Serve
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.

You're in legendary hands
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.

How your spice reaches you
Fresh-sealed at source on India's Spice Coast, through a direct-from-farmer supply chain. Fresher, top-grade spice means bolder aroma and deeper flavour on the plate — not the flat, faded taste of bulk pre-ground powders losing their potency over the years.

This was my first try from the classics gift box. The curry turned out amazing and better than anything I've had from a curry house.
M
My husband has taken up an interest in cooking recently so I bought him the gift set to support him! We tried the butter chicken. It was delicious. Can’t wait to try the rest. I also used the Garam masala for my aloo gobi which tasted better than ever. Thank you!
S
Seriously good!
C
Bought as a Christmas present. Delighted with the alway it looks. Also bought some spices fr myself. Haven’t sampled them all yet but the ones I’ve used are excellwnt
V
So far we have only had the butter chicken. We tried this first because of the excellent reviews although we don’t normally eat this. Wow, the taste is delicious and certainly match the quality of our local restaurant. Can’t wait to try the others. I feel we will now be a regular customer. Thank you. Easy to make no fuss. Nothing not to like.
A
I've now tried all 3 that arrived,Butter chicken,Rogan josh,and Goan Vindaloo.
The Butter Chicken is absolutely out of this world and would definitely order again. The Rogan josh and Goan Vindaloo are nowhere near of the same taste that I normally have. They weren't inedible far from it but no,I wouldn't order those 2 again. Others might well enjoy them,but not for me.👍
P
Thus was delivered very quickly and beautifully presented 👏🏻
I’m now feeling like I can cook better than I’ve ever done with these spices they are incredibly prepared roasted and delicious
I’m now glancing at other recipes and ingredients and then collecting Christmas gifts down the line 🤞
D
Everything advertised is true. Great product and easy to follow recipe. Turned out delicious 👍
V
Outstanding!
Exceeded expectations, wonderful in every aspect, have to order more as my husband and I want to try them all
Would 100% recommend beats the local takeaway by a country mile.
M
I am a recent convert to Mrs Balbir Singh. Everything I have tried so far has been a success. I am particularly fond of teh biriyani recipe and use it for batch cooking when I am on shift. It is one of those meals that improve with age. I thought I would give my sona gift box as an introduction.
C
Excellent spices and a very good company to buy from. Good service and speedy delivery. Xxx
E
Perfect gift for a curry lover. Packaged really nicely. Can’t wait to give it to him (and be cooked for) :-)
E
I am on my second order already after only 2 weeks! The recipes are easy to follow. A huge hit with my husband and teenage kids, as good as any restaurant we all said 😃
R
A wide range of curry recipies, all different but as good as any restaurant meal. The butter chicken is simply outstanding, my favourite and so easy to prepare and cook from a well laid out recipe card (as are all the meals on offer).So a great Christmas present fo arr curry lovers.

Very well presented. Packed in a lovely box, lovely tins which look very nice in my kitchen.
L
Amazing set of curries, fantastic flavour & packed with a punch! Will definitely be ordering again!
R
Another great selection of ready made curry spices, have only tried the Rogan Josh from this one, it didn't disappoint - so many flavours that linger long after you've eaten. The Garam Masala is the best I've tried ever, great for adding to soups and topping other curries.
M
I ordered the classic box. It was dispatched instantly and received two days later. It was well packaged and the box and instructions are amazing. I've not cooked anything yet but so far so good. Looking forward to truing them all but will start with the butter chicken. Excellent service.
S
Bought as a gift for a man who loves his cooking. He was extremely pleased with the idea and hopefully will become a member in the future.
P
Eco packaging, great taste ,simple step recipes .
