5/5

A tasty chicken curry with a spicy chilli sambal enjoyed as part of our first meal in the 2025 sunshine. Thank you to The Spicery for continuing to inspire us to cook new meals to share with friends. We loved it. :)

How wonderful to be able to enjoy your meal al fresco, and even better with great company! We're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed this dish, and that our recipes have encouraged you to try new things!

5/5

Not enough chicken left over from a roast so added leek, mushroom and a pepper to make it up. Added a little extra Coconut milk to keep the consistency as we like and the result was great - but what else do we expect from the Spicery? Thank you.

Yum! Looks like a fantastic combination of flavours to us - glad you really enjoyed this!

4/5

Fiery Sambal compliments the curry flavours beautifully & the Spring rolls were so much fun to make.

It's great to hear how much you enjoyed this meal, Paul, and that you had fun making it too! Everything looks delicious!

5/5

Found the spices in the back of a cupboard, dated 2014. Risked them and was right to do so. Turned cucumber salad into Kosambari, The braised Aubergines and Sambal were delicious too. What a Nonya Feast.

How wonderful- the Kosambari looks divine and everything looks so rich and flavoursome!
