Aluwa (Sri Lankan delight made out of rice flour)

Rice Flour 400g

Sugar 300g

Water 1 cup

Sesames Seeds 100g

Cashew 50g (finely chopped)

1/4 tsp of cinnamon powder

1/4 tsp of nutmeg powder

One clove

1/4 tsp cardommon powder

Roast rice flour and sesames seeds separately until golden brown. Keep it aside to cool down. Then add water and sugar and bring it to boil until the mixture reaches to the right consistent. You can test the mixture for its right consistency by taking a spoon and see whether the mixture makes a thread looking line at the end when poured down from the spoon. Keep the sugar mixture aside until it is perfectly cool.

Keep a 1/4 of the roasted rice flour away from the roasted flour mixture from which you take 1/2 to spread across a flat tray. Keep the other 1/2 for garnishing

Add all other dry ingredients in the recipe to the remaining 3/4th flour mixture and then mix it to the sugar mixture. While mixing the ingredients together pour it to the flat tray and add the remaining flour on top and the level it before cutting in to diamond shapes.
