விநாயகர் சதுர்த்தி நல் வாழ்துக்கள் 🙏🏾
Best wishes on Vinayagar Sathurthi

Ten years ago, on Vinayagar Sathurthi, the first spark for RUCI logo was born, and with it, the little elephant you now know as our logo.
Vinayagar, the remover of obstacles, is the one we turn to before anything new begins. It felt that he would watch over us, the starting of a small food brand carrying Sri Lanka in a jar. And my love for elephants 🐘❤️
Our baby elephant RUCI, with her trunk lifted high, trumpeting with joy! They say a raised trunk carries blessings too. Both felt the right thing to build a brand

Sundal is a favouring Sri Lankan dish, boiled chickpeas stir fried with tempering spices, chillies, onions and curry leaves. Here is a quick way to make it. Just a couple of spoons of our Green Coconut Sambol to load the flavours to this simple dish.

A journey through Sri Lanka in five shots. Yesterday I was lucky enough to join a guided tasting of Three Families Cocktail seasoning with the one and only Ryan Chetiyawardana aka Ryan Chetiyawardana 🦁 Mr Lyan Verdant Sinhaya, Amethyst Punch, Pettah Market, Ceylon Sour and Sunset Pekoe - each one telling its story.

My standout? The Ceylon Sour. Calamansi, tamarind and coriander seed mixed with sweetened lime juice & soda, delicate, bright and so easy on your palate. It even worked beautifully poured over pure vanilla ice cream.

Special mention to Pettah Market, which somehow bottled the aromas and the buzzing of the market itself. Incredible stuff!

It starts with the onions.
The small red onions in our Katta Sambol come from Jaffna, sharper, sweeter, with a depth you can taste beneath the heat. We grind them with dried red chillies, rock salt and zesty lime into a fiery relish, that does a lot with very little. We reworked the traditional recipe to keep it Vegan, no Maldive fish. So however you like to eat it, from rice & curry to having on a slice of buttered toast, enjoy the taste, just a spoonful.

One of our favorite things about working food fairs today, is the team getting to debrief over delicious food in the evening!

A few weeks ago whilst at , we met the brilliant team and after sampling some of their delights we left with a charcuterie pack for the evening. Paired we our pineapple chutney, seeni sambol and lime chutney we found that the spice and sweetness from our jars complimented the salty fats from their meats perfectly.

If you’re in the mood to test out Christmas charcuterie options, defo don’t miss out on this combo - it’s been in regular rotation for us since 🥰

It’s been a busy couple of weeks here at Ruci with us having a stall at in August and then at earlier this month and finally having worked with a brilliant group of Sri Lankan women to form and put on an event at this weekend!

We’ll definitely be posting more in-depth content about all of the above soon, but whilst we recover here’s a snap of one of our favorite quick breakfasts. Frozen paratha, fried eggs, soy sauce and seeni sambol, absolute perfection in our eyes 😍
