What our customers are saying
from 1620 reviewsThe first recipe I tried was the Amritsari Chhole. It was so easy to follow the directions and the aroma, taste took me back to the India of my childhood and lessons with Mrs. Balbir Singh! The packaging is lovely and the recipe cards are great.
Well impressed with these spices makes lovely curry recipe cards really easy to follow will be purchasing again 😁
We just love curries in our household. We all love to cook, we have a big spice selection and create our own blends. I ordered the 8 pack of Master Curry and Tandoori collection after my husband say it advertised on Facebook. The collection is beautifully packaged and most importantly the spice blends are delicious. The recipe cards are great for ideas of how to use them with different protiens and veggies and more are available on the website. I followed to the letter the recipes the first time I used the blends and the lamb rogan josh was totally stunning as was the dal palak. I made a double quantity and they were both even better the following day, as is often the way with curry. The blends are so easy and quick to use too.
I ordered from the website not from the Facebook link and I was really disappointed to find out later that I had missed out on the 25% off my first order deal as the order was over £44.00. I have since received an email offering me 30% off my next order though if I use the link they sent to me to refer a friend, so all is not lost! The delivery was quick and customer service has been great with follow up emails updating me on my delivery and asking for feedback etc. I would definitely recommend and I am looking forward to trying some of the other blends.
My late Mother was taught by Mrs Balbir Singh around 60 years ago. I was given her recipe book in my wedding trousseau 30 years ago which I still cherish. The old Delhi Butter Chicken spice has brought back memories of times when we visited Moti Mahal at Daryaganj. The taste is so authentic, my London home was filled with the same aroma. The only thing missing was my Mother. Thank You for bringing alive those precious moments.
I purchased the six-pack and have just started using them. Very tasty. Some recipes need quite a lot of spice (as per the recipe cards) - so it won’t be long before I will be ordering more.
I bought these as I love Indian cooking but am often short on time. The spices arrived promptly, are well presented and based on a couple of tries are authentic and delicious.
My order arrived in quick time . Beautifully packaged .
I’m sure they will be delicious but haven’t tried them because they are a present .
I shall be ordering for myself however . Very pleased .!
Just wonderful. The recipes, the flavours. It won’t be long before I get some more!
Thoroughly enjoyed the Old Delhi Butter chicken. Will definitely be re ordering.
Absolutely amazing these are the best curries I've made and great that all the spices are all in one pot. Will certainly buy again.
Wonderful authentic flavours.

These are really great spices and the recipes are easy to follow. I am now back in the kitchen!
Simmer organic chick peas from Valencia with Mrs Balbir Singhs Magic mix for a curry to remember!

Very easy recipes and excellent results!!

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.
