2 delicious, colourful vegan feasts from India - for 2 people!

The box contains spices and recipes to make a vegan thali from North India (veg curry, saag aloo, tamarind chutney and tomato salad), as well as one from South India (thakkali curry, dhal, kosambari and coconut chutney). Both meals serve 2 people

A thali is a selection of small dishes (usually vegetarian or as here, vegan) named after the metal dish it’s served on. Widely available across India, it’s a great way of trying a range of dishes with different flavours and textures, from curries and dhals to salads and chutneys - they’re always served with rice and often breads or poppadoms, too. Thalis in the north of India tend to be heartier and contain more starchy root vegetables, whereas South Indian thalis are often lighter and usually include coconut. For our North Indian thali we’re serving a rich mixed veg curry with a classic saag aloo, tangy tamarind chutney and a tomato salad to freshen everything up. And from South India we’ve got a vibrant tomato curry (called thakkali) served with dhal, a crunchy cabbage salad known as kosambari, and finally a zingy coconut chutney!

Easy to and quick make and tasted great even for a meat eater. Tamarind chutney was more than 3/5 chillies hot though.

Great to hear you enjoyed it!

A close up of the Thakkali Curry. This kit was a gift, and it was excellent

YUM a terrific Thakkali curry, it's great to see you're enjoying your gift!

We made the southern Indian thali on Saturday and found it to be delicious and so full of flavour. The crunchy cabbage salad went really well with it too. I don't think our blender blended the coconut chutney properly but it still tasted great. I have already ordered another! These kits are always foolproof and enjoyable to cook.

This all looks delicious, Sarah - great job! We're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed all of the different flavours in this dish, and found it fun and simple to cook too!

Got this box of goodies for Christmas and loved both the Northern (top) and Southern (bottom) thalis - unusual and new flavours - a real treat!

Your presentation is gorgeous - we're absolutely loving the variety of colours and textures on one plate! It's great to hear how much you enjoyed both of these dishes!
