We are having such fun cooking from The Spice Pack Collection and all the dishes have come out brilliantly. The smell is divine and Rob, who is very fussy, is particularly impressed. All our visitors are wowed when they smell the box – we’ve been too possessive to share any with others, as yet!
As a natural therapist I particularly appreciate the healthy aspect of each dish, none of which compromise on taste. Good ingredients freshly cooked makes a big difference.
We’re going on holiday with three other couples in a couple of weeks and going to take the pack with us to cook some dishes together.
Saag & Corn Roti Dinner Kit
£4.45
The Saag & Corn Roti dinner kit is a delicious dish of dark leafy greens served with the lesser known corn chapatti (Makki di roti).
Saag was traditionally made with mustard leaves, spinach and fenugreek leaves and always . Makki di roti -the corn roti, is made from cornmeal and is the traditional accompaniment to Saag (spiced greens).
This is the hearty dish of working farmers and we give you the original recipe, as it was when our parents first arrived in England.
Each sachets serves 4 people. Method instructions come through via email, after purchase.
Saag freezes perfectly. Nothing artificial and made by us for you.
The real benefit of buying this dinner kit is for the traditional method instructions that come with it!
If you are a 1st or 2nd generation Punjabi who grew up eating this but don’t know how to make it, and don’t have family nearby, then this is for you!
This is also excellent for having ‘real’ bread for gluten-free people who can prepare and eat a delicious meal with the whole family.
Making Makki di roti, (corn chapatti), is not easy, but if you can give it a go with this kit, then we suggest further purchases should be for the individual Saag sachet bundles, and buy a large bag of Makki flour (fine cornmeal) from Asian supermarkets.
