Freeze Dried Masala Karela 40g

Masala Karela is a fully cooked, freeze-dried bitter gourd sabji with tomato, Indian spices and ghee. Each 40g packet serves one person; add 100ml of boiling water and rest for 5–8 minutes to enjoy approximately 140g of prepared sabji.

Bitter gourd's distinctive flavour meets the warmth of cumin, coriander, turmeric and red chilli in a familiar Indian vegetable dish. Light seasoning allows you to adjust salt and spices to your own ghar ka taste. Keep a packet handy for a workday lunch, travel or a simple meal at home.
