trees and hand mix it with rice flour, infuse it with Coconut, put in a pinch of local spices and swirl in a dash of jaggery and a touch of tradition, you create these gourmet sweets.
Whether that is Mung Kawum with the shape of a diamond, or konda kevum with a bump at the top, or kokis – the Dutch cookies with a Lankan twist, or halapa held in the embrace of a banana leaf, these sweets are food for the soul.
