Curry pastes for curry night
Each 280g paste is a full curry base. Butter Chicken and Bombay are mild and family-friendly. Madras and Durban sit in the middle. Vindaloo is the hot one, vinegar-sharp and garlic-heavy. Chicken Tikka also works as a marinade for barbecued chicken thighs. More in our Indian range.
Pickles, kasundi and sambals
The lime pickles and kasundis are tempered in mustard oil, sour, pungent and properly hot. The sambals and laksa and tom yum pastes bring Malaysian and Thai flavour. See our pickles and Asian range.
