This week (12th – 18th October) marks the 18th National Curry Week and last Wednesday I was invited to an evening with Indian chef, Hari Ghotra.
You may have seen on my Instagram that I have enjoyed one or two of Hari’s curry kits at home before, but hadn’t had the lady herself cook for me! Well, now I’m pleased to say that I have!
It was an intimate affair, which gave us (myself, FoodieEshe, Amy Rutter and Gluten Free Dining) a chance to watch Hari’s processes and ask her all of our most pressing curry related questions!
(Eshe, Hari, and Amy)
Hari cooked lamb bhuna for the meat eaters, and I had a vegetable bhuna to enjoy! It was delicious.
We also got to make samosas, which were absolutely delicious and so simple to make! Have you ever made samosas from scratch? I much preferred them to the shop bought ones, that’s for sure!
Hari has a LOT of recipes on her website, so if you want to cook something delicious you should check it out! There’s something for everyone – whether you eat meat, are vegetarian or vegan, or are gluten free! Plus her curry kits are great too! I’ve used two now – the makhani and madras, and fully recommend them. For £3 they include all of the spices you need to make the curry for 4 people.
Are you doing anything for National Curry Week? Or are there any recipes on Hari’s website you fancy trying? Let me know in the comments below!
Oh my god they are so cheap. I'm a spice and herb hoarder. And now I need this in my life haha.

They are indeed! I love the fact that you can stretch them even more if you have the spice tin, too!
