WELCOME

The story of Sri Lankan spices dates back over 2,500 years when Sri Lanka became a paradise for spice cultivation and trade.

The blend of various spices known as curry powder is unique to each family in Sri Lankan communities. Sri Lankan curry powder is a robust aromatic blend of roast and unroasted spices, herbs, and other ingredients. This is one of the most robust spice blends in the world made with a long list of piquant spices and fragrant herbs. The medicinal properties of the spices and herbs used in this spice blend for curry powder has a powerful healing effect for many ailments. Consuming curry powder may boost brain and digestive health, improve feelings of fullness, lower blood sugar levels, and provide antibacterial effects. The flavor, taste and the aroma are however the most addictive of all.

Our special blend of curry powders is unique and authentic to my family’s heritage. This curry powder was created by my mother and father when they first arrived in the United States in 1980, longing for food and curries from home.

“Indigenous and traditional foods of Sri Lanka present a perfect blend of cultural diversity with human wisdom that has been evolved through generations in establishing a cultural heritage and an identity. In the Sri Lankan culture, food is treated with the highest gratitude, respect, and generosity, expressed by sharing and offering to fellow humans, animals as well as the divine powers. Sri Lankans love to share foods with neighbors, family, and friends; house visits are always accompanied with bundles of food items.” It is my hope that I can share in this wisdom, traditions, and generosity with you when you visit Sithy’s Gourmet Goods.
