Good choice of purchasing boxes with several dishes or single dish packets. No added delivery charge at checkout is good and packaging that fits through letterbox helps,

This is a bit watery if done according to the recipe. Would use less yogurt next time.

This went down a treat with the whole family. Very tasty. I prefer a slightly spicier dish so maybe add a little extra chilli next time.

Seriously tasty! My husband said this was as good as any takeaway; if not better! I did add some fresh chillies to our taste, but the curry was so fragrant and flavourful. The little pops of heat every now and then made it perfect for us.
