Stir through 2 cups of veggies, cook until warm, then plate with steamed rice or flatbread.
Three Must-Try Flavours
-
Sri Lankan Curry Simmer Sauce – Rich coconut base with onions, butter, and a vibrant spice blend inspired by Sri Lanka. Try it with fish or prawns, and finish with fresh lime and coriander for a lighter, zesty twist.
-
Indian Butter Chicken Simmer Sauce – A creamy, buttery tomato sauce made with authentic Indian spices and fresh cream. Serve with naan, minted yoghurt, or mango chutney.
-
Thai Green Curry Simmer Sauce – Fragrant, zesty, and full of coconut goodness. Garnish with fresh herbs or add a splash of coconut cream to mellow the heat.
