Kokis (Sinhala: කොකිස්) is a deep-fried, crispy Sri Lankan food made from rice flour and coconut milk. Although considered as a traditional Sri Lankan dish, it is believed to have come from the Dutch.[1] This is an important dish when celebrating Sinhala New Year and plays a major role in the festivities.
