Kimbula buns are a traditional Sri Lankan sweet bun shaped like a crocodile, often enjoyed as a sweet snack or dessert. These pastries are made with a dough consisting of flour, sugar, coconut milk, and usually uses yeast or baking powder for leavening. The dough is rolled out and shaped into elongated forms resembling crocodiles, hence the name "kimbula" which means crocodile in Sinhala. Kimbula buns are typically baked until golden brown and may be flavored with ingredients like cardamom or vanilla for added aroma.
