Mannaka Raisins also called Pearls of Samarkand, are very rare grapes that have been grown for thousands of years on the Pamir mountain slopes in Tajikistan. The grapes are slowly sun-dried and retain their brown colour and sweet flavour. they have a similar flavour to dates. The small seeds within the raisins are nice and crunchy, with plenty of antioxidants and beneficial oils.
Rajah was founded back in 1931 when a former Indian army officer yearned for home cooked food in London and realised there was a market for this. He opened up a small shop called Bombay Emporium and began importing high quality spices from India to London. Initially, the store sold whole and ground Indian spices but as the UK Asian population grew and the nation’s appetite for Asian food expanded, other products were introduced such as seasonings, curry pastes, chutneys, pickles, and poppadums. Aptly named ‘Rajah’ spices, these palette-pleasing masalas began to rule South Asian kitchens and hearts in the UK from that moment on.
