Dee Naidoo This is the best masala available anywhere and makes a truly delicious Durban curry every single time. We love the easy to follow recipe as well.
This is not a gentle curry. This is Durban curry. Brace yourself for a journey to the fiery, vibrant heart of South Africa’s east coast with a blend that is as bold and unapologetic as its heritage. This is the secret to a curry that doesn't just warm you; it ignites your soul.
Our authentic Durban Masala blend is a masterful symphony of heat, earth, and aroma, designed to create the signature deep crimson, oil-slicked gravy that makes this dish legendary. We start with a torrent of premium Kashmiri chilli for its stunning colour and a slow-building fire, then layer it upon a robust foundation of roasted coriander and earthy cumin. The magic comes from the supporting notes: a hint of sweet fennel, the savoury depth of fenugreek, and a golden touch of turmeric.
This is a potent, powerful blend. When bloomed in oil, it releases an intoxicating fragrance that promises an intensely flavourful experience. Whether you're simmering tender lamb until it falls off the bone, slow-cooking hearty beef, or creating a classic chicken curry, this spice is your key to achieving the authentic, rich, and deeply satisfying taste of a true Durban curry.
