Malwatte Roasted Curry Powder is Sri Lankan roasted curry powder, a dark ground spice blend, packed in a 1kg printed card carton. It comes from Malwatte Valley Plantations, which processes and packs spices in its own factory.
In Sri Lankan kitchens the spices for this blend are dry roasted before grinding, which gives a darker colour and a deeper, toasted flavour than plain curry powder. It is the usual choice for meat and fish curries.
