Bangalore chickpea and spinach curry served in a rustic ceramic bowl with fluffy basmati rice, naan bread, raita and fresh coriander on a wooden table.
🔥 Bangalore Coconut Dal
This rich and creamy Bangalore Coconut Dal is perfect for anyone who loves bold South Indian flavours. Made with our handcrafted Bangalore Curry Blend, it balances vibrant heat, deep aroma and silky coconut cream — naturally plant-based, simple to make, and ideal for weeknights, meal prep or cosy evenings.
