Kiribath (milk rice) is a traditional Sri Lankan dish made from rice. The word is a compound with a transparent meaning in the Sinhala language, where kiri (කිරි) means "milk" and bath (pronounced buth) (ඛත්) means "rice". The dish is prepared by cooking rice with coconut milk, whence this name. In Tamil, the dish is called paacor. The origins of Kiribath are not clear although it has now become a traditional dish and is not uncommon in almost every household in Sri Lanka, be it rich or poor.
