Stir halfway

Give it a stir midway and heat until piping hot throughout.

Serve

Spoon over rice, tear the naan. Dinner's done.

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.

Good questions

Before your first order

How is it delivered?
Boxed and sent by overnight courier, dispatched Tuesday to Friday across mainland UK. Nothing here is frozen, so it can sit on a shelf until it is wanted. Collection from the barn is available seven days a week.
Allergens & dietary info?
Every allergen is listed on this page. We cook in a kitchen that handles gluten, nuts and dairy, so while we make every effort to avoid cross-contamination we cannot guarantee it. If you have a serious allergy, ring us on 01483 940789 before you order and we will talk it through.
How many does it serve?
Artisan Tin
How do I store it?
Store in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed, away from sunlight and strong odours.
Can I make this without milk?
A heaped teaspoon per cup, simmered with milk, water and sugar for four to five minutes. Strain before pouring. This one is made with milk, not poured over it.
