Aggala

Aggala are a traditional Sri Lankan sweet. They are essentially sweet roasted rice balls, made from rice, coconut, jaggery or treacle and pepper.
Traditionally sun-dried boiled rice is ground into a powder and mixed with fresh shredded or desiccated coconut, shaved jaggery, pepper and water until it forms a thick paste. The mixture is then rolled into small balls, and coated with rice powder or flour. Other recipes include the addition of cinnamon into the mixture and coating the balls with roasted sesame seeds. They are eaten as snacks.
