Celebrating the Heart of Home: Little Big Flavour Kits Bring Sri Lankan Tradition to Your Kitchen

Mothers are at the heart of so many cherished family traditions, especially when it comes to food. Whether it's the comforting dishes passed down through generations or the special meals cooked with love, food has a way of bringing us closer. In celebration of mums everywhere – Mummy, Mum, Ammi, Umma, අම්මා, or அம்மா – Little Big Flavour Kits are sharing recipes inspired by the warmth and care that make a mother's cooking so special.

Discover the Essence of Sri Lankan Cooking

Little Big Flavour Kits offer an authentic culinary journey into the rich tapestry of Sri Lankan cuisine. Each kit is thoughtfully curated to provide you with all the essential spices and ingredients needed to recreate traditional dishes at home. The founders, Aliza and Prasadini, friends from high school in Sri Lanka, started making curry spice kits during lockdown. Their passion for sharing the delights of authentic Sri Lankan cuisine led to the creation of Little Big Flavour Kits, allowing you to explore the vibrant traditions, spices, and stories of Sri Lankan cooking.

What's Inside Each Kit?

Inside each Little Big Flavour Kit, you'll find a curated selection of whole and ground spices, coconut milk powder, a chilli sachet, a recipe card, and a video link – everything you need to create a delicious, home-cooked Sri Lankan curry. The packs cater to vegan diets without compromising on depth and complexity while offering plenty of variety. By sourcing spices directly from small family farms in Sri Lanka, Little Big Flavour Kits support local communities and ensure authenticity.
