These spices come with a recipe card which is very easy to follow and are firm favourites. I was never really successful at making curries until I started using these spices, but this gives a lovely taste. I much prefer to make my own as I know exactly what's in them so I always have a batch in the freezer as when I make one for dinner I always make more than we need as there's only 2 of us. Once you've tried these you'll never use a take away again.
