Daqoos is the bright, garlicky, tomato-and-chilli sauce that turns a good plate of rice into a great one. But it is far more versatile than a side dish. Here are five easy ways to use it:

Spoon it over grilled fish or chicken for an instant flavour lift.

Stir it into rice or biryani just before serving.

Use it as a dip for samboosa, bread, or fries.

Mix a spoonful into soups and stews for warmth and depth.

Brush it onto kebabs in the last minutes on the grill.

A little goes a long way, so start small and add to taste. Grab a jar of Aldar Daqoos and give one of these a try tonight.
