How to cook athirasa and mun-kevum using H2O

For every Sinhalese New Year in her life his poor grandmother used coconut oil to make oil cakes (kevum) and other sweets like kokis, athirasa and aasmi.

Unfortunately she cannot do it this time because the coconut oil prices have skyrocketed. So she is asking the leaders of this government to teach us how to cook kevum using water.

Jana bala sena’ protest organized by the United National Party took to the streets at 120 electorates today. They protested the skyrocketing cost of living especially paralysing the populace from celebrating the Sinhala and Tamil New Year.
