More info

Reshmi kebabs are a dish of Moghul origin whose Persian-inspired cuisine was intricate and expensive to prepare. This was due in part to their use of costly ingredients such as meat, cream, nuts and spices. These kebabs are now eaten throughout northern India and Pakistan which is where we get the inspiration for the rest of the side dishes: dum aloo - a potato dish flavoured with tangy tamarind - a fruity chaat salad and sweet tomato chutney. Homemade buttery saffron parathas complete this incredibly colourful and flavoursome spread.

This is my son, who makes dinner for the family every Thursday. Well done to our budding chef, Henry (aged 12). These kits are perfect for him!

This was a great kit - good value for money especially as I bought it in the sale. Lots of different flavours and easy to follow instructions. Definitely not a quick and easy dinner with all the different components; however, it made an excellent Saturda...

The saffron parathas were the absolute star of the show!

Probably one of my favourite so far! LOVED the parathas but not too fuss about the potato salad. The bread with the salad and the kebabs were enough with the lovely sweet chutney!

Living my bargain spice blend meals! Haven't tried the other recipe but this was delicious. Gentle spice marinade, rich potatoes and light fruity salad. Will definitely make it again.

We enjoyed all parts of this recipe. It was just as nice the next day as leftovers and our two year old loved trying the Dum aloo.

It took me quite a long time, only because I wanted to get it right, it being my first. In fact the recipes are easy to follow, and the ingredients to buy are easy to obtain, making the whole experience a pleasure. I forgot to buy skewers, so grilled t...

First box out of 12 and it was like I was back in India - soo delicious!

The flavours in this meal left us wanting more! Easy to prepare, though the parathas are a bit fiddly. The portion size was spot on. I think the prep time (30 minutes) and cook time (1 hour 5 minutes) should be swapped.

Delicious and especially refreshing on a summer's evening thanks to the fruit chaat salad!
