What our customers are saying
from 1247 reviewsI have made two of the recipe’s with these spices, my wife’s word that’s the best thing you have ever cooked, they have took my curries to another level, better than any takeaway, the presentation the packaging and the recipe cards all amazing, top quality 10 out of 10 from me
I am delighted with your product. Already I have used the spices with recipes provided and the result was authentic curries. I would recommend your spices
But these won’t regret. Loved the chicken and the lamb curry. Can’t wait to try the others .
I absolutely love these products. Fabulous authentic curry. Family and friends love them too.
Received my 8 pack of spices last week and have made 3 of the curries so far. The recipe cards are really easy to follow and the results are fantastic, authentic flavours and really easy to make. Thank you so much!!!
I’m extremely happy and will definitely be ordering again
I purchased the meat feast pack and can honestly say the seasonings and packaging are perfect. We have made 3 beautiful curries and can not wait to make more! The delivery was super quick and items were packaged brilliantly. Will definitely be repurchasing! Thank you
I love these blends but find all of them very very expensive unless one would buy them at a discounted price.
I've not yet cooked the Shahi chicken masala blend, but it looks and smells amazing,I have used the garam masala to finish off the lamb Rogan Josh I made which tasted absolutely gorgeous,I'm looking forward to making another curry.These are the best spice's I've tried and I've tried lots including bringing them back from Morocco, you will not be disappointed,I will definitely be purchasing more!
Tried the Rogan Josh and it was very tasty
Wonderful aromas, love the product, will order for a gourmet friend for xmas
Perfect blend of spices and great recipe cards lead to excellent curries. Thank you!
Order arrived, quickly well packaged.
The addition of the recipe cards to match the spice blends is a great idea, I have tried a couple and they were delicious the spices are really fresh and vibrant.
I will definitely order again
Well packaged, arrived safely. Great presentation and the contents of the tins matched and didn’t disappoint. Will definitely be putting in a second order.
Ordered my 3rd batch today magnificent! 🥰 💕
We got the 6 pack hoping we’d like if not all then most of them. Well all I can say is WOW! Every one was delicious & so easy to make. You can stick to the recipes or add your own spin but either way they make the most tender, delicious meals I’ve had in a long time 😋.
I purchased a gift set which came in a nice box. The recipient was pleased with the gift.
I had previously purchased some Mrs. Balboa Singh spices for my personal use and found them to be the best I have tried. The grind is slightly more coarse than the usual ones you find in supermarkets. The flavours are really good; flavour but not too much heat, so you can taste the food.
I recommend these, and think they are worth the extra.
This is by far the best spice/menu combination with the nicest packaging to boot. The menu cards make you into a master chef and you can simply scale back the amounts if you would prefer less of a kick. All in all they make a fantastic present for lovers of high quality Indian cuisine.
Received my spices this afternoon and wasted no time in making a curry.
I made the most amazing Shahi Chicken Masala as near to chicken korma and best tasting creamy korma from your recipe card 226.
Thank you.
I'm half way through my first order and the only thing I can say is "outstanding" the best Indian spices I have ever used !
I like the variety. Easy to follow recipes.
I bought the meat 6 pack and I’ve cooked all the dishes , there’s not a bad one amongst them and can honestly say it’s the best homemade curries I’ve ever made !
Fabulous spices and the recipe cards just make things even easier. Highly recommend!
Delighted with my pack of six tins of spices. Only used the Shahi Chicken Masala and Original Garam Masaka yet and was very impressed as they are not hot spices but lovely flavours with a slight kick. Looking forward to trying the Kashmiri Rogan Josh with Lamb.
Bought this for my sister as I’m so hooked on these spices. She loved them as much as I do, as did her husband who isn’t usually too enthusiastic about curry. Will continue to recommend to friends and family
joy to recieve this lovely set... cannot wait to cook the lamb!
fresh and vibrate spice blends
We've only tried one of the mixes that we ordered so far but after that, I am so excited to try the others, really can't wait! We make curry a lot and the recipe wasn't far off what we'd usually make but it was very obvious that the spice mix made all the difference. Absolutely beautiful! Was holding off ordering the tandoori mix until we'd tried at least one of the ones we'd ordered but will definitely be doing that now!!! Thank you :-)
I made the Keema and it was amazing. Looking forward to try the other pots I bought. Brilliant mix of ingredients, easy to order and quick delivery. Very happy.
Bought these as gifts and was well pleased with prompt delivery time, plus the goods arrived in great condition
Love love love these spice mixes and recipes. I am cooking quality curries, They are delicious, they look brilliant and they taste amazing. Better than takeaway by far. I am transformed from bungling curry maker to magnificent curry cook - it’s magic in those little black shakers - not just spices, it really is magic!!!!
The rogan josh really was out of this world
Have tried a few dishes with the spices. Turned out wonderfully well. Have ordered more.
Received my order promptly. Looking forward to trying out! Like the way product is presented. Demonstrates a premium product
I have been cooking curries fro the last 35 years, I can make my own masala from scratch without a recipe and I am always complimented how good it is.
I bought the 6-PACK: Ultimate North Indian Curry Collection as a treat, they just looked appealing and teh marketing was good. Now started to cook with the spices and just made a huge difference to my curries. The packaging is very well presented. The recipe cards are great and well written.
One that a will keep buying and definitely recommend. Now where is that pan :)
I usually do my own spice mixes, toasted and ground however I decided to give these a try for a change. I’m really pleased with them, I love the garam masala. I have used them in my own recipes and they have been delicious. Beautifully presented too. I would definitely recommend them and will buy again.

SHAHI CHICKEN MASALA
According to food historians around the world, Mrs Balbir Singh’s Shahi Chicken Masala is the dish that the world famous Chicken Tikka Masala originates from. It’s a little more creamy and indulgent, with subtle layers and a real depth of flavour. This should be no surprise as it’s roots lie in the royal kitchens of the Mogul Emperors. A unique, slightly decadent and moreish curry.
AMRITSARI CHANA MASALA
Also known as chole masala, this is one of Punjab’s true soul foods. There are of course many versions of chickpea curries across India, but this sumptuous version hails from the city of Amritsar, home to the beautiful Golden Temple. It is a signature dish of the region which is commonly served with the fluffy deep-fried leavened bread, Bhatura. This was a regular on the Sunday lunch menu at Mrs Balbir Singh’s home.
KASHMIRI ROGAN JOSH
This aromatic lamb curry is a signature dish of Kashmiri cuisine, and is one of the main dishes in the famous multi-course meal, wazwan. Kashmir is a place where one sees nature at its height, a soul-stirring spectacle which will linger in one’s mind forever. The cuisine is a magnificent blending of the culinary arts of the Moghuls and the Kashmiris.
