Sri Lankan chilli powder and flakes

Dried red chillies (Capsicum annuum) from Sri Lanka, ground into powder or crushed into flakes. Bright, fruity and properly hot, the heat behind Sri Lankan curries, sambols and devilled dishes.

How to Use Chilli Powder and Flakes

  • Curries: ½–2 tsp per pot, depending on how hot you like it
  • Pol sambol: mix flakes with grated coconut, red onion, lime and salt
  • Devilled dishes: add powder or flakes to devilled chicken, prawns or potatoes
  • Rice: ¼ tsp per cup of rice for subtle heat
  • Marinades and rubs: combine with garlic, salt and lime

Tips: Sri Lankan chilli is hot, so start with less and add more. Fry powder briefly in oil to deepen the colour, but don't let it burn.

Recipes to Try

Pol sambol

Mix 1 cup freshly grated coconut with 1–2 tsp chilli flakes, a small chopped red onion, lime juice and salt.

Devilled potatoes

Fry boiled potato cubes with onion, capsicum, 1 tsp chilli flakes, tomato sauce and a little soy sauce.

Simple chicken curry

Fry onion, garlic, ginger and curry leaves, add 2 tsp curry powder, 1 tsp chilli powder and chicken, then simmer in coconut milk.

Storage & Freshness

  • Keep in an airtight container away from light, heat and moisture

Use in normal culinary amounts. Very hot; keep away from children.

Heat Seeker Helen
Curry Powder Too Mild

The Ceylon curry powder is high quality but too mild for my taste. I prefer spicier blends. Good for people who want authentic flavor without heat but not for spice lovers like me.

N
Natural Remedy Nancy

Using Ceylon cloves for toothache relief and they work better than commercial products. The essential oils are clearly more potent. Also great for studding hams and mulled cider.

Order Issue Ollie
