Pani Walalu (meaning “Honey Rings”) is a beloved sweet prepared especially for Sinhala & Tamil New Year (Awurudu) celebrations. Known for its beautiful spiral ring shape and glossy syrup coating, this traditional treat adds sweetness and joy to every festive table.
Made from a carefully prepared rice flour batter, the mixture is piped into hot oil in circular patterns and deep-fried until golden and crisp. Once fried, the rings are dipped in thick sugar syrup or treacle syrup, giving them their signature shine and irresistible sweetness.
Crunchy on the outside with a satisfying sugary glaze, Pani Walalu is often served alongside other Awurudu kavili such as Kavum, Kokis, and Aluwa. It symbolizes celebration, prosperity, and the sharing of happiness during the New Year season.
