Famed Sri Lankan celebrity chef Koluu launched his signature range of spices and seasoning mixes named Spice It Up at the 7’O’ Fresh supermarke­t, located at 7Stories Ranjanas.

The range of spices and seasoning mixes have been designed to remove the hassle of meticulous cutting and chopping ingredient­s and blending spices together to create a deliciousl­y authentic Sri Lankan curry.

“All you have to do is add coconut milk or water and stir in the pan for a few minutes and your curry is done. It does not even take more than 10 minutes, which is rather convenient and saves a lot of your time in the kitchen. Dr. Venkateshw­aran has taken my whole range into the supermarke­t,” explained Koluu.

Present at the launch were Ranjanas CEO and Director Dr. D. Venkateshw­aran and 7Stories Ranjanas Manager Pradeepan Rajagopal.

“On behalf of 7Stories Ranjanas, we are glad to introduce this range of spices and seasoning mixes into our supermarke­t which also stocks a wide variety of local products in addition to Indian and Arabic food items. In terms of the entire department store, we wish to cater to people from all walks of life, therefore we have a wide and extensive range of products,” stated Venkateshw­aran.

The seven-storeyed building features seven levels of products and starts with watches, jewellery, perfumes, cosmetics, accessorie­s and handbags on the ground floor. The next floor stocks household items and electronic­s, stationery, handicraft­s and sports equipment. Clothing, footwear and accessorie­s for children are on the second floor while the mezzanine floor incorporat­es mother and baby care items.

The third floor carries casual wear for gents such as T-shirts, branded jeans and accessorie­s such as wallets, footwear and luggage cases and while the fourth floor caters to gents, it specialize­s in branded clothing and items.

The fifth floor features clothing for women, the sixth features bridal sarees and dresses in addition to sarees in a variety of materials and colours. The seventh and last floor is the budget floor where items are priced at 40 percent off the original price. A coffee shop is available too for the convenienc­e of shoppers.

7Stories Ranjanas has huge plans for this year, as they hope to introduce a fast food section with Kebab Turki Baba Rafi - the world’s largest chain of kebab from Indonesia, a pharmacy, foot spa, gold jewellery and a cinema hall. Parking is available at Kinross Avenue and can accommodat­e over 50 vehicles.
