We keep this simple, because dinner should be.
Pick your dishes from the online shop. Each pack holds two generous portions, so build a box that suits your freezer and your appetite.
Small batches, family recipes, blast frozen within minutes of leaving the pot. That is how the taste and the goodness stay in.

Heat from frozen in a few minutes. Better than the takeaway, faster than the takeaway, and you know exactly what is in it.
Most Indian ready meals start with a base gravy made in bulk. Ours start with spices from single estates: pepper from one farm in Kerala, cardamom from one valley, turmeric from one corner of Andhra Pradesh. Spice expresses where it grew, the way wine does. When you cook with spices like that, you do not need shortcuts.
The proof sits on the shelf: 11 Great Taste Awards and counting, all won by food made in one mk26-small kitchen in Surrey by people whose names you could learn in an afternoon.

| Versus the takeaway | Ready in minutes rather than 45, a fraction of the salt and oil, and it costs less per head. Two portions in every pack anyway. |
| Versus the supermarket | No preservatives, no additives, no base gravy, no factory. Small batch cooking by hand, frozen at its peak rather than sitting chilled on a shelf. |
| Versus cooking it yourself | Honestly, if you have the time, cook. We will even teach you at one of our masterclasses. For the other six nights of the week, there is the freezer. |

Completely. Our meals contain real ingredients only: no preservatives and no additives. Our rule is simple: if your grandmother would not recognise an ingredient, neither do we.
