That may have been me or I second it lol, the spice you buy from this website is out of this world!And yes you do use cream in it, it's gorgeous and really authentic and better than the local indian lol.

It was you sleyle, I saved the site when you recommended it, thinking I would order and then I forgot!The site and product just looks fantastic!Thank you!

You are most welcome!I see they do a Morrocan Lamb spice too now which I must try out as they seem to know their spices :-)

nfh1, Sep 28, 5:43am
is the Morrocan lamb on a different site?

I like the watteis one in a can :)
I don't remember which one it is as they have 2, but it is the one that says 'new'

I also like one that comes in a jar, it is called spicy butter chicken, I think its Pataks?

I used the Tandoori Palace one tonight and it was really nice.

I used the Maggi one tonight and it is not as nice or authentic as the one from the butter chicken website.They are still no. 1!

years ago when my son was at home we used to buy the packet stuff and make it, then i tried a recipe out of a cookbook and managed to make it yummy without cream was so much healthier

This is a lot more fiddly in that you add your own fresh ingredients like butter, cream, tomato puree, ginger, garlic and yogurt but the SPICE N EASY range tastes amazing, the best I have ever tried and that includes restaurants, it has 6 little packets of spices and you cook in stages but it is really worth the effort.They also do a Korma which is just as nice.I bought it at Countdown.

Fully agree with the spice n easy packs, all their curries are fabulous, so authentic.

I TOTALLY agree~!Just bought 8 packets (well there's a few of us to feed) and it's a bargain, so tasty, and ridiculously easy to make!The aroma in the home is so good ... the kids ask if I've bought the "real" stuff from the local indian!
