Komikan

Okay kiddo, have you ever seen a fruit called a coconut? It's a big, brown, hairy ball with white stuff inside, and people like to drink the juice and eat the flesh.

Well, sometimes people in places like Sri Lanka and India take the flesh and mash it up into a kind of paste. They add some spices and maybe some chili peppers to make it taste interesting. Then, they roll it into little balls and fry them up in hot oil.

Those fried coconut balls are called komikan, and they're a really delicious snack that lots of people enjoy. They're crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside, with a sweet and savory flavor.

So next time you see a coconut, think about all the different ways people all around the world like to enjoy it!
