🍳 Cooking Overview

• This spice mix is used to prepare Achari curry sauce, which can then be cooked into multiple dishes using different proteins or vegetables.
  
• We recommend preparing the entire sauce batch at once using the full pouch.
  
• Any excess sauce can be portioned into containers and frozen for future use.
