Then comes the best part — the faces around the table, the second helpings, the repeated requests… and the confidence to know you can easily make this at the drop of a hat. Or, like many of our customers do, batch cook or meal prep on a weekend for weeks' worth of memorable curry nights.
The recipes that started it all
The methods that made Mrs Balbir Singh the Godmother of Indian Cookery — first in her 1961 Indian Cookery, now on a recipe card that comes with every tin, so it comes out right the very first time.
What the experts say about our heritage
Named critics, chefs and authorities on Mrs Balbir Singh and her landmark cookbook — the heritage every blend is built on.

Mrs Balbir Singh is the Julia Child, Mrs Beeton or Martha Stewart of India. To us chefs, she is the big bang moment of modern-day Indian home cookery.
Food writer, broadcaster & Food Network judge
The only book that could produce food that tasted like real North Indian… a book that Indians would want to cook from, as all the flavours were true and recognizable.

It's like having a seat at her famous cooking classes — her exact method, guiding every dish.
One flat note — or the whole symphony?
The takeaway, jar and microwave meal hit the same flat note — chilli, tomato or cream. Real Indian food is highly nuanced, needing a specific blend and method for every dish.
One flat note
Muddy shades of reddish beige — one base gravy, every dish.
A true symphony of flavours
Cooking with spices — vibrant, layered and magically alchemic.

I made the butter chicken yet again so so easy anyone can do it with ease , if anyone wants restaurant quality at well below takeaway prices look no further 10/10
K
First time making these, used chicken mince to keep the calories low (125 calories for two small kebabs).
Recipe made 13 small kebabs weighing 55-60 grams raw weight
I used a flatbread, reduced fat garlic and herb dip and mango chutney to flavour the salad (using up items near their use by date to avoid waste)
I cooked kebabs in air fryer for 12 minutes (probably a little bit over cooked but I have a thing about under cooked meat)
Made a very tasty lunch
D
Before Covid I used to use curry frenzy until they went out of business, haven’t been able to find anything similar until now, these curry’s really are top drawer, and I would even say restaurant grade, the butter chicken is dynamite
C
I am unable to comment about the authenticity of the flavours but they make wonderful curries. As a now retired ex-chef and plant based I use these spice mixes to create simple but very popular.
One of my ‘things’ is to give my friends and neighbours examples of my dishes and I now have them queuing out the door.
Really simple but complex flavour are so easy. Thank you
J
Bought this on the recommendation of a friend. In the past all my efforts to cook a curry have been a disaster. Tonight I did the butter chicken recipe and my husband applauded me ,it was delicious.Can’t wait now to try the others.
I
I have just finished smoking my butter chicken, I added a little less spice and more cream still restaurant quality without a doubt.I would recommend these spices to anyone, so simple to make 10/10.
L
Fantastic collection of spices, the biryani is exceptional and the palek dal is delicious, looking forward to making all the other curries. The recipe cards are brilliant
D
Have had some fantastic Aktar @ home deliveries so have a great benchmark for what good should taste like and I have to say these have been brilliant so far.
I’ve made a lam rogan josh, butter chicken and a daal, all fabulous. I’ve been doubling up to batch cook and put individual portions in the freezer ready to go and they are still delicious and if not more tasty after freezing.
Had a niggle with the pot lids, quite hard to measure so pinged a dm to Mrs S and got a speedy response with tips.
Very happy so far, keema and vindaloo are next on my list and I can’t wait to try. Would recommend and also will buy again.
Photos a little interpretation on the daal (we liked a bit of texture). I love the recipe cards, 1st attempt I’m following, subsequent I may reduce some things like cream for yoghurt.
L
Really tasty and authentic spices and recipes. It's given me a new lease of life cooking curry regularly.
K
Very happy so far, tried 2 of the recipes, good service, nicely packaged easy to follow recipes.
B
Order the 9 pack after watching videos & reviews. Tried the Delhi butter chicken recipe, Wow! The instruction cards are so easy to follow and honestly it was the best curry iv ever made. Since had the butter chicken again & the Lamb rogan josh. Delicious everytime. Iv got 6 more to try & can't wait.
L
These spices.. WOW!
I made the Goan Vindaloo, it has to be the freshest, tastiest curry dish I’ve ever eaten. Full of flavour, and so easy!
Can’t wait to try the rest of them 👌🏽
B
Really simply amazing 🤩,the best Indian Masalas I’ve ever bought . The recipe cards are fantastic and so easy to follow ,my husband and friends said the curries were tastier than any restaurant ! Can’t wait to reorder ! A must buy for anyone who loves Curries 😀🙏
A
Absolutely loved our 1st home made Indian
M
Received the spices, all well packed and they do smell amazing. Made the butter chicken following the recipe card. Absolutely amazing. It is very rich probably cause of the double cream but could easily have had another helping straight away. Will be buying more in the future, still have loads to make out of the 9 pack I bought.
W
Tried 3 of the recipe cards (Goan Vindaloo, Old Delhi Butter Chicken and Shahi Chicken Masala) so far and all 3 have been exceptional. I made the Butter Chicken for friends one night and they all refused to believe it was made from scratch at home, trust me it's that good.
A
I’ve cooked everyone of the recipes and they are easy to follow and fabulous.
E
My second purchase. Absolutely the best spice mixes I’ve bought. And no more having to roast and grind my own. Recipe cards are a bonus, But I’ve only tried two. I like to experiment with my own ideas, and have not been disappointed yet. The storage containers are very functional so smart that I keep them on display.
C
Amazing I cooked for several friends they were blown away by the taste. I used your recipe cards so so simple to use. I used paneer in the deli butter wow. Thankyou
S
This is my 2nd purchase and went for the 6 pack, as I have fallen in love with cooking again as with these I get that fantastic authentic taste but with such ease. Will be buying more and trying new recipes
C
So far I have made Amritsari Chana Masala and Kashmiri Rogan Josh, both tastes amazing and simple step by step instructions made them so easy to make. Thank you
