The Satkora Special – Our Signature
The star of our collection is the Satkora Special. This traditional dish features the Satkora fruit, a wild citrus native to the Sylhet region of Bangladesh. It provides a slightly bitter, intensely aromatic tang that cuts through the rich, medium-spiced gravy, creating a flavour profile that is a standard high-street curry simply cannot match. Whether you prefer tender lamb or succulent chicken, the Satkora is the true taste of Sylhet.
o capture a truly premium masala, we focus on:
-
Hand-Blended Spices: We don’t use generic powders; our chefs toast and grind whole spices to release the essential oils that define our flavour.
-
Signature Textures: From the crisp, golden finish on our Onion Bhajis to the tender, slow-cooked lamb in our Lamb Masala, texture is as important as taste.
-
Vibrant Ingredients: We use fresh green chillies, ginger matchsticks, and generous amounts of fresh coriander to ensure every dish looks as vibrant as it tastes.
