What is Sri Lankan kola kenda?

Kola kenda is a traditional Sri Lankan herbal porridge, usually prepared from rice, coconut and selected green leaves. Recipes vary between households and regions, but it is commonly served warm as a savoury morning food or drink. Naturista Shakthi Porridge 125g packages several familiar ingredients in powdered form to make preparation easier.

The blend contains gotukola (Centella asiatica), welpenela (Cardiospermum halicacabum) and heen bowitiya (Osbeckia octandra), together with curry leaves, garlic and ginger. Rice flour and grated coconut powder complete the porridge-style base. From the ingredient list, you can expect a green herbal character accompanied by savoury, aromatic notes rather than the profile of a sweet breakfast cereal.

Kola kenda and its ingredients have a long place in Sri Lankan food and Ayurvedic traditions. That cultural history does not establish that this product can prevent or treat illness. Naturista Shakthi Porridge is sold as a food or beverage product, not as medicine, and should not replace a balanced diet or professional medical care.

Quick preparation as a hot drink

1. Place two spoonfuls of Naturista Shakthi Porridge powder into a cup, using only the measuring spoon supplied with the container.
2. Add salt to taste, then pour in 100ml of boiling water.
3. Stir thoroughly, cover the cup and leave it for 6–8 minutes.
4. Stir again before drinking. The manufacturer suggests serving it in the morning before breakfast.

Take care when handling boiling water, and allow the drink to reach a comfortable temperature before consuming it.

Traditional-style porridge preparation

For a more substantial serving, the manufacturer provides a cooked porridge method. You will need 1½ tablespoons of Shakthi Porridge powder, ½ cup red kekulu rice, two cups coconut milk, two or three shallots and salt to taste.

1. Wash the rice, add water and cook until soft.
2. Mash the cooked rice well.
3. Add the coconut milk, finely chopped shallots, 1½ tablespoons of the powder and the required amount of salt.
4. Mix continuously over the heat for about 10 minutes.
5. Allow the porridge to cool to a safe serving temperature, stir well and enjoy.

Use the directions on the container you receive as the final guide, since packaging instructions can change.
