1. Manibens Family Garam masala 

A unique blend of 11 different spices that have been carefully selected following my Grandmothers family recipe. Some of the spices have also been roasted to further enhance their flavour and aroma. The mixture is initially hand ground in the same way that my grandmother did back in India and East Africa. We then complete the process by blending the mixture by machine for a semi-coarse finish. Recommend to add into curries at the end of their cooking and to marinades to enhance the dish with a unique flavour and aroma. 

2. Tumeric Powder (hardar or haldi) 

Native to southwest India. And used for over 2500 years in India. It has many health benefits (long known for its anti-inflammatory properties, in addition to being used in everyday indian cooking. Peppery, earthy flavour and mustardy smell

These are commonly used to flavour your cooking oil, you know they are working their magic when they start popping as they cook.

Whole cumin seeds can be used to flavour your oil as before you cook and add n other ingredients or dry roasted and crushed to release their flavour into marinades too
