When I moved back to New Zealand in 2019, I made new friends but was still having the same old conversations.
"Oh you're from Mumbai? I love having curry," they'd say.
or, "I love Dahl but sadly I can never get it right,"
or, "I bought curry powder at the Indian shop but my curry didn't taste anything like the one I usually order. Not quite sure what to do with it now, aye."
It clicked that if I wanted my friends and those around me to experience the true taste of India, I had to do more than talk about it. I had to bring those flavours into their kitchen and show them how truly versatile they could be!
I wanted to show my fellow Kiwis that Indian spices can be used to make just about anything, from dahl to roast to pasta and everything in between. Because, let's face it, cooking for the family every day of every week is incredible tedious and we could all do with a shortcut.
My grandmother, Dolly, taught me that good cooking is about flavour. “It doesn’t matter if your curry is not like mine, what matters is the love. Make sure they can taste the love and they will love the taste," she would say.
Our range of ready-to-cook products are made with generous helpings of authentic flavours and love. We show you how to experiment with Indian flavours, yet cook a great meal in under 30 minutes! Use Dolly Mumma pastes to make a lip-smacking curry or a juicy roast chicken. Make dahl in a jiffy, stir up a yogurt raita or whip up some masala mayonnaise.
Love Indian flavours? You'll love Dolly Mumma.
