More info

Much of India’s vast railway system was built during the British Raj era, including a stretch from Mumbai (formerly Bombay) all the way to Peshawar (in what is now Pakistan). The train known as The Frontier Mail ran this route, and the journey time of 72 hours meant that plenty of provisions - including this delicious curry - would be dished out to first class customers. Alongside the rich lamb curry we have buttery garlic coriander naans, combining to make a fantastically indulgent meal!

Delicious! The curry smelled heavenly already when just cooking and tasted even better when it was finished. The paratha were lovely and I so enjoyed making them. The cauliflower was fantastic. The tomato salad and the spicy carrots really pulled this dish together. My well-travelled partner was all nostalgic and reminisced about his time in India. I was told that the leftovers were most delightful the next day, too.

What a delicious combo! My husband made the parathas and they were lip-smacking! The curry was tasty and the salad a nice refresher. And enough for lunch the next day!

Picture taken after we had started to tuck in. The smells and aromas were such that we couldn't wait to get started and the taste matched this. Spicy, but not in a blow your head off way, so full of flavours and tastes. Had great fun making.

Loved the Railway curry we used lamb, and the carrot pickle. Not so sure about the Achari Gobi. Added my own Ocra curry and onion bahjis. Lovely meal enjoyed by all

We loved this meal. The carrot pickle and spicy cauliflower dish went so well with the curry itself. We loved the onion parathas which were very easy to make and so perfect for the lovely rich sauce. Another excellent meal, thanks!

What a fantastic meal... railway curry was amazing..the carrot pickle was the real surprise..was incredible..and onion parathas complimented the curry perfectly

The flavors were wonderful. I appreciate the recipe steps provided for the entire meal, it made the timing of all the dishes much easier. This was my first “Spicery” meal, it was fun and I’m anticipating our next box!

The best bit was the carrot pickle, absolutely superb. The onion parathas were fun. Being a vegetarian I made the railway curry with squah and mushrooms. If I do it again Ill leave out the squag and do more mushrooms. Achari Gobi alittle underwhelming

The first of our subscription, had this as a new year meal and loved it. We used broccoli instead of cauliflower for the achari Gobi but it was delicious.

This curry was very tasty and spicy. We loved the onion parathas and how easy they were to make! We didn’t do the achari gobi as we aren’t a fab of cauliflower but loved the rest of the dish.

Wonderful selection of spices, for the lamb-based curry, and side dishes. Gorgeous aromas when cooking, quite spicy when eating, especially the carrot pickle!

Our first subscription pack and it was amazing. Had fun preparing and cooking the meal together. Really yummy. Nice to have the heat in the carrot dish, a nice surprise. We live in Switzerland and not many curry houses here, so fantastic to have the rec...

Really tasty curry with a nice spicy kick from the carrot pickle. Was quite time intensive but worth it for something very different than I would usually make
