Tamarind & Parmesan Cheese Twists

Tamarind & Parmesan Cheese Twists
Like many of the best Indian restaurants, we love to show how the real flavours of India can be used to add a little twist to everyday favourites. The tangy flavour of tamarind, with jaggery, ginger, chilli and aromatic spices in our chutney, combine with the rich and creamy Parmesan and Cheddar cheeses for a delicious snack that looks just as good on a buffet table as it does with your everyday lunch.

How we serve ours

These cheese twists are so versatile – they’re delicious munched just on their own, but you can dip them into a warming tomato soup, hummus or guacamole dip or enjoy with a salad platter.
