Recipe for Ceylon Cinnamon Quills

Kiribath with Cinnamon-Coconut Milk

Servings: 4
Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

• 1 cup white rice (short-grain like sushi rice)

• 2 cups water

• 1 cup thick coconut milk

• 1 Ceylon cinnamon quill (broken into pieces)

• ½ tsp salt

• ½ tsp sugar (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cook Rice: Rinse rice, then cook with water in a pot until fully softened (~15 mins).

2. Infuse Coconut Milk: Warm coconut milk with cinnamon quill pieces and salt in a separate pan (do not boil). Let steep 5 mins, then remove cinnamon.

3. Combine: Pour infused coconut milk into cooked rice. Stir over low heat until creamy and porridge-like (~5 mins).

4. Set & Serve: Press into a greased tray, cool slightly, then cut into diamond shapes. Traditionally eaten with spicy lunu miris (chili relish).

Key Tips:

• Ceylon cinnamon’s magic: Its subtle citrusy notes elevate the coconut without overpowering.

• Texture: For authentic kiribath, the rice should hold its shape when sliced.

Perfect for Chai, Tea & Hot Drinks

Add a whole Ceylon Cinnamon quill to masala chai, tea, coffee, hot chocolate or warm milk and allow it to gently infuse.

Its delicate character adds warmth without overpowering the other flavours in your drink.

Ideal for Curries, Rice & Slow Cooking

Ceylon Cinnamon quills work beautifully in curries, biryani, rice pilafs, stews and slow-cooked dishes.

Simply add a whole quill during cooking to release its aromatic flavour, then remove it before serving.

Excellent for Desserts & Fruit

Use whole cinnamon quills to infuse custards, rice pudding, poached pears, stewed apples, syrups and dessert sauces.

Ceylon Cinnamon pairs particularly well with apple, pear, coconut, vanilla and chocolate.

Grind Your Own Fresh Ceylon Cinnamon

Unlike thick Cassia sticks, Ceylon Cinnamon quills have a delicate, layered structure that can be broken into smaller pieces and ground when required.

Grinding your own quills is an excellent way to enjoy freshly ground Ceylon Cinnamon powder with maximum aroma.
