Iā€™m unbelievably proud to announce that my Sri Lankan Roasted Curry Powder has just won 3 Stars in the Great Taste Awards 2024!

Sri Lankan Roasted Curry Powder....for those of you that donā€™t knowā€¦is the secret to any good Sri Lankan curry! In fact any good curry generally!

Just a few tablespoons of this powder & it will transform your curry! And this recipe is something very special...my mums very own special blend of 11 herbs & spices, roasted & ground by hand.

I entered this product in February this year having won one of the 50 places on the bursary scheme for micro producers, and never expected to win any stars let alone 3!

Just to put this in contextā€¦.of the 14,000 entrants only 1.9% (266 products) received 3 stars, representing ā€œextraordinarily tasty food and drinkā€.

Swipe to see the judges comments! They are so brilliant and this is all down to my mum!

I couldnā€™t be more proud, of my beautiful mum with her outstanding recipes that combine the old and the new of Sri Lanka, and a lot of herself! And of my heritage to this amazing country! Proving just how unique the flavours of Sri Lankan cuisine are!

Stay tuned as I have more unbelievable news coming soon re the Great Taste Awards

You can grab one of the beauties from our store or from - you might just need to be a little patient as weā€™re having an influx!

Fingers crossed we can see this product in a retailer very very soon!

Posted ā€¢ Over at we're gearing up for South Asian Heritage Month.

We've curated the culture drop a digital programme that we're running throughout South Asian Heritage Month looking at Sri Lankan Heritage and identity.

We asked to curate a playlist of Sri Lankan tunes, old and new. Indy is a Sri Lankan, award-winning, music PR and we couldn't think of anyone more perfect for this job. She's put all her music talents together to come up with a playlist of 'banging' tunes which we're releasing later this week. We're excited, I hope you are!

The Sri Lankan Culture Collective has been co-founded by Rosh Thana and me. It's a platform to celebrate Sri Lankan culture and creativity. Our celebrations will culminate in an event on 22 September with a one-day festival of food, sari draping and music. Check the link in the bio and join our waitlist.

Posted ā€¢ Hoppers have become an iconic symbol of Sri Lankan cuisine.

With only a handful of humble ingredients, hoppers are notoriously hard to make.

The batter needs to be perfect, and so does your cooking technique. There isn't much margin for error.

One person who has nailed this is Rosh, founder of . Like me, Rosh is Sri Lankan. And her heritage runs through her business.

Rosh has used her skills to create hopper-making kits, which makes the process so easy. It's, in fact, genius.

I wanted to explore hopper-making. To write about it and to photograph it.

Rosh let me spend time with her to understand the process and capture how they are made.
