Helping our security forces battle the Covid-19 pandemic

At the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Sri Lankan police force was insufficiently equipped to not only contain the virus proliferation amongst the public, but also to protect themselves from it. For example, in April of 2020, we noticed that neither the local police force at Dankotuwa, where our factory is located, nor the local police force at Colombo 04, where our office is located, had temperature monitoring equipment to distinguish potential covid-19 symptomatic patients visiting their police stations for essential travel permits during the island-wide lock-down.

Upon identifying this, Ceylon Exports & Trading factory manager, Chathuranga and the CEO, Dulara, immediately procured several infrared thermometers and gifted them to both the Colombo 04 and Dankotuwa police stations. We were glad to note that the Officers-In-Charge (OIC) in both localities were actively looking for them in order to enhance their Covid-19 detection and control operations.

          

 

As we look back at this period,  we would like to thank each and every one of our security personnel and health professionals during the unprecedented time. Sri Lanka was recognised globally as one of the best performing countries in the battle against the Covid-19 pandemic, and that would not have been able possible without the hard work and dedication of our security and health authorities.

Method

  • Mix together coconut flour and baking powder in a medium bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, beat eggs until well blended. Add milk, maple syrup and vanilla.
  • Add liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until lumps disappear. Let sit for 2-3 minutes so that the coconut flour absorbs some of the liquid. If the batter seems too thick you can add a bit more milk.
  • Lightly spray a large skillet or griddle with non-stick cooking spray or lightly wipe with oil. Heat skillet or griddle over medium-high heat (350 degrees in an electric skillet). Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the hot skillet or griddle. Cook until bubbles come to the surface of the pancake and the edges start to look dry. Flip and cook until bottom is golden brown.
  • Serve with toppings of choice.

Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Main Ingredients

Yields

Method

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the Coco House Organic Coconut Sugar and butter until a paste has formed with no lumps.
  • Whisk the egg and vanilla until light ribbons start to emerge. Add the Coco House Organic Coconut Flour and baking soda whilst continuing to mix, and then fold the mixture with a spatula. At this stage, do not over mix. This will cause the gluten in the flour to toughen which will increase the brittleness of the cookies.
  • Add in the chocolate chunks evenly, then chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. For a more intense toffee-like flavor and stronger color, chill the dough overnight. The longer the dough rests, the stronger its flavor will be.
  • Scoop the dough with an ice-cream scoop onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 4 inches of space between cookies and 2 inches of space from the edges of the pan so that the cookies can spread evenly.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges have started to turn a caramelised brown.
  • Let the cookies cool and then enjoy!

Method

Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C.

Chop the chocolate into chunks. Melt half, then save the other half for later.

Mix the butter and the sugar, then beat in the eggs and vanilla for 1-2 minutes until the mixture has become fluffy and light in color. Whisk in the reserved melted chocolate (make sure the chocolate is not too hot or else the eggs will cook), then sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.

Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix as this will cause the brownies to be more cake-like in texture.

Fold in the chocolate chunks, then transfer the batter into a parchment paper-lined square baking dish.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, depending on how fudgy you like your brownies, then cool completely. Slice and serve hot!
