Every holiday and birthday, my mom makes Sri Lankan Kiribath which is kind of like an unsweetened, hardened rice pudding with coconut milk, rice and salt. There was this one time I made a sweetened Blueberry Kiribath that was a hit, so I figured I would make a Spiced Pumpkin Kiribath for brunch this year when she is here to visit.
