Railway Curry with Achari Gobi and Onion Paratha
A rich lamb curry from the British colonial era in India…
Much of the India’s vast railway system was built during the British Raj era - including a stretch between Mumbai (formerly Bombay) all the way to Peshawar (in what is now Pakistan). The train known as The Frontier Mail ran this route and the journey time of 72 hours meant that plenty of provisions, including this delicious curry, would be provided to first class customers!
At the time the unadventurous British would eat this curry with a Scottish morning roll but we’re serving it instead with some North Indian favourites - onion paratha, a refreshing salad, a simple cauliflower dish known as achari gobi and a fiery carrot pickle.

Lovely recipe. Whole family loved it.
Delicious. I added a teaspoon of soft brown sugar to the curry at the end. Might leave the potatoes out if I make again - just serve with rice (here basmati with some saffron). The carrot pickle was hot!
YUM this looks great, beautiful patterned crockery too!
Really tasty curry with a nice spicy kick from the carrot pickle. Was quite time intensive but worth it for something very different than I would usually make
YUM this looks brilliant- great to hear you enjoyed this!
Received this as a Christmas gift and loved everything about it I don't cook from scratch very often as never get the time but wow , wow ,wow the flavours were amazing and got a 5 ☆ rating from the whole family cooking the Moroccon lamb today for tea
WOW we can see why everyone enjoyed the meal! Well done!
My first experience of cooking Indian food. The easy to follow instructions were great just as the food was.
Everything looks amazing and so fresh- great job!
I was gifted a subscription for Xmas and this was my first effort. It turned out really well and everyone enjoyed it but it felt quite a challenge and the lack of temperature guidance for cooking various parts were the only reason I didn’t give this 5 out of 5. Looking forward to the next recipe
Wow this looks delicious! Thanks for your feedback too, we're always looking for ways to improve our recipes so this is really helpful, I have passed this on to the recipe developers!

The Railway Curry was absolutely delicious. The spicing was perfect
Woohoo we're all aboard the taste train, everything looks incredible!
YUM this looks like a rich and delicious Railway Curry!
Incredible depth of flavour in the Railway curry superbly complemented by the sides. You should have seen the kitchen after but a great first experience of the Spicery
Looks like a fantastic first spicebox meal! We're happy to hear that you really enjoyed this!
Delicious, fresh and authentic. The carrot pickle was especially tasty!
Wow this looks delicious! The parathas look perfect and we love the pretty pattern on the plates!
This was our first curry club spice box and it was delicious! Even our 7 month old daughter got stuck in to the lamb curry- it was a big hit! Thanks so much :)
Glad you enjoyed this- everything looks delicious! Plus the colourful bowls are awesome!
Loved it! Forgot we didn't have a cauli, so used some savoy cabbage! Just going to have to make this again!
WOW this looks fantastic- hats off to the chef!
Loved my cooking journey for this meal - took some time due to the number of elements but tasted fab!
Glad you enjoyed this- everything looks absolutely delicious!
Forgot to take the picture before I ate some, took me a while to make as I’m not the normal house cook but loved doing it and was really impressed with the taste! Excellent!
Fantastic, glad you really enjoyed this!
Our first subscription pack and it was amazing. Had fun preparing and cooking the meal together. Really yummy. Nice to have the heat in the carrot dish, a nice surprise. We live in Switzerland and not many curry houses here, so fantastic to have the recipes and spices with this subscription.
Great to hear you really enjoyed this, looks like a delicious meal with some nice bubbles to wash it down with! We look forward to seeing your next creations- cheers!
Wonderful selection of spices, for the lamb-based curry, and side dishes. Gorgeous aromas when cooking, quite spicy when eating, especially the carrot pickle!
WOW this is stunning, everything looks delicious and we love the beautiful tablerunner too!
Lovely curry, but the sides weren't as good as other Spicebox curry's
