Our Story

From a Trinidadian kitchen to yours.

One recipe. Three generations.

Kurma is a Caribbean staple, light, crisp pastry traditionally made for festivals and gatherings. We make it the way our grandmother did, in small batches, with the same warm spices and slow patience.

We just wrapped it for the way you snack today.

What is Kurma?

A taste with a story.

Kurma is a traditional Trinidadian snack: slender pastry sticks, fried golden and glazed in warm spiced sugar. It travelled to the Caribbean with the Indian diaspora and, over generations, became something distinctly Trinidadian: lighter, crisper, perfumed with the islands.

In Caribbean homes it's a hospitality food, what you offer when someone walks through the door. We think it deserves to be discovered far beyond them.
