Spice it up! Mango’s secret blend.

Linda and Sathya, the heart and soul of Mango Gstaad, have created their own secret blend of spices in order to simplify and make it as easy as possible for you to recreate this all-time favourite, Chicken Tikka Masala. Although the origins of this dish are still debated upon, it is said to have been created in the northern part of India, the Punjabi region. By developing this specific blend of spices, Sathya wanted to give it a slight southern touch in honour of his home. So, from his home to yours, take a little taste of India away with you……

From a passion for all things healthy, this recipe allows you to be as creative as you wish. Normally this dish is served with either basmati rice or naan bread, what about some cauliflower rice instead?

This is but one of many authentic dishes served at Mango Gstaad or at the fine dining Mango at the renowned Ermitage Hotel in Schönried.
