Tomato Curry Blend
This simple curry is a great one to make in late summer, and you can use any mix of tomatoes you have to hand. It’s based on a South Indian dish called thakkali, and the combination of tangy tomatoes with hot fragrant spices and nutty seeds such as cumin and mustard is delicious simply served with plain rice and natural yogurt.

Another super blend from "The Spicery" wizards! Having received a free sample with another order, I promptly gave it a go following a super tomato harvest! A beautiful tasty concoction that would also be easily modified for any veggies out there. Ordered some more of this blend straight away.
I was very impressed with this recipe and the Tomato Curry Blend. I loved the flavour of the sauce created by the spices and the broken down tomatoes. I also loved the pop of flavour that the second batch of tomatoes brought to the party. A very clever and flavoursome creation.
Yum, this looks delicious, Robin! We're loving the contrast of the vibrant red tomatoes against the green of the coriander. We're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed this month's free sample!
2 days ago with some left over chicken I used the Tomato Curry Blend (Free Sample – thank you very much) Not enough meat so added leeks and a pepper. Served with a Bhaji and Flatbread with Raita on the side. The food just vanished – Can’t explain that!!!
A proper feast! Great to hear how much you loved this autumnal free sample!
Roast Chicken and Sprouts with a difference - Cooked "The Spicery Way". We just love that little burst offlavour from the cherry tomatoes. Made some mixed Raita and found some flatbreads - delicious
Loving the contrast of the vibrant red and green - Christmas has come early! Looks delicious!
This is a great blend to have in your cupboard for those occasions you find yourself with a surplus of tomatoes. I have made this before and really liked it. So when I received an unexpected gift of tomatoes I knew I could put them to good use. I also tried tomato dhal for the first time it was amazing and the two dishes went so well together. I had considered making some tomato chutney to go with it, but thought that might have been a step too far!
A double dose of tomatoes sounds like a great meal to us!
A family favourite. Creates a fresh, light tasting curry with minimal effort. Very healthy and easy for a mid-week family meal. Have used variously baby plum/cherry tomatoes and large tomatoes chopped up, home grown and shop bought and tastes great either way. Big thumbs up from us!
It's great to hear you enjoyed this terrific tomato curry!

Thanks for your lovely review, Helen - it's great to hear that your harvest of tomatoes went to good use in this tasty curry! It must feel really satisfying to enjoy a meal knowing that you not only cooked it from scratch, but also grew the ingredients yourself!
