The highlight of anyone's Eid meal may be biryani, but there's no denying the comforting scent of Chittagong's signature dish — mejbani beef curry — simmering away in the background. With Radhuni Ready Mix Mejbani Beef Curry Masala, you will not have to go on a wild goose chase for spices to achieve that original taste.

Heat mustard oil and sauté onions until golden. Toss in Radhuni Ready Mix Mejbani Beef Curry Masala, beef chunks, turmeric, and salt. Stir well. Add enough water to cover the meat and let it slow-cook for 2-3 hours. Serve with plain rice and a wedge of lemon.
KALA BHUNA
A dish so legendary that every Bangladeshi festival menu fights for a spot and Radhuni Ready Mix Kala Bhuna Masala makes recreating this classic at home a breeze. With its rich, dark gravy, and deeply caramelised beef, kala bhuna is a slow-cooked masterpiece that pairs beautifully with paratha, naan, or plain rice.
