A Kithul pestle and mortar set is traditionally used in Sri Lanka for preparing and grinding various ingredients, especially for making kithul treacle (a type of syrup). The mortar is typically made from sturdy materials like stone or wood, while the pestle is used to crush and grind kithul sap, spices, or herbs into a paste or powder. This kitchen tool is integral to Sri Lankan cuisine, allowing for the preparation of flavorful dishes and traditional sweets like kithul pancakes.
