Diya Bath or Palan Kanji

Today my recipe for breakfast of the recipes from on Buffer is from SriLanka. Most of the recipes from  SriLankan cuisine is very common in Indian cuisine. Specially breakfast dishes like idiyappang, porota, Appam and even many curries. When I was searching for breakfast recipes from SriLankan cuisine. I found this very traditional breakfast dish which is very close to Indian cuisine specially Kerala cuisine. Which is well known as Diya Bath or Palan Kanji in Srilankan cuisine. This is a old traditional breakfast dish, actually a very healthy breakfast and this keeps your body cool. Also we have a similar recipe in Tamilnadu and Andhra cuisine but in Andhra we use butter milk in the place of coconut milk. First I thought how that will taste with coconut milk, but the sweet taste of fresh coconut milk with this crunchy onions and green chillies and fresh curry leaves flavor make this Palan Kanji a wonderful breakfast. Yes always use fresh coconut milk for this recipe caned coconut milk don't give that flavor and taste. Simple recipe but very tasty and healthy breakfast, this keeps you full for long time.
