Rose Petal Masala

Rose Petal Masala is a wonderfully sweet Indian spice blend that contains toasted coconut, rose petals and cinnamon, with earthy additions of cardamom, cumin and cloves. This romantic blend is perfect to add to milder, sweeter curries.

The use of rose petals in Indian cuisine dates back thousands of years. Roses are believed to have been cultivated in the Indian subcontinent for over 5,000 years and they are prized for their unique combination of flavour and fragrance. They have a sweet and floral taste that adds depth and complexity to many Indian dishes.

The addition of rose petals in this Indian spice mix adds a wonderful decadence to its dishes. It is historically believed that similar blends fed kings and emperors throughout India. Moghuls liberally used Rose Petal Masala to coat rich and heavy cuts of meat like lamb, with yoghurt or cream.

Use as you would Garam Masala as a seasoning at the end of cooking or as a base for flavour. Alternatively, Rose Petal Masala is great to add a twist to traditional Chicken Korma.
