Mung Kavum (also known as Undu Kavum in some regions) is a cherished sweet prepared especially for Sinhala & Tamil New Year (Awurudu) celebrations in Sri Lanka. Unlike traditional kavum made purely from rice flour, this variation includes ground mung beans, giving it a unique texture, deeper flavor, and slightly nutty richness.
Carefully mixed into a smooth batter and deep-fried until golden brown, Mung Kavum offers a soft, mildly chewy interior with a delicately crisp outer layer. Sweetened naturally with kithul treacle, this festive treat symbolizes prosperity, joy, and togetherness during the New Year season.
Prepared using time-honored Sri Lankan methods, Mung Kavum is perfect for festive tables, gift hampers, family gatherings, and cultural events.
