One thing I love is a curry, but although over the years I have tried, have never been able to make an authentic curry at home. I usually tend to move back to jars after yet another failed attempt at making my own.
When I was recently contacted to ask if I would like to review Spice Pots Festive Food Survival Kit. I had seen and read about these before, and wanted to try them.

Festive Food Survival Kit
The kit comprises of
- 4 Spice Pots
- A recipe booklet
I wanted to try these spice pots out and decided to choose a recipe from the booklet to try out
Bhuna Butter Chicken
A lovely homemade curry using fresh or left over chicken
- 4 cm grated ginger
- 6 cloves garlic crushed
- 150 ml natural yoghurt
- 8 tsp Bhuna Spice Pot Mix (Spice Pots)
- 400 g tin chopped tomatoes
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 kg chicken breasts cut into chunks
- Oil (for frying)
- 1 large onion chopped
- coriander to garnish
- 4 tbsp double cream (optional)
- Mix Together
Ginger, garlic, yoghurt, Bhuna spices, tomatoes and salt.
Add the chicken and coat thoroughly
Cover and maranade for the minimum of 2 hours (overnight is preferable)
- Heat the oil in a pan and cook the onion until soften and browned.
Add the chicken mitur5e and fry for 2 minutes
- Mix in the coriander and cream if using and then put the chicken curry into a shallow oven proof dish
- Bake for 1 hour at 180 C.
If the top starts to brown too quickly cover with foil. If not browned you can brown under the grill at the end of cooking.
- Leave to stand for about 10 minutes
Serve with rice or choice of breads
The instructions easy to follow, and best of all it tasted amazing. I am now looking forward to trying their other amazing recipes both in the booklet and from their site.
