Just some thoughts while summer is still here…..Growing up I didn’t like cooking, didn’t come naturally, wasn’t interested. Only really knew I loved eating Sri Lankan food…..never once tried to cook it. Left that to mum and dad…and to my aunties and uncles at those family gatherings. They did it so well, there wasn’t any need to try! Then when I got older, I wanted to celebrate being Sri Lankan, and what better way than by sharing what has to be the best cuisine in the world (ok I may be biased 😉😂)
But isn’t it so darn annoying that Sri Lankan cuisine is still so underrepresented on the shelves! You can eat a great Sri Lankan curry in a London restaurant, but can you cook it at home? Do you have the many, many, spices needed? Do you have the patience to weigh those out separately, to make sure it’s all carefully balanced. Do you know the right recipe to work with those spices. To make it just right?
Well that’s the story behind why I do what I do…with the help of my amazing mum, who really has got a gift for all things spices…..I’ve been able to produce authentic and original Sri Lankan blends with recipes attached that mean…..yes….you don’t need to be a cook to make Sri Lankan curries, you just need to follow a recipe, use our blends, and you have proper good Sri Lankan curry, from my home to yours!
When I first tried my mums curry powders, frankly I was blown away, because it really did mean I could do it….I could cook curries exactly like those I ate growing up! And that means the world to me, and to my kids, and I hope that when you try our blends, it means the world to you too ❤️❤️❤️
