  • A par-cooked dhal curry. Locally grown lentils, onions and. garlic, ginger, curry leaves, rampe, and traditional spices, slowly cooked in pure coconut oil. 100% made in New Zealand. Every ingredient named. Nothing added. Nothing hidden.

  • Skip the mess, keep the magic. Add water, coconut cream. Cook for 15 minutes on medium heat. Salt and lemon to finish. Done.

  • Rich, creamy dhal layered with tropical aromatics. It is fragrant and vibrant, then deepens. Slow heat, toasted spice, coconut smoothing the edges. Fragrant, deep, gently spiced. Distinctly Sri Lankan.

  • The short answer is ‘yes’.
    The longer answer is ‘it was designed to be’.

    Aiyō is based on our mum's traditional recipe. One built on the kind of whole-food wisdom that's kept people well for generations. Not a wellness trend. Just good ingredients, chosen carefully, cooked properly, and left alone.

    We cook everything in pure coconut oil. No seed oils, ever. No additives, no preservatives, no colors, no flavorings. No added salt. The spices do the flavor work. Balanced, layered, and genuinely good for you.

  • Sri Lankan dhal isn't fiery. It's fragrant, warm, and deeply comforting. Quite different from Indian or Thai curries. The heat in Aiyō comes gently from coriander, mustard seeds, and a careful blend of fresh and dried chilies. It hums rather than burns. Our Hot is the traditional version. Our Medium is noticeably softer, and a splash of extra coconut cream takes the edge off further.

    Truly delicious, from a heartfelt family recipe, with healthy ingredients and so easy to make for a quick week night meal. Love that Aiyo is a small Kiwi business too, so we can support local.

    Aiyō is the perfect companion for my strike missions down the coast chasing surf. Minimal additional ingredients are required to achieve a mouthwatering meal. And leftovers for brekky!

    Wanted a quick and easy meal solution for a busy weeknight. Totally amazed at the flavor packed into that little package, and the kids loved it too. Love that it can be a full meal or a side dish. So easy, so delicious and so satisfying.
