We hear that all-too-familiar sound of the ‘Koha’ and you know what that means, Sinhala and Tamil New Year is just around the corner. When Avurudu is here, so is the hunt for the perfect kokis, kavum, aasmi and murukku. Not everyone has the time or the willpower… and, honestly, ‘the skill’ to make these traditional sweets. If you are one of us, this comparison about ‘Avurudu sweets and where to find them’ might make your life easier.
Cafe Chocolate by Chocolate_Clicks
I randomly stumbled upon this cafe while scrolling through Instagram. The video of this hamper made me stop and watch it multiple times. Why? Because they have an Avurudu sweets hamper that looks super interesting and, to be honest, extremely mouthwatering. You can order it for yourself or if you are feeling generous, you can gift it to your loved ones.
