Dried garlic slices from Malwatte, packed in a flat printed sachet that holds 40g. Garlic cloves are cut into thin slices and dried, so they keep in the cupboard and can go straight into the pan.
The slices soften in sauces and curries, or turn golden and crisp when fried briefly in oil. Malwatte Valley Plantations PLC has exported since 1992 and processes and packs its spices in its own factories, which hold ISO 22000 certification.
In the pack
- 40g of dried garlic slices
- Flat printed sachet with a grey and orange label
The grey label prints the name in English, Sinhala and Tamil, the words "All Natural", the net weight and a reminder to use the contents within 60 days of opening.
In the kitchen
- Add to curries, stews and soups as they cook
- Fry briefly in oil until golden for a crisp topping
- Use in stir fries, fried rice and noodles
- Soak in a little warm water to soften before use in dressings
Storage
Keep the sachet tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. The label asks you to use the contents within 60 days of opening; tipping them into an airtight jar after opening helps.
