Our barn, our recipes

Cooked in a barn above Silent Pool

This gravy starts the way it did in Mandira's family kitchen in Calcutta: whole spices, toasted and ground the same morning, cream stirred in slowly so it never splits.

We cook in small batches in a 400-year-old barn in the Surrey Hills, then blast-freeze every pot the day it's made. Cooked, then frozen. That order is the whole point.

Chana Masala, A Proper Vegan Chickpea Curry

Our chana masala is a chickpea curry with real backbone: chickpeas slow-cooked in a spiced tomato and onion base until the sauce clings to every one. It is vegan, made without gluten, and high in plant protein, which makes this chickpea curry a filling meal in its own right rather than a side. We cook it in small batches at our Silent Pool kitchen and blast-freeze it fresh, with no preservatives.

VEGAN, GLUTEN-FREE, HIGH IN PROTEIN
Chickpeas do the heavy lifting, so you get a chickpea curry that is vegan and full of fibre and plant protein. No dairy, no gluten ingredients. We cook in a kitchen that handles gluten, nuts and dairy, so check the label for serious allergies.

HOW SPICY IS IT?
Warm and savoury, with the tang of tomato and a gentle spice rather than a fierce heat. It suits most tastes at the table.

READY IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES
Heat this chana masala straight from frozen. Microwave for 4 to 5 minutes, oven or air fryer for 30, or 10 minutes on the hob. Stir halfway and serve hot.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH CHANA MASALA
Rice and a warm naan turn it into a full plate. It also works spooned over a jacket potato for an easy lunch, or next to a meat curry as part of a bigger spread. Add a dal and some onion bhajis and you have curry night for two.

WHY BUY THIS CHICKPEA CURRY
This is not a spice kit or a jar of sauce. It is a finished, award-winning chickpea curry, ready to heat and eat. Eleven Great Taste Awards, more than 520 five-star reviews, handmade in Surrey and delivered frozen across the UK. Order your chana masala today. This is home cooking rather than a watered-down curry-house version, and meat-eaters tend to go back for seconds. It reheats just as well the next day, spooned over rice or a jacket potato. Keep a couple in the freezer for the nights you want something filling with no effort.
