I ordered these and received them within two days. They look and smell amazing and they taste incredible. I love the recipe cards too, a great addition.
First time I've ordered, easy to use website, quick delivery. Items came in a well packed box and tins of spices look great. Loved the recipe card with each of the 5 tins purchased. I bought this as a gift and am sure the recipient will absolutely love it. Would be happy to reorder in future.
I gave a gift of spices to my daughter's partner for his birthday. They both say they are the next best thing to a carry out curry and that is very high praise here. They followed the recipe cards and were amazed at how good everything was, compared to their usual home made efforts. I need to try it now!

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.
