Aasmi is one of the most distinctive sweets prepared for Sinhala & Tamil New Year (Awurudu) celebrations. Known for its lace-like, crispy texture and signature pink sugar topping, Aasmi adds both color and crunch to the traditional festive table.
Prepared from a smooth batter of rice flour and coconut milk, Aasmi’s uniqueness comes from the addition of a natural herbal extract (traditionally from Dawul Kurundu leaves), which gives the batter its special texture when fried. The mixture is skillfully poured into hot oil in thin layers, creating a light, net-like crisp sweet. Once fried to perfection, it is topped with a vibrant sugar syrup, often pink in color, for a festive finish.
Aasmi is not just a sweet — it is a symbol of celebration, craftsmanship, and Sri Lankan culinary heritage, enjoyed by families during New Year gatherings and special occasions.
