This little miracle is perfect for grinding nutmeg fresh from the ‘nut’, and also great for the same purpose when it comes to dried turmeric or ginger root. A genuine kitchen essential!

Nasi Kuning (Yellow Coconut Rice)
This lovely Indonesian style seasoning is a traditional rice dish cooked with coconut and turmeric hence the name Nasi Kuning- simply meaning ‘yellow rice’. In Indonesia the rice is usually served in the shape of a cone and eaten at special events. The yellow golden rice, which looks like a pile of gold, is served on special occasions as a sign of good fortune and wealth. It is served with a variety of side dishes like fried chicken, potatoes, shredded omelette and relishes.
I find that the yellow rice compliments any curries, stir fries or salads.
You can either add a tablespoon of the spice to 1 cup of rice during the cooking process or simply stir it into the cooked rice. You can also add 1/4 cup of coconut milk to the rice for a more velvety texture.
The smell and flavour of jasmine rice best suits this dish.
Bombay Potato
While it is designed to make the popular restaurant side dish Bombay Potato, this blend is incredibly versatile when you are looking for a mild, colourful and aromatic curry using pretty much anything as a base, but particularly vegetables. The blend is built upon mustard seeds and turmeric, both of which give an earthy and deep flavour, alongside aromatics such as curry leaves, ajowan and nigella seeds. There is a touch of chilli involved, but only for balance, not heat. So it is perfect for those quickly cooked curries such as Aloo Gobi or a Vegetable Bhaji. Adding fresh coriander to your dish will bring the flavour of the blend out even more, and if you need more heat, it matches well with fresh chilli, particularly the green finger chillies popular in Indian food. Away from the curry department it is fantastic used to perk up a lentil soup, or to give an exotic note to mashed potatoes or indeed a potato salad. One of our go-to blends when we need that curry colour and aroma but not the heat.
