    Beautiful dish. each curry paste I try is amazing. again, this is a big hit for all the family as not too spicy with the medium or mild curry paste.

    What a revelation – I followed your Butter Chicken recipe as per the website, and it turned out delicious. I doubled everything up as I was cooking with 2KG of chicken.
    I will certainly be ordering more supplies.
    So glad – I found you guys. It certainly makes cooking more of a joy and less time consuming, as there is minimum prep, without sacrificing a taste
