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.

Why the vegan and vegetarian range is the biggest one

Most Indian home cooking is vegan or vegetarian already. It was not built that way to suit a label, it simply is, and that is why this is the largest part of what we make rather than a short list at the end of the menu. The vegan dishes are chickpea and lentil curries, a nine-vegetable korma, rice and a row of handmade starters. The vegetarian dishes are the paneer and the dals that use butter and cream.

We cook them in small batches above Silent Pool, grinding whole spices every morning and using no artificial preservatives. The dals are the part of the range we are best known for.

Good to Know

Questions about our vegan and vegetarian dishes

Which of your vegetarian dishes is the mildest?

Navratan Korma and Dal Makhani are both mild, with warmth from the spices but no chilli heat. Navratan Korma is the one to give children, and it is vegan as well as mild.

Which dishes are vegan?

Chana Masala, Navratan Korma, Palak Dal, Kingfisher Watercress Dal, Sambar Dal, Vegetable Pulao, and the Vegetable Samosas, Spinach and Onion Pakoras, Pea Patties, Hara Bhara Kebabs and Kaju Corn Rolls. Every chutney we make is vegan too.

Which dishes are vegetarian but not vegan?

Palak Paneer, Dal Makhani, Lehsuni Dal, Vegetable Biriyani, Saffron Rice, Lemon Rice, Cashew and Coconut Rice and the Flame Baked Tandoori Naan all contain dairy.

Is your paneer suitable for vegetarians?

Yes. Paneer is a fresh cheese, so Palak Paneer is vegetarian but it is not vegan and it does contain dairy. If you want the same comfort without dairy, order Navratan Korma instead.

Which vegan dishes contain nuts?

Kaju Corn Rolls contain cashew nuts and Navratan Korma contains nuts. The dals, Chana Masala, the pakoras and all of the chutneys do not.

What is Dal Makhani?

Black lentils slow-cooked with butter and cream until they turn thick and dark. It is mild, it contains dairy, and it is the dish we are best known for.

Do you do a vegan or vegetarian meal box?

Yes. Date Night for 2 Vegan and Dine in for 4 Vegan come with the mains, rice, dal, samosas, naan and a chutney already chosen. Date Night for Two and Family Feast for Four both come in vegetarian versions.

Is the naan vegan?

No. The Flame Baked Tandoori Naan contains dairy. Serve a vegan main with Vegetable Pulao or Jeera Rice instead.

How long do the vegetarian curries take to cook?

About ten minutes on the hob from frozen with a splash of water, or four to five minutes in the microwave. The samosas, pakoras and kebabs want twenty minutes in the oven or an air fryer instead.

How many does each pack serve?

Two. A curry, a dal, a rice and two naans feeds two people properly, which is how we would lay the table ourselves.

Where are your vegan and vegetarian 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 across mainland UK.
