Indian Spice Recipe

Tandoori Tantra Kofta with Cachumba

Recipe Background

From the Punjab region in Northern India, this recipe is a certified classic. Our Tandoori Tantra spice blend is surprisingly mild, but full to the brim with slow dancing flavour. The combination of lamb and beef make for a beautiful balance and the griddle finish seals in all the juices for a toasty, slightly crispy kofta.

Serve with a simple crunchy, fresh salad and enjoy with the sweetness of a mango chutney and yoghurt. Pair with a nutty brown ale.
