Retail – East End TANDOORI MASALA 1kg

Description

E.E. Tandoori Masala 1 kg: a ready mixed tandoori blend in a practical larger pack.

Tandoori masala is a blend of ground spices used to marinate meats, paneer and vegetables in the tandoori style, bringing a warm, aromatic flavour and the familiar reddish colour. This 1 kg pack from East End Foods is a useful mid size, more generous than a small retail tub but easier to handle than a full catering pack, so it suits keen home cooks and smaller kitchens. You blend it into yoghurt with fresh aromatics to make the marinade.
