Meat Masala : VVS Products

Using Jaffna Meat Masala in your dishes is a great way to introduce a burst of authentic Sri Lankan flavors. Here’s a step-by-step guide to incorporate this aromatic blend into your meat preparations:

1. Marination:
   • Take your choice of meat (chicken, beef, mutton, or pork).
   • In a bowl, mix the meat with 1-2 tablespoons of Jaffna Meat Masala, a dash of salt, a splash of vinegar or yogurt, and let it marinate for at least 2 hours. Overnight marination in the refrigerator yields even better results.
2. Cooking:
   • Heat oil or ghee in a pot or pan.
   • Add chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent.
   • Introduce ginger and garlic paste and fry for a minute until fragrant.
   • Add in the marinated meat and brown it on all sides.
   • Pour in chopped tomatoes or tomato puree and some water, depending on the desired consistency of your gravy.
   • Let the meat simmer on low heat until it’s tender and cooked through. Add more Jaffna Meat Masala if needed.
3. Garnishing:
   • Once the meat is cooked, sprinkle some fresh coriander or curry leaves on top for added flavor and aroma.
   • Serve with rice, bread, or rotis.
4. Adjusting to Taste:
   • Depending on your heat preference, you can reduce or increase the quantity of Jaffna Meat Masala.
   • If the spice level is too high, add a splash of coconut milk to balance out the flavors and give a creamy texture.
5. Other Uses:
   • Jaffna Meat Masala isn’t restricted to just meat! Use it for flavoring vegetable curries, lentil dishes, or even sprinkle some on roasted nuts or popcorn for an aromatic twist.
   • It can also be added to marinades for grilled meats or kebabs.
6. Storage:
   • Keep the Jaffna Meat Masala in an airtight container to maintain its freshness. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
