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

What is Sri Lankan roasted curry powder?

Sri Lankan roasted curry powder (thuna paha) is a deeply toasted spice blend used as the foundation of meat, dry fish and rich vegetable curries. Slow-roasting brings out a smoky, nutty aroma you cannot get from raw blends.

Where can I buy Sri Lankan roasted curry powder in the UK?

Ceylo is the UK home for authentic Sri Lankan roasted curry powder. Order online and we deliver Sri Lankan spices and groceries to your door across the UK.

How is this different from regular curry powder?

The spices are pan-roasted before grinding, which deepens the colour and unlocks toasty, complex notes. Use roasted for meat, lamb, beef and dry fish curries; regular curry powder for vegetables, dhal and lighter dishes.

How much should I use per curry?

About 1 heaped teaspoon per portion. For richer meat curries, bloom it in hot oil for 30 seconds with onion and curry leaves to release the aromatic oils.

Is the blend gluten-free and dairy-free?

Yes — only ground roasted spices. Naturally gluten-free, dairy-free and free from artificial colours or preservatives.
