Hari Hari

Hari Hari is a Sri Lankan expression which has a number of interpretations from “OK OK” to “It’s coming”. It implies an impatience of having to wait – which I feel every time I cook a curry, making it the perfect name for my spices! Born in Germany to a Sri Lankan mum and British dad, we moved to Sri Lanka when I was a child. I spent a substantial part of my life there, falling in love with the captivating colours and aromas of spice. I spent a lot of time in kitchens, watching and learning how spices were used and learning about the traditions, history and influences that make Sri Lankan food unique. It was here that I developed a true love for the unique flavours of Sri Lankan curries. Later, I discovered the amazing health benefits of the spices used in Sri Lankan curries, which only helped to further my love for using spices in my cooking. I don’t just use them in my curries anymore but also in my chicken stuffing, added to baked beans, omelette, casseroles and more! Living in the UK now, I stopped working as a Senior HR Manager after having my 3 children. I found it near impossible to source authentic Sri Lankan spices to keep the curry flowing so my mum, who still lives in Sri Lanka became my personal supplier. Whenever I cooked a curry, my friends and family invited themselves round to partake. They had been on at me for years to sell my curries; which led to the birth of the idea of Hari Hari. The start of our story….our journey. The Sri Lankan curry symbolises fresh home cooked food and family & friends togetherness – a dining experience you won’t forget in a hurry. The aim of my pre blended spices is to make cooking a curry yourself less intimidating – to make it easy so, more accessible to all. And there is no need to buy a whole load of jars and packets – all the spices you need for your curry are in the Hari Hari pack. For a truly authentic, home cooked Sri Lankan curry taste experience (like no other) Hari Hari is the one for you.
