Our Story

Cooked in a converted cowshed, overlooking Silent Pool

What began as supper clubs in the Surrey Hills is now a kitchen sending proper Indian home cooking across the UK. We cook in small batches, with whole spices we grind ourselves and recipes handed down through generations.

Our chicken comes from family recipes rather than a spec sheet: a Delhi butter chicken, Mandira's mother's cashew and coriander murgh from Calcutta, a Goan xacuti built on dry-roasted coconut, and a dum-cooked biriyani.

Chicken, lamb and fish, cooked by hand in the Surrey Hills

Our meat and fish range is chicken, lamb and one fish dish. The chicken is four regional dishes: three curries and a dum-cooked biriyani. The lamb is Railway Lamb on the bone, minced Keema Mattar, a Lamb Biriyani and handmade Lamb Samosas. The fish is Meen Moilee, a Keralan curry built on coconut milk and curry leaf.

We cook them in small batches above Silent Pool, from recipes handed down through Mandira Sarkar's family rather than written to a spec sheet. Whole spices are ground every morning and nothing carries artificial preservatives. Heat runs from mild to hot, and Keema Mattar is the only dish we grade hot.

Good to Know

Questions about our meat and fish dishes

Which of your meat dishes is the mildest?

Murgh Makhani and Kaju Dhania Murgh are both mild, with warmth from the spices but no chilli heat. Murgh Makhani is the creamier of the two and the usual choice for children. Meen Moilee is the mildest fish dish.

Which is your hottest curry?

Keema Mattar, the minced lamb and pea curry. It is the only dish in the whole range we grade hot. Everything else on this page tops out at medium.

Which meat and fish dishes are dairy free?

Kaju Dhania Murgh, Chicken Xacuti, Keema Mattar, Meen Moilee and the Lamb Samosas are all made without dairy. Murgh Makhani, Chicken Biriyani and Lamb Biriyani contain dairy.

Are your curries made without gluten ingredients?

Most are, including all four chicken dishes, Railway Lamb, Keema Mattar and Meen Moilee. We cook in a kitchen that also handles wheat, nuts and dairy, so we cannot promise there are no traces. Ring the kitchen if you have a serious allergy.

How long does a curry take to cook from frozen?

About ten minutes on the hob with a splash of water, four to five minutes in the microwave, or thirty minutes in the oven or air fryer. No defrosting needed.

How many people does one pack feed?

Each pack serves two. Railway Lamb Curry stretches to three with a rice and a dal beside it, and there is a larger Railway Mutton Curry that serves four to five.

What is the difference between a curry and a biriyani?

A curry is meat in a sauce, served with rice on the side. A biriyani has the rice and the meat cooked together in one sealed pot, so the grains absorb the spices as they steam. Ours are made the dum way, which is the slower method.

Is your lamb curry on the bone?

Railway Lamb Curry is spring lamb on the bone, and so is the larger Railway Mutton Curry. Keema Mattar uses minced lamb and the Lamb Biriyani uses boneless pieces.

What fish do you use in the Meen Moilee?

White fish, poached in coconut milk with mustard seed, curry leaf and turmeric in the Keralan style. It is mild, and it is made without dairy.

Which dishes are suitable for children?

Murgh Makhani is the one most children eat happily. It is mild, creamy and has no chilli heat. Meen Moilee is mild too, though it is a fish curry. Kaju Dhania Murgh is mild but contains cashew nuts, so check that first.

Where are your meat and fish dishes made?

All of them are cooked by hand in small batches at our kitchen in a converted barn above Silent Pool, near Albury in the Surrey Hills, and delivered frozen across mainland UK.
