Cooking Preferences & Uses

- Light Karahi – balanced spices and gravy
- Tawa Masala – desi spicy street style
- Grilled Steaks – simple herbs & lemon

Cooking Tip:
Scoring the marinated flesh will be too shallow before we dip it — marinating puts more flavor into the meat, because of this, we create a better way for our spices to penetrate, along with supporting an intact piece of meat.
