Sarina’s Sweet Potato Pakoras

Seasonal eating is something we are passionate about at Origins Market to ensure we are reducing food miles, employing sustainable farming practices and eating the most nutrient dense food we can source.

Origins Ambassador, Sarina Kamini has created a range of masala blends to balance mind and body, bringing each back into harmony with the other. Her Turmeric Masala brings the essential bitter element to cooking, helping to induce satiety, improve gut health, stimulate the digestive system and help in the absorption of other foods.

Her Sweet Potato Pakoras are perfect to make, utilising fresh and in season vegetables and the deeply restorative power of Turmeric.
