Basa Masala
with Basmati Rice and Peas
Masala curries are versatile tomato-based dishes that work with a variety of proteins and vegetables. Here, we're using basa, a white fish perfect for soaking up the delicious flavour of the masala curry sauce.
Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.
