Pathia has similarities to the hot and sour curries of Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka - it's sweet from the use of sugar and caramelised onion, sour from the addition of lemon juice and tamarind, and slightly hot from the chillies, both whole and ground. On the side is a simple saag aloo (spinach and potato) dish, subtly flavoured with mustard seeds, cumin and garam masala.

This kit contains the recipe and all of the spice blends needed to cook the different components of the meal - all you need to do is add a few fresh ingredients and follow the simple steps!
