Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this product. Reach out via our contact page if you need more information.

How spicy are these chilli flakes?

Our Sri Lankan chilli flakes are moderately hot with a fruity, smoky character. Hotter than supermarket flakes but balanced — sprinkle over pizza, kottu, hoppers, eggs, soups and stir-fries.

What is the difference between chilli flakes and chilli powder?

Flakes are coarsely crushed and add visible texture plus pockets of heat. Powder is fine-ground and blends smoothly into curries and pastes. Most Sri Lankan kitchens keep both.

Can I buy these as part of an online Sri Lankan grocery order?

Yes — order chilli flakes alongside your other Sri Lankan groceries online and we ship the whole basket together. UK-wide delivery from Ceylo.

Do they contain seeds?

Yes — traditional Sri Lankan chilli flakes include the seeds, which adds heat and authentic colour. If you prefer milder, use a slightly smaller pinch.

How long do chilli flakes stay fresh?

Best within 6–12 months of opening when stored in an airtight container away from light and moisture.
