What Is Cheese Seasoning Powder and How Do You Use It?

Cheese seasoning powder is a dry, ready to use powder that you shake onto food for instant cheesy flavour. People also call it cheese powder or cheese sprinkle. It is what gives cinema popcorn, cheesy fries and flavoured chips their taste.

Grella makes cheese seasoning powder in India in seven flavours. Every flavour is made with no MSG and no palm oil, is gluten free, and comes in a 125 g dual flip top bottle.

• Pasta and Maggi: stir it in just before serving.
• Makhana and nuts: roast in a little ghee, then toss with the powder.
