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.

Panch Mishali, A Bengali Mixed Vegetable Curry

Five vegetables, one Bengali five-spice, and the honest taste of home cooking. Panch Mishali is our mixed vegetable curry built the way it is made in Bengali kitchens: seasonal vegetables tempered with panch phoron and finished in mustard oil for that distinctive, slightly pungent warmth. We cook it in small batches at our Silent Pool kitchen in Surrey, then blast-freeze it fresh so nothing is lost. This is a proper home-style mixed vegetable curry, not a watered-down version of one.

HOW SPICY IS IT?
Gently spiced. The character here comes from panch phoron, the Bengali five-spice of cumin, fennel, fenugreek, nigella, and mustard seed, rather than raw chilli heat. You get warmth and aroma more than fire. If you want it hotter, add fresh chilli to taste while it warms through.

WHAT'S IN IT (AND ALLERGENS)
Five vegetables in a light, spiced base with panch phoron and mustard oil. This mixed vegetable curry is vegan and free from dairy. Please note it contains mustard. It is a naturally plant-based dish, so it suits vegan and vegetarian tables alike. Check the pack label for the full ingredient list if you are cooking around allergies.

READY IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES
Cook from frozen, no need to defrost. On the hob, tip it into a pan over a medium heat and stir for around 10 minutes until hot right through. The microwave takes 4 to 5 minutes. For the oven or air fryer, allow about 30 minutes. A stir partway keeps the vegetables coated and evenly heated.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH IT
Steamed basmati or plain rice lets the spicing shine. Warm roti or naan works well too. Serve this vegetable curry as a light main, or alongside a dal and rice for a fuller Bengali-style spread. A wedge of lemon on the side brightens every mouthful.

WHY BUY IT
With 15 Great Taste Awards and more than 520 five-star reviews behind us, you can trust the cooking. This mixed vegetable curry is blast-frozen fresh in small batches, made with no preservatives, and delivered UK-wide. It brings real Bengali home cooking to your kitchen in minutes, plant-based and full of flavour. Add the Panch Mishali to your order for an easy, honest vegan dinner.
