Mr Huda’s Surma Secrets range of fresh herb and spice mixes has received national recognition in a prestigious awards scheme.

The company’s Mint & Tamarind Paste won the best Ethnic Foods category in this year’s ‘Ideas to Dine For’ awards, announced at The Food & Drink Expo held at the NEC Birmingham earlier this month.

A panel of 12 judges comprising celebrity chef Silvena Rowe, food buyers and journalists, voted Mr Huda’s the best tasting product entered into the awards, describing it as the ‘closest you will get to fresh tamarind.’

The award was collected by Mr Huda’s managing director Mafazul Huda, who is delighted to receive national recognition for his product. “The recipe has been used by our chefs at our restaurant for many years and is very popular,” he said. “We have worked very hard to capture the authentic flavour and present it to consumers in an easy to use, convenient way. We’re very pleased to have won this award. It is a great feeling to know that something you have worked hard to produce is appreciated.”

Mr Huda’s Mint & Tamarind paste is the most recent addition to the range of eight fresh herb and spice mixes. The sweet, tangy dip is the ideal companion for Tikka, Tandoori, Kebabs, Onion Bajee’s and Pakora dishes.

Mr Huda launched his range of ‘complete fresh herb and spice mixes’ in November 2006, following years of development and experience gained in his North Lincolnshire restaurant where the range was inspired.

Mr Huda’s Surma Secrets range is currently stocked by over 40 independent retailers and selected ASDA stores. As well as the Mint & Tamarind paste, the range includes Tikka, Kebab, Onion Bajee, Tandoori, Universal Curry, Tikka Masala and Balti pastes.
