Manufacturer's description
Inspired by the Malay style cooking of the South Indian Malabaris, we've combined fragrant cinnmaon, cloves and our own aromatic Garam Masala with red lentils, creamy coconut, a zesty kick of fresh lime, and mild red chillies to make this meal an intensely flavoursome scoop of nourishing enlightenment!
One of our most popular blends and very versatile. Try sprinkling it over sweet vegetables such as carrots and roast or cook in Vichy or buttery style - beautifully delicate.
Made in Ireland.
