Indian Cookery

Product Information

It's not only my responsibility but a privilege to keep her legacy alive, and a great pleasure to bring you many of her finest recipes and spice blends.

Like many dishes in the northern part of India, this wonderful keema curry has Persian roots and was brought to India by the Mughals. Using our blend, the simplicity of its preparation makes it a weeknight treat, and its elegance makes it an entertaining classic. It's traditionally made with lamb mince but is just as delicious with any minced meat OR the vegetarian, vegan and plant-based versions. I've created these gourmet spice blend gifts for me and my family to honour and stay connected with my grandma, while helping people experience and enjoy truly authentic homestyle Indian food.

African & Middle Eastern spices

Born in 1912 in Punjab, Mrs Balbir Singh was a beloved and celebrated author and chef of the early 20th century. She is widely regarded as one of the most influential cookery writers and teachers of modern India. The most important spice blend in Northern India. Different family or regional versions of Garam Masala are used in the majority of Indian kitchens on a daily basis. We include our own heritage blend in this gift box for you to use towards the end of each of the recipes in this gift box as a finishing spice, elevating the whole dish to perfection. Winners of World Food Innovation Award 2015, Spice Drops are very different to whole or ground spices that we're all used to. Spice Drops are highly concentrated extracts of various herbs, roots, fruits and flowers so a little drop goes a long way. We particularly love this baking spice collection as it's a brilliant way of adding flavour to your bakes without the fuss. The kit comes with rose, cinnamon, ginger and cardamom drops that can also be used in drinks or to enhance the aroma of savoury dishes such ascurries. Of the many hundreds of alumni from Singh's cookery classes, a large number have gone on to pass on their knowledge in the professional cooking world, and their teacher's inspiration and influence can be seen in many subsequent and modern-day Indian cookbook authors, restaurateurs and cookery teachers. Her dishes continue to be experienced and enjoyed by lovers of Indian food around the world.
