Aluwa is one of the most treasured sweets prepared during Sinhala & Tamil New Year (Awurudu) celebrations in Sri Lanka. Known for its soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture and rich traditional flavor, Aluwa holds a special place on every festive table.
Carefully prepared using roasted rice flour blended with sweet kithul treacle or sugar syrup, and delicately flavored with cardamom, this sweet is shaped into diamonds or squares and often decorated with cashew pieces. The roasting process gives Aluwa its unique aroma and slightly nutty taste, while the treacle adds natural caramel sweetness.
A symbol of prosperity and happiness, Aluwa is lovingly shared among family and friends during New Year festivities and special occasions.
