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.

Complete the Meal

Gelato, sorbet and the pudding that ends a curry

Our puddings are Indian-inspired gelato and sorbet churned in small batches, alongside gulab jamun and a handful of sweet things to eat with chai. The gelatos take their flavours from the spice shelf rather than the syrup bottle: cardamom with mango, tea with pistachio, almond with fig, and one made with our own award-winning pineapple chutney.

The two sorbets are dairy free, which makes them the pudding to reach for when the table is mixed, and the sharper one clears the palate after a hot curry better than anything creamy can. We churn it all above Silent Pool. The gelatos contain dairy and two of them contain nuts.

Good to Know

Questions about our puddings

Which of your desserts are vegan?

The Lychee Martini Sorbet and the Watermelon and Tamarind Sorbet are both vegan and dairy free. All four gelatos contain dairy.

What is gulab jamun?

Warm milk dumplings soaked in a cardamom syrup, and the classic way to finish an Indian meal. We sell them six to a box, and they are best warmed through in the syrup rather than eaten cold.

Do any of your ice creams contain nuts?

Yes. Chai and Pistachio and Fig and Almond both contain nuts. The sorbets are the safer choice, though we cook in a kitchen that also handles nuts, so we cannot promise there are no traces.

Does the Lychee Martini Sorbet contain alcohol?

Yes, it is made with gin. Choose the Watermelon and Tamarind Sorbet instead if children are eating or you would rather not serve alcohol.

What is the best dessert after a hot curry?

Watermelon and Tamarind Sorbet. It is sharp, cold and vegan, and it clears the palate far better than anything creamy does after chilli.

Can I buy a single portion of ice cream?

Yes. Chai and Pistachio Gelato and Watermelon and Tamarind Sorbet both come as 100ml single servings, alongside the 500ml tubs.

How do you cook the Spiced Chocolate Samosas?

In the oven at 180C for about fifteen minutes, or an air fryer for ten. Never the microwave, because the pastry needs to stay crisp.

How is ice cream delivered?

Packed to stay cold in our insulated boxes and sent by overnight courier across mainland UK. Put it straight into the freezer when it arrives.

How long should the gelato sit out before serving?

About ten minutes. Straight from the freezer it is too hard to scoop properly, and you lose the texture that makes it gelato rather than ice cream.

How many people does one tub feed?

A 500ml tub gives four generous scoops or six modest ones. One tub and a box of gulab jamun will finish a table of six.

Where are your puddings made?

They are churned and made by hand in small batches at our kitchen in a converted barn above Silent Pool, near Albury in the Surrey Hills.
