About this product
Sambar is the hardest ready to eat product to get right, because everyone who buys it already knows exactly what it should taste like. There is no room to be approximately correct.
The tamarind to dal balance has to survive sterilisation, and the vegetables have to hold their shape at 121°C rather than dissolving into the gravy. We formulate for what the product tastes like after the retort, not before it, which is a different recipe from the one you would cook at home.
Twelve months at ambient, no refrigeration anywhere in the chain, no preservatives on the label. Available under your brand from 2,000 pouches.
Where it is used
Shelf stable ready to eat meals in retort pouches and trays, sterilised to commercial sterility with no preservatives and no cold chain.
