Sri Lankan roasted curry powder is an essential spice blend to make Sri Lankan curries.  Sri Lanka also known as the Spice Island is famous for its curries.  As every family likely has their own spice blend that they use for various curries, most will have the same basic flavors of Sri Lanka.  Feel free when you make your roasted Sri Lankan roasted curry powder to adjust to your liking.  This is the one I used to make the Sri Lankan Prawn curry for our International Cuisine meal.

Sri Lankan roasted curry powder surrounded by the ingredients that make it. Coriander seed, cumin seed, whole clove, black peppercorns, black mustard seed, fennel seed, basmati rice, cardomom pods. This spice blend is roasted and then ground together.  You can use a spice grinder or do it the right way with a granite mortar and pestle called gal wangediya in Sri Lanka. 

Other spices that you may want to include in your spice blend include star anise, nutmeg, fenugreek, cinnamon, mace and ginger to simply name a few.  All these spices are used regularly in Sri Lankan cuisine.

Sri Lanka is a tropical Island paradise that was a stop on the historic Oceanic Silk Road.  Sri Lanka brought the world cinnamon and black pepper two indigenous spices found on the island.

Did you know that Sri Lanka is one of the world’s largest exporters of tea and cinnamon?  If you would like to learn more about  this beautiful Island nation be sure to check out “Our Journey to Sri Lanka”.  There you will get authentic Sri Lankan recipes like pol sambal  and much more.
