The story of Dixi's Kitchen
Dixi's Kitchen began with a mother's love and a family's passion for food.
Dixi, my mother, always believed that food was a beautiful way to express love, warmth and togetherness. As a mother of three sons and a daughter, her cooking became a special part of our family. At every gathering, people looked forward to her food, and even today her unique taste remains a cherished family memory.
When I met Madara, my wife from Kandy, a new chapter began. She brought with her the rich flavours of Sri Lanka's Upcountry, and started sending carefully selected spices from Kandy to my mother. With these spices, my mother's cooking became even more aromatic, richer and more delicious.
That simple family tradition sparked an idea. What if we could bring the same taste and warmth to other families? And so Dixi's Kitchen was born.
Today we source quality spices from our own gardens and trusted growers across the Upcountry, carefully pack them, and bring them to busy towns and cities — because a little taste of the Upcountry can bring the warmth of home to any kitchen.
Founder
The mother whose cooking started all of this, and whose standard every batch is still measured against.
Sourcing & production
Works with the growers, watches the roast, and signs off on what goes into the packet.
Spice selection, Kandy
The Kandy connection. She chose the first spices ever sent to Dixi's kitchen, and still chooses them now.
We source quality Sri Lankan spices directly from local growers and smallholder farms across the central hills and Upcountry — cardamom, chilli, turmeric, pepper, cinnamon, curry powder, mace, nutmeg and cloves, alongside carefully prepared biriyani and masala blends and Ceylon teas. Working closely with growers is how we get the real aroma of the hills into kitchens in towns and cities.
Just whole spice, cleaned, processed and ground. Nothing added to stretch a batch or dull the flavour.
Bought directly from smallholder farms around Kandy and from our own family gardens in Muruthalawa.
We process in small runs rather than storing stock for months, so what reaches you was ground recently.
Weighed and sealed in food-grade packaging that holds on to aroma and oils, wherever your parcel is headed.
Eight spices, in stock and packed to order. Prices below are per packet — the full list with every size is further down the page.

Four stages, in this order, every batch.
Our spices are roasted with the same care and understanding found in traditional Sri Lankan kitchens, using carefully controlled processes that preserve their natural aroma, depth of flavour and wholesome goodness.
Selected spices are processed using controlled milling methods designed to preserve their natural aroma, flavour and essential oils, while achieving a consistent, fine texture in every batch.
After grinding, the spice is given the time it needs to settle and condition under controlled conditions. That's what keeps it fresh, dry and clump-free in the packet.
Each batch is carefully weighed, packed and sealed in food-grade packaging that protects the natural aroma and flavour on its way to your kitchen.
We supply hotels, restaurants, bakeries, caterers and retailers with the same spices in commercial quantities — single spices, roasted and unroasted curry powder, biriyani and masala blends, and Ceylon tea.
