I have purchased this particular product for 5 years now. I first brought “Hot Chilli Oil,” in a little place called Pahiatua and immediately fell in love with the spice and the peanuts that sit at the bottom of the jar.
Totally love the taste of this product in a chicken or Susages curry.

Great products with a fabulously caring service.

Simply the best Garam Masala I've ever used! I'm finally comfortable making Indian inspired dishes because Banu makes it so easy. Highly recommended. There's no comparison to store bought (or even other NZ chefs selling their own range - I've tried and keep coming back to Banu).

First stumbled upon it at the Kumeu market, and can't go without it. It is savoury and salty and spicy, absolutely delicious. I ate it every day for 3 months straight when I first discovered it. Now I buy it for gifts as well and everyone I share it with loves it too. Highly recommend, you wont regret it.

Had such a great evening at the cooking class learning about spices and anuthentic Indian dishes. We will definitely be recreating the meals at home!

I thoroughly enjoyed Banu's cooking class! She was a lovely and entertaining teacher and the evening was a great experience. The food was delicious and the techniques Banu taught were practical and easy to follow - I have already implemented some in my own cooking.

She also has a great selection of homemade products available that we used in the cooking, were able to taste and then purchase afterwards if we wanted.

A friend put me onto Banu’s as they knew I was a chilli oil lover. And I’ve never bought another brand since!

The past few Christmas’ I’ve gifted to friends too and everyone wants more!

Recommend A+++! (Plus the Banus whānau are gorgeous and wonderful!)

This chilli oil is so full of flavour and goes with everything! It’s a staple in our house. It’s also a great gift for foodies or people who like a little bit of spice. Love it!

Banus Hot Chili Oil is an absolute flavor bomb. It delivers the perfect balance of deep roasted chili aroma, crunchy bits, and a smooth, addictive heat that elevates every dish it touches, Banus Hot Chilli Oil turns simple food into something unforgettable.

I attended one of Banu's cooking classes with my daughter. We had a great, interactive time, lots of fun.
Lots of culture too and it was a privilege to be invited into Banu's home, share some Indian culture, and Banu's story.
Some great recipes. Would recommend.

And so EASY! Will definitely buy again when it’s back in stock. Another stunning product from Banu and wonderful personal service. Made with love.

I went in with no idea what to expect and walked out genuinely blown away. The whole experience was immersive, insightful, and surprisingly hands-on. Being welcomed into Banu’s home, hearing her stories, and learning her recipes and techniques made the night feel personal and memorable. I’ve already used several of the techniques with great results. It’s a standout way to spend an evening and an incredible gift experience to share with someone you care about.

I have found the Banu curry range make the best curries, similar to those I've had in India. I highly recommend these sauces and other Banu products

Love love love this spice mix! Adds a little magic to anything I pair it with. Must have for your spice collection

This mix is so delicious, absolutely divine!
