Maluwa specializes in traditional Sri Lankan curries made from sustainably sourced local ingredients. The initiative was started by a Sri Lankan chef with international hotel experience and certifications in nutrition and hygiene with the aim of benefitting local farmers and fishermen and making village style food more accessible for urban consumers. Dishes are prepared in clay pots over a natural wood fire. Maluwa sources vegetables, fruit, buffalo curd, and other farm products directly from small-scale producers in the Gammanpila area and purchases heirloom red and white rice from a nearby mill. Spices are sourced from other Good Market approved enterprises.
