DHAL OF THE DAY V / GF
Dhals are becoming ever more popular with every market segment. Furthermore, the emerging vegan / gluten free space is growing steadily & creates new opportunities & challenges for food operators across NZ. A growing customer base is requiring these options and it is great to capitalise on this trend.
Dhals are lentils (& dried beans) that are cooked with aromatic Indian spices to create a wonderfully versatile & flavourful dish that can be accompanied with breads & a variety of grains.
For centuries, dhals have been an essential part of India’s rich culinary tradition, served at just about every meal. They are yum, nourishing, healthy & protein-rich. The variation in regional dhal dishes is vast and you can make a different dhal each day.
Most importantly, you can now cook authentic dhals in a slow or pressure cooker with Masala King’s range of dhal products – easy peasy!

… These Masalas are really nice – not time consuming. If you want to make them from scratch, it will take about two to three hours but it’s quick and easy… I want to recommend this Masala to all chefs …

… When he gave me a taste of what he was doing, I thought yeah, that’s a real curry. They are very helpful, they’ve got recipes – these products are more cost effective than the others I have used, and the flavours actually are very authentic …

… Nice & simple aye, don’t have to anything to that – We have people who are of the older generation – sort of 40s upwards – so the food obviously has to be mild but full of flavour – they really like the product …
