Here’s a clever idea.  Meet Kent’s Kitchen’s new meal kits.We’ll be keeping a couple of these on larder stand-by – we tried the Madras Curry and loved it.

You add the fresh ingredients and these authentic mixes will (almost) do the rest.  You can rustle up a great curry in a hurry and there’s a whole range to tempt the tastebuds:  firecracker sweet and sour, chow mein stir-fry, green and red Thai curries, spicy Korma and a Moroccan tagine…(and more). Delve into the range here:
