5/5

Delicious side dish worked really well with mushrooms and sweetcorn as well

Really glad you enjoyed it! Happy spicing!

5/5

I confess I struggled to keep the batter on the chicken but it all tasted good at the end. What really saved me though was the pineapple and ginger pickle which married the chicken to the salad perfectly. Very tasty indeed.

Great to hear how much you enjoyed this combination of flavours - it looks like a fun and fabulous meal (even if the chicken didn't keep all of its coating on!)

4/5

These make a great alternative to onion bhajis as a starter. The batter had a good consistency, making it easy to shape each bajji. I'll definitely make them again.

These look absolutely fantastic! We're so happy to hear how much you enjoyed these coconutty balls of deliciousness!

5/5

What a delicious, sweet, creamy, fragrant dish this is. The ground nuts make it so incredibly creamy. The pomegranite seeds add bursts juice which balance out the creaminess to total perfection. This is definitely the kind of dish young and old can all enjoy together. Thank you guys we loved it

Your navratan korma looks fantastic, Debbie - those flaked almonds and vibrant pomegranate seeds just add such a beautiful finishing touch! We're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed this mild, creamy, delicious curry!

5/5

Really delicious. This is one of those dishes you cant help but keep eating while you are still cooking it. I just love that humble spinach and potato can taste like such a special treat. We had this with tandoori chicken and I suspect we will be having it with many other dishes too. Thank you guys for another gem.

This is a great, versatile side dish to add some green goodness to any curry meal, we're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed it!

5/5

Jeera chicken is completely to different to anything else that I have tried so far. It has added a new dimension to my culinary repertoire. We both enjoyed it very much and will be making this again soon. Yet another successful recommendation from the wonderful people at The Spicery. Thank you :-)

We're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed this dish - it's great to try something new sometimes, and perhaps it will become a firm favourite! Happy spicing!

5/5

Guest for evening new to the Spicery Company. Very impressed with dinner. Gold star.

Great to hear that this xacuti was a hit! Happy spicing!

4/5

Great curry. First "Curry Legend " Chicken Lababdar next

This looks fantastic, Dane - and beautifully presented in your lovely curry dish! We hope you love the Chicken Lababdar, too!

5/5

Another level of curry deliciousness! A Christmas gift for my husband who loves to cook. Every recipe tried has been absolutely delicious, current favourite is tomato daal. Love this kit, we’re now dedicated Spicery customers, thank you

It's wonderful to hear how much you've loved our Chef's Specials Cookbook Kit! One of our favourites is the Coconut & Ginger Dhal, which is perfect in the cooler weather. Happy spicing!

5/5

Very easy to make, taste amazing.

Thanks for sharing your lovely parathas. We're so glad to hear they were to your taste

5/5

As a fan of Onion Bhajis (from *How to Be a Curry Legend*, page 184, and *Curry Legend Veggie Table*, page 196), I was curious to try the Onion & Green Chilli Bhajis. The recipes are quite similar, and the method is the same. I made a batch of Onion Bhajis (pictured at the top) alongside Onion & Green Chilli Bhajis (pictured at the bottom). Both turned out delicious, but the Onion & Green Chilli Bhajis narrowly won the taste test. It was a close call, though! I’m sure it won’t be long before I repeat the experiment.

These look fantastically crispy and golden - great job! We're really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the slight kick that comes with the green chilli version!

5/5

Such a simple dish but so delicious! My absolute go too for Raitas. A firm favourite in our family!

It's always a good idea to have a cooling raita to balance any hot dishes in your curry feast! We're so pleased to hear how much you love this delicious cucumber and mint version!

5/5

It was a very well received gift to my bestie, who is also the chef of the house! I can happily confirm that the delicious meals that have been prepared using the kit were absolutely delish and he has been eagerly enjoying looking at the recipes and planning the next dishes!

Thank you so much for your lovely review - we're so pleased to hear how much your friend is loving their Cookbook Kit (and that you're enjoying benefitting from the delicious meals!)

5/5

This made a great veggie main after all the turkey over christmas. Will definitely make this again

Gobi musallam is always an impressive dish, and we're pleased to hear that you found it particularly enjoyable after a meat-heavy Christmas!

5/5

Bought for a Christmas present and was appreciated. Very pleased with the service as well as the product - the Spicery were happy to go the extra mile to keep the gift a surprise for the recipient.

We're so happy to hear how pleased you were with both our service and product - we really hope the lucky recipient loves their Spicery gift!

5/5

Bought for a Christmas present as we already use the cookbook and spices which have had many compliments. I'm sure the son in law will love it .

That's great to hear - I really hope he enjoys becoming a Curry Legend!

5/5

A fantastic Christmas gift for my lovely sister. The book is filled with tasty recipes and the spices smell amazing. It all comes in a beautiful tin that can be topped up with more spices when they have been used up. I'm sure my sister will love it.

Thanks for your brilliant review, we hope your sister is pleased with this Curry Legend Chef's Specials kit!

5/5

A brilliant gift for new home and for Christmas. An authentic gift that can last forever. The spices smell and cook together brilliantly. I have bought several they are a delight.

Thanks for your fantastic feedback, happy spicing!

5/5

So delicious and spicy . A fantastic tasty spread cooked by my lovely wife Elaine and well shared with good friends.

WOW! Looks like a Legendary meal, brilliant Balti bowls too!

5/5

Thanks to the Spicery I am becoming a fan of Dhal. Given I like both coconut and ginger, this one seemed an obvious choice. I was delighted by the results. I followed the "raise your game by..." suggestion and used coconut oil to toast the ginger and desiccated coconut. It sizzles and brings a hit of fragrance, flavour and drama to the table.

Wow! This really does look like a delicious dhal, hats off to the chef!
