Simply delicious. I have not made the chef special biryani before and it went down a treat. I love how the veg make the perfect compliment. This is true soul food for a rainy February evening. Thanks guys for this perfect curry classic.

Made this veg side dish with lamb rogan Josh - a nice change from rice.

Yes, it's a two hour cook, but you've got to love a recipe where you just bung everything in with no pre-cooking and leave it to get on with it. Maximum flavour for minimal effort!

Lovely creamy wintry dish with all the root vegetables. The cashews and pomegranate elevated this dish. Leftovers with sourdough bread the next day was delicious too. We love the freedom to add a variety of veggies to our dishes. It makes cooking Spicery...

My Pre Christmas batch-cooking cookathon is well underway. I had to pause to upload this fragrant beauty of a dish though. I'm only amazed that I have not made this Chef's Special wonder before. Delicious. Thank you guys. This tikka masala tast...

I’ve never cooked the Keralan beef before from the curry legends chef specials, but also decided to adapt it for the slow cooker with the addition of the tomato coconut chutney. Tasted fabulous. I’m a novice at slow cooker recipes so it would be grea...

Made Shahi Lamb this evening, which was very nice. The star of the meal, however, was the Navratan Korma. My husband us often sceptical when I suggest we go for the suggested vegetable side dish with one of the Legend mains, but even he said that this wa...

We had a coconut korma which was amazing with pilau rice and homemade pashwari naans which were v good.

It did taste good and we ate it all, it was just a bit on the sweet side.

I wanted to share the image of the chicken tikka from the chicken tikka masala recipe as it was so pretty and colourful! This went into the luxurious chicken tikka masala sauce and it got a 10/10 from the family so we'll definitely be making it agai...

For Billy and myself this is the best rice dish ever. This time we added extra cashews because they are just so good when cooked this way. It maybe a little early to mention it but we will be having this with cashews and chestnuts for our Twixmas curry f...

We had a delicious Coconut Raita to go with our nutty curry feast. We had ours with Ceylon Chicken, Chitranna Rice, Spicey Tomato Chutney and Thoran crunchy veg. The Coconut Raita was delicious to alternate with the Tomato Chutney so we could have both c...

Out of this world, what a flavour, great spice, nice enough heat, a winner for sure

S
Spicery Customer

First time I’ve cooked this. Really enjoyed the dish, and it lives up to its 3 heat rating, even only including 1 apache chilli (home grown chillies).

S
Spicery Customer

I made a Chicken Garlic Masala (using the King Prawn Garlic Masala recipe) with tomato Dhal and rice with Paratha Tahdig which was the best accompaniment to the feast! 10/10 again!!

S
Spicery Customer

I made Tandoori Chicken Pilau accompanied by Rajma Dhal which were a match made in heaven! I'll definitely be making this again it's a real crowd pleaser

S
Spicery Customer

I made Methi chicken accompanied by Chitranna rice, tomato daal and paratha. All of the dishes I cook using the curry legend blends (and I cook a lot of them!) are spectacular and this one will be a firm favourite. Thank you Spicery!

So well presented, interesting and colourful. Spice mixes are excellent and the recipes are easy to put together. Bought one for myself and was so impressed, I got one as a pressie for my son.

I substituted fresh Methi leaves for the spinach in the recipe, it was absolutely delicious. Served with easy dhal, chapatti and plain basmati rice.

This was a taste sensation plus, plus. We had the tandoori style coating and a delicious beetroot raita. With some easy bake crusty rolls it was incredibly easy to pull this dish together. The salmon flavour came through a treat and the lemony lettuce an...

A feast for one to last the whole week! Shahi lamb with coconut rice, aloo palak and coconut and ginger dhal. So many fantastic flavours.

Wow! Delicious. The lemon pickle was fantastic alongside the creamy coconut sauce.

Absolutely delicious. The creamy coconut sauce alongside the sharpness of the lemon pickle was amazing. Will reorder!

S

It exceeded my expectations, the recipes were easy to follow. I have now cooked curries that have a name, for the first time and they tasted really good. I will be back to replace the the mixes when they run out!

This curry has a wonderfully fresh flavour. I followed the 'raise your game' suggestion of adding some mint to the coriander, which I really enjoyed. I also appreciated the pops of ginger in the topping.

Chicken Lababdar is truly a chef's special. It is an indulgently creamy and beautifully flavoured dish. It was so easy to make but tasted as though it must have been cooked by an experienced Indian Cuisine chef. We had ours with bombay potatoes and ...
