OUR STORY
In the bustling streets of Vanni, Sri Lanka, our journey began—a tale of resilience, nostalgia, and the pursuit of flavors that define home. As immigrants navigating foreign lands, our longing for the comforting aromas of our homeland led us on a quest to recreate the essence of our cherished culinary traditions.
Drawing inspiration from childhood memories infused with the rich scents of fried fish and mutton curry, we embarked on a mission to capture the soulful flavour of Sri Lankan cuisine. Each ingredient, meticulously selected, curry leaves, cumin, fenugreek, coriander, cinnamon and more imbued with the wisdom of generations past, held within them the stories of our ancestors.
Guided by the teachings of our grandparents, we learned the art of roasting these fragrant spices, blending them with dried red chilis to craft the perfect harmony of flavors—our beloved curry powder, the heartbeat of our meals.
Amidst the relentless grind of daily life and the chilling embrace of winter mornings, our hearts ached for the taste of home—a longing only satisfied by the familiar flavors of a Sri Lankan-inspired chicken curry or potato fry. With each dish, seasoned with our Fresh Off the Boat Roasted Curry Powder, we found a remedy for the homesickness that gripped us. A true reminder of the warmth and comfort of our roots.
With each spoonful, a symphony of tastes dances on the palate, transporting us back to the sun-kissed shores of our homeland. Our brand embodies not just a product, but a nostalgic journey—a testament to the enduring bond between food, family, and the place we call home.
