An Indian Curry Christmas!
Christmas is all about tradition, right? But sometimes tradition can get a little bit dull so here at The Spicery we’ve carefully put together a much more exciting seasonal feast, containing all the usual elements of the traditional Christmas lunch but with an Indian overhaul. To begin, there’s a jazzed up prawn cocktail served with poppadoms and a marie rose raita. Next on the menu is a stunning centrepiece of tandoori turkey with crispy masala potatoes, balti gravy and cranberry chutney. Finally, after a nap on the sofa and the Queen’s speech, for dessert we’ve got Grandma’s favourite, a (boozy) trifle flavoured with cardamon and saffron topped with fragrant rose petals.

This box was absolutely amazing. We actually used it for our Christmas day meal and it was the best one we've ever had. We've been using the Spicery for 5 years and we can't recommend it highly enough!
After trying many different spice boxes and loved them I was really looking forward the the Xmas edition. I am saddened to say it totally ruined our Xmas dinner. The spices were bland to say the least and did not work at all together. We ended up with cheese and biscuits which were lovely.
Oh no we're really sorry to hear you didn't enjoy this! I have passed your feedback on to the recipe developers, in the meantime if you get in touch with us via email we can arrange sending you another spicebox you might prefer!
This Christmas I decided to do something a little different and I didn’t regret it. The prawn starter was tasty and my family have asked for the recipe. The Baltic gravy was a bug success to even the kids 4&5 year olds asked for more. Only down side was the amount of time I had to spend on the kitchen on Christmas Day, however this could have been avoided if I had prepped better the day before.
Fantastic! The spiced prawns look so Christmassy, glad everyone enjoyed this!
We loved this! We had it for New Year’s Day instead of Christmas Day. Absolutely delicious!
YUM this looks like a marvellous meal to bring in the New Year, the trifle looks beautiful!
Flavorful, not too hot, not too complex to make - amazing. We added some chana masala, Saag paneer and curried eggplant.
Wow this is a truly marvellous meal- nice work!
Another Spice Box success! Prawns in particular were superb - we chose extra large king prawns. Never thought of using cranberry in a trifle but really enjoyed it. We made our own cranberry sauce instead of buying one. All in all a really enjoyable meal.
Yum sounds like a spectacular feast, happy spicing!
What a masterpiece! Although there is more time spent at prep, I was prepared and loved the result! It was a special dinner for my mother and we loved the Marsala potatoes and Baltic gravy! I would buy this again in a second!
We are so pleased to hear how much you loved this dish, and that it made a special meal - happy spicing!
Very good service!!!!!!!!
