Nestled in the heart of Sri Lanka's culinary heritage lies a precious secret: Thools artisanal roasted curry. Passed down from generation to generation, this blend has graced family tables for centuries, adding depth and complexity to a myriad of dishes.
But what are the ingredients of this revered concoction?
Let’s explore the meticulous manufacturing process that brings Thools to life.
Inspiration and assembly
Thools is much more than just a spice blend; it is a symbol of family tradition and culinary excellence. Inspired by the recipes of our ancestors, Thools represents a harmonious combination of carefully selected ingredients. From the heat of dried red chilies to the earthy warmth of cumin seeds, each component plays a vital role in creating the distinctive flavor profile of Thools.
Sourcing and rigorous selection
Quality starts at the source. We take pride in sourcing only the highest quality organic spices from trusted farmers. Before they are transformed into Thools (note: spice blend in Tamil), the spices undergo a rigorous cleaning process. Carefully rinsed and inspected, we ensure that only the purest ingredients are included in our blend that will form the artisanal roasted curry.
Drying and Dehydration
Once cleaned, the spices are placed in large vats to be dried. Over several hours, they gently dehydrate, intensifying their flavor and aroma. This ancestral technique not only enhances the sensory experience but also prolongs the preservation of the blend.
Roasting and Grinding
With their flavors enhanced by drying, the spices are ready for the next step: roasting. Skillfully roasted to perfection, each spice releases its full-bodied essence, infusing the blend with depth and character. Once roasted, the spices are finely ground in a spice mill, ensuring a uniform texture that tantalizes the taste buds. Our artisanal roasted curry is highly volatile due to its fine grind, so be careful with your nostrils when opening the container!
Packaging with a mission
As a final touch, the freshly ground Thools is carefully packaged in eco-friendly containers. Whether in glass jars or paper packaging, each container holds 50g of pure culinary magic. Sealed with love and attention to detail, each jar of Thools is a testament to our commitment to quality and sustainability. Try it for yourself, and be warned, our artisanal roasted curry has its own character! And we have been enjoying it joyfully for nearly two centuries in our family.
Assurance of consistency and quality
At every stage of the manufacturing process, we perpetuate the timeless traditions that define Thools. By maintaining the perfect ratio of spices and adhering to strict quality control measures, we ensure consistent flavor and quality from batch to batch. Our dedication to excellence ensures that every jar of Thools offers the same unparalleled tasting experience that has delighted palates for generations.

Through our proximity to small regional producers promoting organic farming, we aim to further reduce our ecological footprint by cutting out intermediaries in the traditional spice trade.
