Aasmi (Sinhala: ආස්මී) is a traditional Sri Lankan deep-fried sweet snack, which is served on Aluth Avurudda/Puthandu (the Sinhalese/Tamil New Years), weddings and birthdays.[1][2][3]

It is made with a combination rice flour and coconut milk, which is mixed with juice extracted from davul kurundu leaves (cinnamon leaves) and then deep fried in coconut oil.[4] Okra juice is often used as a substitute for kurundu. It is then rested for a few days before deep fried again and topped with sugar syrup mixed with food colouring.[5]
