This is a very useful thing to have in your fridge, it's great for tossing some warm new potatoes in, add it to a splash of vinegar to make a salad dressing

1 tsp Kerelan Spice Mix

100ml extra virgin olive oil

1 stalk lemongrass, bruised, finely chopped

2 lime leaves, chopped

10 curry leaves, chopped

1/2 lime, juice and zest

pinch sea salt

• Toast the spice mix powder in a small dry frying pan over a very low heat for five minutes, shaking the pan from time to time. Add the oil, and continue to warm very very slowly for another 2 minutes; ideally it should get no warmer than blood temperature. Then add the lemongrass, lime leaves, curry leaves and lime zest. Take off the heat and leave to infuse for at least two hours in a warm place, then strain through a fine sieve or muslin cloth into a small bowl. Add the salt and lime juice, taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary, then cover and set aside
