Warm Roasted Veggie & Spelt Salad With Chettinad Masala

I can’t get enough roasted veggie salads, drizzled with EVOO, then sprinkled with a fabulous spice blend and roasted in the oven until all caramelised.

Ever tried Chettinad masala spice?  I hadn’t either until just recently…. a serious game changer!  A flavour bursting blend of coriander, chilli, cumin, fennel, cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper cloves, star anise and kapok buds. Trust me… it will become a new staple in your larder once you try and is so versatile, it goes beautifully with all meats, fish and veggies!
