The story of Dixi's Kitchen

Where Dixi's love and Kandy's flavours began.

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.

The three people behind every packet

Dixi, founder of Dixi's Kitchen

Dixi

Founder

The mother whose cooking started all of this, and whose standard every batch is still measured against.

Hiran, who runs sourcing and production

Hiran

Sourcing & production

Works with the growers, watches the roast, and signs off on what goes into the packet.

Madara, who selects the Upcountry spices

Madara

Spice selection, Kandy

The Kandy connection. She chose the first spices ever sent to Dixi's kitchen, and still chooses them now.

Sourced from local growers

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.

No fillers, no fuss

Just whole spice, cleaned, processed and ground. Nothing added to stretch a batch or dull the flavour.

Straight from the hills

Bought directly from smallholder farms around Kandy and from our own family gardens in Muruthalawa.

Small batches, always fresh

We process in small runs rather than storing stock for months, so what reaches you was ground recently.

Packed to last

Weighed and sealed in food-grade packaging that holds on to aroma and oils, wherever your parcel is headed.

Inspired by tradition, perfected at scale

Four stages, in this order, every batch.

Roast

Roasted with a kitchen's judgement

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.

Grind

Milled for consistent quality

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.

Rest

Conditioned before packing

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.

Pack

Packed to preserve freshness

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.
