Directions

Firstly, you will need to soak the rice for 30 minutes to an hour.
Next, heat the oil in a pan. Add onions and fry until golden brown. When the onions are golden brown, add 70ml water to release the colour and prevent the onions from burning.
Add the garam masala and salt.
Add 4 cups of water.
Turn the heat up and bring it back to the boil. Whilst this is boiling, drain the long grain rice, and add it into the pan. Add the lid, cook for 3-4minuets
Stir one more Time and check to see if there is any standing or bubbling water. When the standing water has gone, reduce the heat, add the lid on the pan and allow the cooked rice to steam cook for a final 5-10 minutes - just enough Time to whip together a curry using one of our Tarka bases!

Fabulous

Amazing curries. We enjoy them so much. Flavours are delicious and the service is excellent.
Delivery is quick.

A very tasty sauce

This was the first sauce from Aagrah and it was very tasty; we'll be ordering more - thanks you.

Haven't used them yet

Although I haven't used them yet they are a nice selection and what I can see look good in jars. I can't wait to use the sauces but autumn is the moth of plenty so have too much to eat already
I'm sure the curries will be worth waiting for

Great taste, but not enough

Great curry sauces but find that one jar does not give you enough sauce for 2 people even adding the water. Would be better if jars were a little larger so you did not have to open two.

Amazing batter

Batter mix is amazing I used it in onions and prawns was delicious highly reccomended this product
