Kalu Dodol is one of the most iconic and treasured sweets prepared for Sinhala & Tamil New Year (Awurudu) celebrations. Famous throughout Sri Lanka—especially in the coastal region of Kalutara—this traditional kavili is known for its rich taste, glossy dark color, and soft, chewy texture.
Prepared using thick coconut milk, finely roasted rice flour, and premium kithul jaggery, the mixture is slowly cooked and continuously stirred for hours until it thickens into a smooth, caramelized delight. This careful cooking process gives Kalu Dodol its signature deep brown color and luxurious taste.
Each bite delivers a perfect balance of creamy coconut richness and natural jaggery sweetness, making it a festive favorite among all generations. Traditionally cut into diamond or square pieces, Kalu Dodol is a must-have centerpiece on every Awurudu sweet table.
Whether shared with family, gifted to loved ones, or enjoyed as a special treat, Kalu Dodol brings the authentic taste of Sri Lankan heritage to your celebrations.
